Truck Accident Lawyers File Lawsuit Against H.L. Chapman Pipeline Construction, Mears Group, and Quanta Services After 18-Wheeler Accident

The Ammons Law Firm has taken legal action against H.L. Chapman Pipeline Construction, Inc., Mears Group, Inc., and Quanta Services, Inc. in connection with a tragic tractor-trailer accident. This case stems from a collision that occurred on US Highway 281 in Blanco County, Texas, resulting in serious injuries to multiple victims.

According to the lawsuit, a truck tractor pulling a flatbed trailer owned by H.L. Chapman Pipeline Construction was traveling northbound on Highway 281 when it allegedly crossed over into the southbound lane of traffic. The tractor-trailer then crashed into a passenger vehicle traveling southbound, causing life-changing injuries to its occupants.

The legal action claims that the driver of the tractor-trailer failed to use ordinary care in several ways. These alleged failures include not staying in the proper lane of traffic, not keeping a proper lookout, potentially being distracted by using a mobile phone while driving, exceeding the speed limit, and not applying brakes in time to prevent leaving the northbound lane.

The lawsuit also invokes the doctrine of respondeat superior, asserting that H.L. Chapman Pipeline Construction, Mears Group, and Quanta Services are vicariously liable for the driver’s actions. This legal principle holds employers responsible for the negligent acts of their employees when those acts occur within the scope of employment.

Furthermore, the legal action includes claims of negligence per se, arguing that the driver violated several sections of the Texas Transportation Code. These alleged violations include failing to drive on the right half of the roadway, not staying within a single lane, and driving on the left side of the center stripe in a no-passing zone.

The injuries sustained by the victims are reportedly severe and wide-ranging. They include multiple fractures, traumatic brain injury, internal injuries, and permanent disfigurement. The lawsuit seeks compensation for physical pain, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, and medical expenses, both past and future.
