Settlement Reached in Texas Commercial Vehicle Lawsuit Where Client Suffered Serious Burn Injuries

The Ammons Law Firm resolved a serious injury case on behalf of a woman who was rear-ended by a commercial vehicle on a Texas highway.

The client had slowed down because traffic ahead of her was coming to a stop. The driver of a large commercial truck did not slow down in time and struck her from behind. The force of the collision caused a fire, and the client suffered severe burn injuries as a result.

She did nothing wrong. She was doing exactly what every driver is supposed to do, paying attention and adjusting her speed for the traffic in front of her. What happened next was entirely the fault of the other driver.

Commercial vehicles carry a different level of responsibility than personal cars. The companies that put trucks and work vehicles on the road are supposed to train their drivers, supervise how those vehicles are used, and make sure the people behind the wheel are fit to drive them safely around the rest of us. When that does not happen, it is the people sharing the road who end up paying for it.

The injuries the client suffered that day changed her life, and she has had to live with the physical and emotional toll of that crash ever since. Ammons Law pursued claims against the driver and the company responsible for the vehicle he was operating, and secured a settlement so the client could begin to move forward.

If you or someone you love has been hurt in a crash involving a commercial truck or work vehicle, Ammons Law knows how to hold the responsible parties accountable. Learn more from a Houston truck accident attorney about how the firm handles these cases.
