Case Filed for Texas Trucker Injured in Crash

Arnold & Itkin has filed suit on behalf of a Texas truck driver who was seriously injured after being struck by a commercial vehicle.

According to the lawsuit, the defendant driver failed to ensure that there was adequate space before turning into the lane that was occupied by our client’s vehicle, resulting in a collision that could have easily been avoided if the driver had used basic caution. Because of the other driver’s inattention and recklessness, our client suffered significant injuries to his elbow, along with injuries to other parts of his body.

Commercial drivers are held to a higher standard, because the vehicles that they operate can cause catastrophic harm when handled carelessly. Failing to check blind spots, misjudging clearance, or rushing a turn are no mere oversights; they’re the kind of mistakes that can change lives in an instant. That is why transportation companies need to abide by all regulations when it comes to hiring, training, and supervising their drivers. When such companies turn a blind eye to bad driving habits in the interests of meeting deadlines and making a profit, it’s innocent people like our client who end up paying the price.

The motor vehicle accident attorneys at Arnold & Itkin are committed to holding negligent commercial drivers and the companies that employ them accountable for the harm that they cause. Our client did not choose to be involved this collision and did not cause it. He shouldn’t have to bear the financial and physical burden of someone else’s carelessness. We will pursue full compensation for his medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
