Truck Accident Lawyers File Lawsuit Against National Trucking in Serious Truck Accident Case

The Ammons Law Firm has recently filed a lawsuit against National Trucking and other defendants following a devastating truck accident in El Paso County, Texas. The incident occurred when a commercial tractor-trailer crashed into the back of a passenger vehicle stopped at a red light, causing severe injuries to the driver of the car.

According to the lawsuit, the driver of the National Trucking vehicle was operating a 1998 International commercial truck when the incident took place. The Ammons Law Firm alleges that National Trucking failed to properly maintain the truck’s brakes, which were reportedly not road-legal at the time of the accident. The truck driver admits that the brakes on the vehicle failed, leading to the collision.

The lawsuit claims that National Trucking did not adequately train its driver on how to inspect for and identify brake problems, nor did they properly instruct the driver on how to respond safely in the event of an air brake failure. The Ammons Law Firm argues that a reasonable and prudent company in National Trucking’s position would have inspected for and corrected the dangerous brake conditions before allowing the vehicle on the road.

In addition to claims of negligence against the truck driver, the lawsuit alleges that National Trucking is vicariously liable for the actions of its employee under the doctrine of respondeat superior. The Ammons Law Firm is also pursuing claims of direct negligence against National Trucking, including negligent hiring, supervision, training, and retention of the driver.

The lawsuit further alleges that National Trucking’s actions constitute gross negligence, claiming that the company acted with flagrant disregard for the rights of others and with actual awareness that their acts and omissions would likely result in serious injury or property damage. As a result, the Ammons Law Firm is seeking exemplary damages against National Trucking to deter future willful and malicious conduct.

The victim in this case allegedly suffered substantial injuries, including physical pain, mental anguish, physical impairment, and disfigurement. The lawsuit seeks compensation for these damages, as well as past and future medical expenses, loss of earning capacity, and other related costs.
