Attorney contributor Anjali Nigam works as a semi-truck accident injury lawyer that frequently represents accident victims throughout Texas. Anjali recently explained some of the legal options available for victims injured in an accident involving a semi-truck and their surviving family members.
"Large truck crashes are different from other vehicle accidents in that injuries can be catastrophic. Multiple parties could be liable for your injuries; that's why they are more complicated. The truck driver is one of many that could be at-fault."
"It is possible that a negligent truck driver, a trucking company, or a truck manufacturer may be liable in a lawsuit. The facts can be reviewed by an experienced accident lawyer, helping victims and their families choose the best course of action."
