Liability in a Truck Accident

Determining fault in a truck accident is rarely straightforward. Unlike a typical car crash, these cases often involve multiple parties with distinct roles and responsibilities.

At Vice Henley & Dilbeck, we conduct a thorough investigation to uncover every contributing factor of your accident. After all, accountability matters, and your recovery depends on a clear understanding of what went wrong.

Several parties may share responsibility, including:

The truck driver. Mistakes such as speeding, distracted driving, or operating under the influence can have devastating consequences.
The trucking company. Employers may be liable for poor hiring practices, inadequate training, or pressuring drivers to violate safety regulations.
The cargo loader. Improperly secured cargo can shift during transit, causing the driver to lose control.
A maintenance provider. Missed inspections or faulty repairs can lead to mechanical failure on the road.
The manufacturer. Defective components—such as brakes, tires, or steering systems—may contribute to a crash.

What makes these cases especially complicated is the web of contracts, regulations, and insurance policies that govern commercial trucking. Each party may deny responsibility or shift blame, and uncovering the truth requires persistence, precision, and a deep understanding of how these systems operate.

What Damages Are Available in a Truck Accident Claim?

A collision with a commercial truck often results in life-altering injuries. Seeking compensation is about restoring stability and providing the resources needed to rebuild.

Damages may include:

Economic damages. Compensation for expenses with an objective monetary value, like medical bills, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity.
Non-economic damages. Compensation for less tangible losses, like pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Seeking Justice for a Lost Loved One

When a truck accident takes a life, the loss is immeasurable. Families are left grieving, facing emotional devastation and financial uncertainty.

At Vice Henley & Dilbeck, we stand with those who have lost loved ones in these tragic circumstances. Our role is to help you pursue justice with compassion, clarity, and unwavering commitment.

Texas law provides two distinct legal paths for families seeking accountability. A wrongful death claim allows spouses, children, or parents to seek compensation for the personal impact of their loss—such as lost financial support, emotional suffering, and the absence of companionship. These claims recognize the deep and lasting effects a sudden death can have on those left behind.

In addition, the victim’s estate may pursue a survival action. This legal route focuses on the harm the individual experienced before passing, including physical pain and emotional distress. It honors the person’s right to be heard, even after death.

These cases are emotionally complex and legally demanding. At Vice Henley & Dilbeck, we approach them with the dignity and care they deserve. We listen closely, act purposefully, and fight for outcomes reflecting the value of the life lost and the needs of those left to carry on.
