BEAUMONT BLOCKED INTERSECTION ATTORNEYS

We all rely on large trucks and tractor-trailers to transport goods. However, drivers of these vehicles must operate them safely. Failure to do so may result in significant property damage as well as serious bodily injury and possibly even death. Due to the enormous size of commercial trucks, truck drivers, especially inexperienced or improperly trained drivers, often have difficulty negotiating turns at intersections.

A blocked intersection accident occurs when a large truck attempts to turn right or left and either blocks lanes or uses multiple lanes of traffic while negotiating the turn and one or more passenger trucks or cars get squeezed between the large truck and the edge of the road, median, building or even another vehicle.

If you or a loved one sustained injuries due to a blocked intersection accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain, suffering, and damages. Call Portner Bond, PLLC at (409) 838-4444 for a free consultation with one of our experienced truck accident attorneys.

DO I NEED A BLOCKED INTERSECTION ACCIDENT LAWYER?

If you or a loved one sustained injuries, you need a blocked intersection accident lawyer to get the compensation you deserve. You should not attempt to handle your claim alone. The insurance companies that represent the trucking company and the truck driver do not represent you. The same holds true for the insurance companies of any other party involved. The insurance company representatives may act as if they care about you and the pain and suffering which you are experiencing because of the accident, but their job is to minimize the amount the insurance company ultimately pays you.

Contact a blocked intersection accident lawyer as soon as possible so the lawyer can conduct a detailed investigation. This investigation will not only determine what happened but help to identify all of the responsible parties.

TYPES OF BLOCKED INTERSECTION CASES WE HANDLE

Driver negligence may cause blocked intersection accidents. Examples of such negligence include:

Distracted driving
Inadequate or improper training
Failure to check blind spots
Failure to properly signal
Driving while intoxicated or under the influence of a controlled or illegal substance
Mechanical Issues with the vehicle
Driver fatigue
Driver’s lack of familiarity with the roadway
Reckless driving

The responsibility for the accident may lie with other parties as well. A thorough investigation of the crash by a blocked intersection accident lawyer will determine the fault of all the parties to the accident.

Injuries range from minor to catastrophic and may include the following:

Traumatic brain injury
Paralysis
Disfigurement
Fractures
Lacerations
Muscle strains
Paralysis
Neck Injuries
Internal Organ Injuries
Spinal Cord Injuries
Injuries from Burns
Death

Do not speak to any insurance company representative until you talk to a truck accident lawyer. An experienced truck accident lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation and determine the identity of all parties responsible for the accident.

Even if you believe that you were partially responsible for the accident, you still may be entitled to compensation. Texas law entitles you to compensation for your injuries as long as you were not more than 50 percent responsible for the accident, although the law reduces your compensation in proportion to your fault for causing the accident. If a court determines that you were 25 percent at fault for the accident, then you would only be entitled to 75 percent of the amount that the court ultimately awards to you as compensation for your injuries.
