The Ammons Law Firm has taken legal action against several companies following a devastating truck accident on Interstate 20 near Weatherford, Texas. The lawsuit names BZO Wheel and Tire Distributor, LLC and Industrial Power, LLC as defendants, along with other parties involved in the incident.
According to the legal filing, a family was traveling in their Ford Mustang when traffic came to a stop. Allegedly, a Hino L6 truck owned by BZO Wheel and Tire failed to slow down and struck the family’s vehicle from behind. The impact was so severe that it pushed the Mustang into the vehicle in front of it, causing a second collision. As a result of this crash, the family members suffered serious injuries and damages.
The Ammons Law Firm is pursuing multiple legal theories in this case. They allege that the driver of the Hino truck, who was an employee of BZO Wheel and Tire, was negligent in operating the vehicle. The lawsuit claims that the driver failed to control their speed, keep a proper lookout, and take timely evasive action to prevent the collision.
Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges that BZO Wheel and Tire is vicariously liable for their employee’s actions under the doctrine of respondeat superior. This legal principle holds employers responsible for the negligent acts of their employees when those acts occur within the scope of employment. The Ammons Law Firm also claims that BZO Wheel and Tire was independently negligent in failing to properly train their driver and safely manage their fleet.
The lawsuit also involves Industrial Power, LLC, the company that allegedly sold the Hino truck to BZO Wheel and Tire. The Ammons Law Firm claims that Industrial Power, through its sales staff, negligently failed to inform BZO Wheel and Tire about crucial collision avoidance technology features available for the truck. This omission allegedly led to BZO Wheel and Tire not opting to have this potentially life-saving technology installed on the vehicle.
The legal action seeks compensation for the victims’ physical pain, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, medical expenses, and lost earning capacity. The Ammons Law Firm is committed to holding all responsible parties accountable for their alleged roles in this tragic incident.
