San Antonio Truck Accident Attorneys

South Texas Car Crash Lawyers

Every year, there are more and more large commercial trucks (semi trucks, big rigs, 18 wheelers, etc.) sharing the road with the much smaller, personal vehicles the rest of us drive. Laredo is home to the largest inland truck port in the United States, and Interstate 35 carries a large amount of truck traffic through Texas. As a result, commercial truck accidents are also on the rise. And the number one cause of these accidents, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, is driver error.

Unfortunately, if you or your family has been harmed by a truck driver's negligence, the trucking company and their insurer are not just going to hand over fair compensation. In fact, they and their investigators and lawyers will start work immediately to limit their liability at your personal expense.

Trucking companies and their insurers are well-organized and will fight aggressively to avoid paying you and your family the money you deserve. At the Law Offices of Tinsman & Sciano, we are well-organized too and can match their aggression by utilizing more than 120 years of combined trial experience.

Don't Wait To Talk to an Attorney

Within the first week after a truck accident, two things should happen:

First, important physical evidence at the accident scene must be gathered, documented and preserved.
Second, witnesses must be identified, located and interviewed.

If these two things don't happen, the case could be lost before it ever begins. And with that in mind, the need to take action and to speak with an attorney as soon as possible is clear.

Our firm knows how to gather evidence against truckers and large trucking companies and how to develop a powerful case for money damages. We have the skill to secure substantial settlements where possible and to win at trial when necessary. Often as part of a settlement, we will demand that the trucking companies institute new safety policies, in order to prevent future accidents.

If you and your family have been harmed as the result of a tractor-trailer wreck — put our nearly 40 years of experience as a firm in your corner today. Attorney Daniel Sciano regularly lectures about truck accidents to other attorneys at the Advanced Personal Injury Course and Advanced Civil Trial Course. Additionally, he speaks to truck drivers about safety regulations.
