When a commercial carrier cuts corners, Houston families pay the price. We make them accountable.
An 18-wheeler can weigh up to 80,000 pounds fully loaded. When these massive vehicles collide with passenger cars, the results are devastating: catastrophic injuries, permanent disabilities, and far too often, death.
Trucking accident cases are fundamentally different from car accident cases. Multiple parties may share liability: the driver, the trucking company, the maintenance provider, the cargo loader, and the manufacturer. Each has their own insurance company and legal team ready to deflect blame.
At Mehdipour & Mehdipour, we know how to untangle the web of corporate liability. We immediately issue preservation letters to prevent the destruction of electronic logging device data, black box information, and driver qualification files. Our team works with accident reconstruction experts who understand the physics of commercial vehicle collisions.
We dispatch investigators to the scene, issue spoliation letters to preserve ELD data and black box records, and connect you with trauma specialists.
We subpoena driver logs, maintenance records, and company safety history. Our accident reconstruction experts analyze every factor from brake failure to load distribution.
Armed with irrefutable evidence, we build a demand that accounts for the full scope of catastrophic injuries, including lifetime care costs and lost earning capacity.
Trucking companies respect firms that go to trial. Our courtroom experience is the leverage that drives maximum settlements.
Liability can extend to the truck driver, the trucking company, maintenance contractors, cargo loaders, and even vehicle manufacturers. We investigate all responsible parties to maximize your recovery.
Electronic logging device (ELD) data, black box information, driver qualification files, maintenance records, cargo manifests, and post-accident drug test results. This evidence can be destroyed quickly without a preservation letter.
Truck accident cases typically involve severe injuries and substantial damages. Compensation can include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and in wrongful death cases, loss of companionship.
Immediately. Trucking companies dispatch rapid response teams to accident scenes within hours. You need an attorney preserving evidence and protecting your interests just as fast.
