Semi-trucks are such a common sight on the highways around Houston that we sometimes forget how hazardous they can be. Fully loaded, these commercial vehicles weigh easily 10 times as much as your car or SUV, and when the two collide, you and your passengers are unlikely to escape without serious, disabling injuries. At Culpepper Law Group, we believe negligent truckers and trucking companies should be held accountable for the harm they cause. We’re here to help you get a fair settlement. Call our Sugar Land, TX truck accident lawyer today for a consultation.

Commercial big rigs weigh up to 80,000 pounds with a full load in the trailer. By contrast, the average weight of a passenger car or SUV is about 4,000 pounds. The force of the impact causes severe injuries to those in the much-smaller vehicle, like broken bones, brain trauma, and organ damage. Many people are temporarily or permanently disabled, which may mean that they can no longer work in the same job they had before the accident, or are unable to work, period. The lifetime cost of care for serious truck accident injuries can easily reach six figures, often a lot more. If you didn’t cause the wreck, you shouldn’t have to pay these costs.
Our Sugar Land truck accident lawyer is here to help you get a fair settlement for all the medical care you need to treat your truck accident injuries, including compensation for future medical needs. We also demand compensation for other losses, such as missed wages if you can’t work, modifications to your home or vehicle to accommodate a new disability, and the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle. You’re also entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering and emotional trauma; we negotiate as much as possible for your non-economic damages.
We prepare the case against the at-fault trucker and trucking company, gather supporting evidence, and collaborate with expert witnesses, such as medical experts and transportation specialists, to help us build a strong case. Our attorneys can negotiate a settlement out of court, but we always prepare for trial, so we’re never taken by surprise if the other side refuses to deal.
Our Experience Matters After An Injurious Semi-Truck Crash
Truck accident claims have more complications than other types of traffic collision claims, including the likelihood of multiple defendants and serious inures suffered by the victims. Insurance carriers often push back against high-dollar claims, so your case must be strong, with plenty of evidence to support it.
