Driver Log Books and Other Regulations in Texas
Because passenger vehicles and their occupants are at a significant disadvantage in accidents with larger semitrailer trucks and other commercial vehicles, there are federal and state regulations designed to keep other motorists safe. These regulations and rules of the road are not always followed, however, and violations often lead to serious accidents. Unfortunately, these accidents can have catastrophic and fatal results for other drivers.
If you or a member of your family has been harmed or killed in a Texas truck accident, it is important to have a strong advocate on your side. At the Edwards Law Firm, in Corpus Christi, we have handled hundreds of truck accident cases for individuals and their families who have been hurt as the result of truck driver negligence. Our lawyers are able to stand up to trucking companies and their insurance adjusters to pursue the compensation you need from those who are liable.
