The Ammons Law Firm has filed a lawsuit against 3B Dozer Service, LLC and other parties after a serious tractor-trailer collision allegedly caused burn injuries to a Texas motorist. The crash occurred on State Highway 6 in Falls County, Texas, and involved a 2016 Freightliner semi-truck reportedly owned and operated by 3B Dozer Service.

According to the complaint, the truck driver attempted to merge onto Highway 6 in an unsafe manner, causing a multi-vehicle collision. One of the vehicles allegedly caught fire, resulting in second-degree burns to the plaintiff’s feet and ankles. The injuries reportedly affected 10 to 19 percent of the plaintiff’s body surface and required emergency treatment.

The lawsuit alleges that the driver failed to maintain a proper lookout, did not merge safely, and failed to yield the right of way as required under Texas Transportation Code Section 545.061. Claims are brought against 3B Dozer Service under the legal doctrine of respondeat superior, asserting the driver was operating within the scope of employment at the time of the crash.

Additional allegations of direct negligence are made against the company, including failure to properly train, supervise, and monitor the driver’s compliance with safety protocols. The complaint also includes claims of gross negligence, stating that the company acted with conscious indifference to the safety of others by allowing unsafe driving behavior to continue unchecked.

The plaintiff is seeking compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, physical impairment, mental anguish, and diminished earning capacity. Exemplary damages are also being sought where allowed by law.
