Why You Need a Lawyer After a Truck Accident
Truck Accidents Are Incredibly Complex
Truck accidents are usually more complicated than typical car accidents. Numerous entities can be at fault in a truck crash, including the truck driver, the trucking company, the manufacturer of the commercial vehicle, the loader of the truck’s cargo, and more. On top of that, each of these parties likely has its own insurance company. Without the help of an aggressive, dedicated truck accident lawyer, victims can have a hard time just figuring out who to hold accountable.
Trucking Companies Have Extensive Resources
Trucking companies are huge corporations that employ teams of attorneys. These professionals are paid to protect the legal and financial interests of the company in the face of personal injury and negligence suits. These trucking companies also work with large insurance companies that specialize in denying claims. The odds are stacked against everyday people who become the victims of trucking accidents. Fortunately, the truck accident attorneys at Dow Law Firm are available to make sure that the law works as well for the little guy as it does for the trucking companies.

A Bus Accident Attorney Who Can Help You Collect Compensation
Due to the size of these vehicles and the number of individuals typically involved, a bus accident can have serious consequences. In addition, buses are subject to a more complex set of regulations than other motor vehicles. Collecting compensation after a bus accident requires an advanced understanding of the laws affecting different types of buses and the companies that own them. If you have been injured in an accident involving a government or privately-owned bus, our bus accident attorneys at the Dow Law Firm can help you collect compensation. Schedule a complimentary consultation today by calling our Austin, TX, practice at (512)240-9951 or contacting us online.
Common Causes of Bus Accidents
Similar to truck accidents, one of the main causes of bus accidents is negligence on the part of the bus driver or the driver of another vehicle. Examples of driver negligence can include:
- Distracted driving
- Sleep deprivation
- Alcohol or drug use
- Excessive speeding
However, the cause of the accident may be attributed to another source. Mechanical issues can stem from improper maintenance on behalf of the company that owns the bus. In addition, inadequate driver training or supervision can result in serious accidents. Discovering the exact cause of your accident can help determine who is responsible for your injuries. At the Dow Law Firm, we work with experts in accident reconstruction who can collect the evidence necessary to build a strong case for your compensation.
What Kind of Compensation Can You Recover?
Depending on the details of your trucking or bus accident, our Austin law firm can help you and your family receive compensation for:
- Medical Bills
- Property Damage
- Pain and Suffering
- Lost Earning Potential
- Disfigurement
- Impairment
- Emotional Trauma
In some cases, you can also seek punitive damages, which are intended to punish the defendant for especially reckless or deliberately harmful behavior.
