Truck Accident Attorney in Houston

Your health and well-being are most important; the first order of business after a traumatic accident is always to move to a safe location. Your next steps should include:

• Calling police/emergency services
• Obtaining information at the scene (names, insurance information, etc.)
• Documenting injuries
• Taking pictures/videos of the scene of the accident

It’s also important not to accept blame for the accident while at the scene. A skilled attorney will handle the liability aspects of your accident and maintain your innocence.

Every accident is unique, and it may be difficult to determine which legal avenue you should take. Our experienced truck accident attorneys can review the facts of your case and lead you in the right direction. Here are a few common truck accident lawsuits:
