Many drivers take for granted that most motorists follow the rules of the road while driving. Often they may not even realize they are in significant danger sharing the road with so many drivers, especially the drivers of large 18-wheelers. Due to the sheer size of these machines, people can be greatly or catastrophically hurt in big rig accidents.

At Carabin Shaw, we are focused on getting you Justice, our firm helps those people who are victimized and inexperienced catastrophic injuries in crashes with big rigs, semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers and other heavy commercial trucks. Such vehicle operators and trucking companies have a specific extra "duty of care" while they are on the road operating such large commercial vehicles. Carabin Shaw will help you hold them liable and responsible for their bad actions or inaction if they fail at this extra duty.

Were You Injured In A Trucking Accident?

When there is a semi-truck crash, everyone is first concerned about the well-being of those needing medical attention. Depending on the severity of your injuries and the duration of your recovery, medical expenses may pile up, and medical care is not cheap. The Insurance companies might slow role your case. First a truck accident victim and now a victim of the process that insurance companies impose on you.

This, however, is just the start of things. You will also have many things to worry about after the accident. A crash caused by the negligence of a heavy commercial truck driver is always a complicated situation. In the aftermath of such a case, you have responsibilities and legal rights. This is exactly the situation in which your veteran, experienced Midland truck accident lawyers from Carabin Shaw can greatly help you with your truck accident claim. Our legal team will guide you in making your best decisions and ensure that you get the best possible chance to recover every bit of monetary compensation the law allows you and to which you are legally entitled.

Hauling and trucking companies can be very slick and always have a bag of tricks to make it even harder or just plain impossible for you to recover what you legally deserve all by yourself. Carabin Shaw has more than 30 years of experience fighting the good fight against these hauling and trucking companies and the insurance adjusters they employ. Many of these fights are on behalf of the victims of accidents involving trucks to get people like you the fair and full compensation they deserve for any and all of their monetary and lifestyle damages.

  • Mechanical failures
  • Reckless driving and speeding
  • Failure to obey traffic laws and signs
  • Distracted driving

Our Trucking Laws Both the United States and our state of Texas have different laws and regulations both on the state and federal level which regulate all trucking and hauling companies and commercial truck drivers. When any of them violate these laws, it can frequently end in a serious collision, including injuries to otherwise innocent motorists. Any legal entity or person who violates these safety regulations and laws and then causes an injury should always be held financially accountable for their negligent actions. When you need representation for violations of these laws, call one of our Truck Accident Attorneys in Midland and we can help.

The "Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations" (FMCSRs) The Federal agency known as the "Motor Carrier Safety Administration" (FMCSA) both enacts and is in charge of enforcing a variety of different types of regulations that apply to any and all commercial vehicles which operate in interstate commerce in our United States. This can include buses, flatbed trucks, tanker trucks, semi - trucks and hazardous materials (HAZMAT) trucks. These rules and regulations set the expected standard of behavior covering many, if not most, aspects of trucking. You need an attorney who knows and understands these rules and regulations. Our truck accident lawyers in Midland at Carabin Shaw have litigated them for years and know them far better than your average car accident lawyer.

State Traffic Laws in Texas Along with the FMCSRs, all heavy truck operators are always expected to fully follow all of the local and state traffic laws when driving on Texas highways and byways. These are similar to the laws that apply to any other vehicle driver. They prevent violations of traffic signals, improper passing, reckless driving, following too closely and speeding, among many other things. These laws tend to be applied more strictly to heavy commercial trucks. If the truck driver violated one of these, he or she is probably negligent.
