Houston 18 Wheeler Accidents
Houston 18-Wheeler accidents nearly always involve severe injuries or wrongful death. The impact on individuals and families is devastating and deserves the exceptional legal representation.
What To Do if You Have Been in an Accident
If you have been involved in an auto accident, make sure to get the other driver’s insurance information and take pictures of the damage to your vehicle and injuries.
If you have been injured at all, seek emergency medical attention immediately and follow up with your medical provider the next day. Sometimes because of the adrenaline and excitement of an accident, you may not feel like you have been injured right away, but you may feel certain injuries the following days. Continue to follow up with your medical provider as required by going to the appointments as scheduled and taking medication as directed. Also, make sure to get a work restriction letter from your doctor if you are unable to work due to your injuries. Remember to contact an attorney as soon as possible and DO NOT give a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster without first speaking with your attorney. The attorneys at the Kahn Law Firm are experienced in all types of auto accidents, motorcycle accidents and 18 wheeler accidents. Contact us if you have any questions at 713-226-9900.

Truck accidents are especially challenging because of the laws and regulations involved – especially with interstate trucking. In addition, the injuries are likely to be serious. The Kahn Law Firm will expediently investigate the details and present a compelling case on behalf of the injured person or the family of the wrongful death victim.
The truck accident: Was driver fatigue or speeding or any traffic violation involved? Was the tractor-trailer truck properly loaded? Was load shift or weight shift involved? Was the big rig overweight? Was the accident caused by driver error? Was there a brake failure or other mechanical failure? Were proper training and safety policies followed? Were trucking regulations followed? Was an unlicensed driver behind the wheel?
The accident injuries: How serious were the injuries? Does the client have appropriate medical care? Will future medical care be required? In cases of catastrophic injuries, what are future attendant care, medical, and financial needs? In a wrongful death case, what is the appropriate and necessary compensation to the family?
If you or a loved one has been the victim of an automobile accident or an accident with an 18-wheeler, The Kahn Law Firm auto accident attorneys in Houston can help.
