Austin Tank Truck Accident Attorneys
Committed to Fighting Tirelessly for You
Tanker trucks are tractor-trailer trucks that carry liquids or gases, which may be flammable or toxic—for example, petroleum, propane, and various hazardous chemicals or waste products. This creates additional dangers to people in the surrounding area if a fire or release of toxic chemicals should occur. If a tank containing a liquid cargo is under-filled (less than three-quarters full) the sloshing of the liquid can cause an imbalance that has the potential to cause the driver to lose control, making the tanker roll over, especially if the driver must apply the brakes abruptly in an emergency.
If you or your loved one was involved in a tank truck accident, Briggle & Polan, PLLC can help. Our Austin tank truck accident attorneys know how to navigate these types of complex cases; we understand how to determine liability and what it takes to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Get Help from a Reliable Legal Team
Calculating the full cost of your damages from a tank truck accident can be difficult. Not only do you need to take into account the cost of immediate emergency medical treatment, but you also need to consider the ongoing care that will likely be required on the road to recovery. Victims typically need multiple surgeries, physical and cognitive rehabilitation therapy, medications, and personalized pain management programs. In some cases, victims will be confined to wheelchairs and will, therefore, need to make modifications to their homes and vehicles to accommodate their new disabilities. And, of course, there is the emotional cost of such an accident. Victims typically experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
