League City, Texas Truck Accident Lawyers
Trucking companies are required by law to comply with state and federal regulations regarding a truck's weight, how cargo is loaded and secured, and whether special precautions need to be taken given the materials hauled. When cargo is improperly loaded or secured, trucking companies can be held financially liable for injuries and fatalities that occur as a result. We have made multi-million dollar recoveries for individuals injured by shifting and falling cargo from trucks.
At the Krist Law Firm, we work with experienced truck accident investigators and trucking experts in order to expose negligence on the part of trucking companies, their drivers, and those who loaded a vehicle in accidents involving improperly loaded cargo. We check weigh station records and shipping manifests in order to expose inconsistencies between how much a truck was supposed to carry and how much was actually hauled.

The Financial Cost of an Improperly Loaded Truck
Injuries associated with improperly loaded trucks are often severe if not fatal. In order to ensure our clients receive compensation proportional to their injuries, our attorneys consult medical economists and life care planners who provide cost projections for future medical care, surgery, medical equipment, lost wages, and diminished quality of life.
Working from established cost data gathered by HMOs and insurance companies, our attorneys provide accurate cost projections associated with brain damage, paraplegia / quadriplegia, burns, and spinal cord injuries. In order to undermine the claims of medical experts testifying for the trucking company, our office regularly works with neurologists, orthopedists, and other specialists in establishing the scope and nature of our client's injuries.
