-
Possibly. Under Texas's modified comparative fault rule, you can still recover damages as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50 percent, though your recovery would be reduced proportionally. We build cases designed to establish the strongest liability position the evidence supports.
-
Yes. Commercial trucking policies carry significantly higher coverage limits than personal auto policies, and cases involving multiple defendants may have more than one policy in play. That is one reason these cases are defended so aggressively.
-
That is standard. Trucking defendants often put forward explanations designed to minimize or deflect liability as quickly as possible after a wreck. Physical evidence, electronic records, and company documents frequently tell a different story than the one offered at the scene.
