Austin Truck Accident Lawyer

Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of injury and death in the United States. Among these tragic accidents, those involving large commercial trucks are some of the most deadly. 18-wheelers, semis, and tractor-trailers are both powerful and unwieldy, causing over 450,000 accidents every year in the United States; in Texas, truck accidents are responsible for hundreds of deaths each year.

At Melton & Kumler, LLP, we believe that many truck accidents are preventable tragedies. If you or someone you love has been seriously injured by a careless truck driver or trucking company, we can help. Contact our Austin truck accident lawyers at 800.681.6932 for legal assistance and advice.

Our Areas of Practice

Though some truck accidents are due to factors outside anyone's control, many are directly caused by the negligent conduct of one or more parties involved. Austin truck crash attorneys Melton & Kumler, LLP can help you with trucking collisions caused by:

• Truck Driver Error
• Truck Defects and Malfunctions
• Trucking Company Negligence
• Violation of Trucking Laws

Getting the Answers You Deserve

Truck drivers operate their vehicles under different conditions than most other drivers. Not only are truckers expected to drive for hours on end, but they are also under pressure from their employers to complete their deliveries quickly. Some trucking companies pressure – or even force – drivers to ignore safety regulations and drive while tired, drowsy, or otherwise impaired.

However, proving that such negligence was a cause of your accident is difficult. Large trucking companies are skilled at covering their tracks and hiding their poor business practices. Austin truck accident attorneys Melton & Kumler, LLP put their background in the field of employment law to work in handling truck accident cases. Because of our experience representing truck drivers in employment disputes, we know how to get to the bottom of complex trucking accident litigation – how to get crucial evidence from trucking companies during discovery and use that evidence to build your claim.

At Melton & Kumler, LLP, we put our full attention and resources into every case we handle. For this reason, we only handle a limited number of truck accident cases each year. We don't spread ourselves thinly over dozens of cases – we take our cases and our clients seriously.
