San Antonio highways and city streets have become a crossroad for commerce in Texas; crowded by huge 18-wheelers, tractor trailers and numerous other commercial vehicles our city is constantly confronted with the dangers these massive trucks present. Aggressive drivers in monstrous trucks, racing to their next destination is a recipe for disaster. If you or a loved one has recently been hit by a trucker, you are in need of an experienced San Antonio truck accident lawyer. At Carabin Shaw we will fight to ensure that you obtain the compensation you deserve for what may have been a devastating truck collision.
Injuries Suffered at the Expense of an 18-WheelerSemi-trucks average around 97,000 pounds, give or take a few pounds; your passenger car might weigh in at 4,000 pounds, that’s an astounding comparison. That is equal to twenty four times the size of your vehicle. If you’ve been a victim of a collision with an 18 wheeler, our San Antonio attorneys know that the resulting injuries and suffering you are most likely experiencing are devastating to you, emotionally, psychologically, and physically.
Some of the injuries you have suffered might be obvious, such as a spinal cord injury resulting in paralysis; head injury with mental impairment, or a broken bone or torn ligaments. Some of your injuries may not be quite so obvious; injuries such as emotional trauma, anxiety attacks, grief, or fear. Nevertheless, our attorneys with Carabin Shaw know the mental trauma you are experiencing is just as real as the physical trauma and can be just as incapacitating as your physical injuries. Pain and suffering is different for each victim, and our San Antonio 18-wheeler accident lawyer understands these facts and knows how to best represent you and present your claim for compensation.
