Experience Matters in a Dallas Truck Accident Case -- Make Sure You Choose the Right Attorney

Truck accident cases are not simplistic cases that can be handled by just any law firm. By default, plaintiffs in truck accident cases are met with considerable opposition from trucking companies and their lawyers that can only be adequately matched by an attorney who has first-hand experience winning such cases. While there are many Dallas firms who are all too willing to make their services available in your accident case, very few can honestly say that they have relevant experience handling 18-wheeler and other commercial vehicle accident cases. We can.
The experienced Dallas truck accident lawyers of Grossman Law Offices have successfully won hundreds of truck accident cases in the past 20 years of practicing law. Our experience in the court room and understanding of Dallas' juries separate our attorneys from the typical personal injury firm, and such vital knowledge and skills are precisely what 18 wheeler accident victims need in order to make the most of these rather complex legal matters.
Commercial vehicles come in many forms. We have successfully litigated personal injury and/or wrongful death claims against rock haulers, dump trucks, all manner of construction vehicles, moving vans, buses, tankers, and numerous other types and configurations of commercial vehicles. Despite the variety of commercial vehicles, the vehicles involved in these accidents generally share common traits:
- They are generally larger and can inflict more harm than passenger cars.
- They are governed by different laws than are passenger vehicles.
- Lastly, and most importantly, they are owned by valuable corporate entities that will mount an aggressive defense aimed at denying plaintiffs fair compensation.
We believe in fighting fire with fire. In order for your commercial vehicle accident case to have the best chance of success, you must select a law firm that has the experience, resources, knowledge, and reputation to beat the opposition at trial or to force them into a fair settlement that they will otherwise exert great expense and effort in order to avoid paying.
When you choose Grossman Law Offices to represent you in your truck accident cases, you gain the advantage of two decades of experience from attorneys who have won hundreds of truck accident cases (and thousands of successful personal injury cases altogether).

How Truck Accident Cases Work
Since trucking companies invest considerable resources in defending themselves (read: since they go out of their way to avoid responsibility), having legal representation of your own is a necessity. Your case will be handled by our firm from start to finish with considerable effort expended by our staff to make the process as easy for you as possible. Our goal is to make sure that all you have to do is focus on recovering from your injuries while we do the rest. Here's how the process works:
Phase 1. You will obtain medical attention and hire an attorney. Your attorney will take the necessary steps to build a strong foundation for your case. Waiting for a police report is 100% the wrong way to handle a truck accident case. Your attorney must conduct an independent investigation.
- You
- Choose an attorney who can prove that they have experience winning truck accident cases.
- Seek medical attention and follow your doctor's advice.
- Your Attorney
- The defendant trucking company is put on notice and a spoliation of evidence letter is sent to the defendant and their legal counsel, post haste.
- Your attorney will conduct an investigation and determine how the accident occurred, who is to blame, and what legal recourse you have against the responsible parties.
- As it relates to truck accidents, most often the defendants will attempt to deny liability and evidence found in the 18 wheeler itself will help you prove your version of events. Therefore, it is often necessary for your attorney to obtain a subpoena such that the engine control module (ECM) data that is recorded by the truck can be downloaded and used as evidence. Such data will prove how fast the truck was traveling, what steering inputs were made, whether or not the truck driver used the brakes, etc.
- A thorough background check is performed on the truck driver and the trucking company, including a SAFER Company Snapshot and a DOT report.
- All evidence necessary to win your case is preserved so that it can be used in court.
- Additionally, your attorney will ensure that you get the medical attention that you need and that your injuries are properly diagnosed and chronicled.
Phase 2. Demand Phase. Your attorney will calculate the total of your damages and submit a demand to the defendant.
- You
- Communicate with your attorney such that all of your damages are properly accounted for.
- Your Attorney
- To calculate your damages, your attorney will add up all or your medical bills, illustrate and quantify disfigurement and/ or impairment, source wage and salary documents in order to show the impact that the injury has taken on your ability to earn a living, account for pain and suffering, etc. In cases involving significant injuries, a life care planner and/ or medical experts are consulted to provide a report which will detail the long-term effect of the accident.
- Your attorney will calculate the sum total of your damages. Once your damages are quantified, your attorney will submit a demand letter to the defendant which will quote an amount which the defendant must pay to you in order to settle the case out of court.
- The demand letter, medical records, photographs, expert reports, video statements, etc. are combined into a demand packet. Additionally, the demand packet will feature a lengthy introductory letter prepared by your attorney whereby all relevant codified laws and case law are presented in a concise fashion such that the legal ramifications for the defendant are clearly defined. Additionally, we will make mention of past successes in the court room and provide the defendant with a detailed analysis of what they can expect if they do not accept the offer to settle your case. In short, we clearly spell out to the defendant in no uncertain terms why they should settle your case rather than face us in the courtroom.
Phase 3. Settlement or Litigation. If the demand is met then the defendant will settle the case with you and the matter is resolved. If the defendants do not accept the offer to settle (which may occur for a variety of reasons), a lawsuit is filed against the trucking company and litigation commences. Litigation works thusly: The plaintiff files a lawsuit, both sides use the authority of the court to request additional evidence (under the rules of civil procedure) from the other side which they feel will help their arguments, various motions are filed in order to persuade the judge to not allow certain evidence into court, and eventually both sides have an adequate understanding of what arguments a jury will be allowed to hear (since not all evidence can be used for a variety of reasons). The case is then reviewed by a third party mediator who attempts to broker a settlement between the two parties based on the strength of their arguments. In most serious or catastrophic injury cases (and in practically all wrongful death truck accident cases), a lawsuit is filed earlier in the process since the defendant, faced with the prospect of having to pay millions of dollars in compensation, will refuse to entertain any settlement opportunities.
- You
- You will likely be called to testify in a deposition
- You may need to furnish certain documents and information
- If the case is not resolved before trial, you will need to appear in court
- Your Attorney
- Your attorney will draft dozens of documents and file numerous motions.
- He will also conduct numerous depositions and make a variety of appearance before the judge on your behalf for oral arguments and to get rulings on the admissibility of various types of evidence.
- Your attorney will strategize, research case law, and strategize
- Your attorney will be your spoken advocate in mediation and in trial. He will prepare and present evidence to the jury or mediator. He will cross examine all witnesses, and he will explain your position to the court. He will spend hundreds of hours on your case throughout litigation, and he will do so without you ever paying him a single dime out of pocket. Your attorney will assume all financial risk in your case because he believes in your case and in his abilities to win.
Now that you know how a case works, the following information will cover the ins and outs of truck accidents such that you can gain an adequate understanding of the many elements of an 18-wheeler accident case.

- Common Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents
- Prompt Investigation is Essential
- Your Burden of Proof
- Trucking Company Insurance Policies
- The Truck Driver's Testimony Against You
Overcoming any accident can be challenging, but few wrecks cause the catastrophic effects of 18-wheeler accidents. Commercial trucks can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds, so serious damage occurs when they get into wrecks. Since truck drivers are paid by the hour, they often work long hours without breaks, making lapses in concentration and consciousness common, as well as, the accompanying accidents, injuries, property damage and even fatalities.
For 20 years, the Dallas truck accident lawyers at Grossman Law Offices have been handling personal injury litigation involving 18-wheelers, and we know that victims often have a great deal of medical and legal questions they want answered after they’ve been injured or even had a loved one killed as a result of a truck accident. Most importantly, you need to be evaluated by a medical professional after the accident. You need not only treatment for your injuries but documentation of them, as well. If you lack medical insurance or are under-insured, then we can help you find a doctor who will take your financial situation into consideration and arrange a payment option you can afford.
Once your injuries have been treated, you must begin to consider your legal options for securing compensation for the harm done to you. Negligent parties are not required by law to pay for your injuries willingly, but the victim, also known as the plaintiff, carries the burden of proving that you deserve compensation. Only an experienced Dallas truck accident lawyer gives you the best chance of securing the compensation you deserve. Our attorneys want to inform you of your legal options, so you can do what is best for your family. First, we want to explain the various elements of 18-wheeler accident law:
- The reason for filing suit.
- Common negligent parties that can cause 18-wheeler accidents.
- The critical importance of a quick and diligent investigation.
- Obstacles that often ruin the claims of people who attempt to handle their own accident cases.

The Reasons to File an 18-Wheeler Accident Injury Lawsuit
Our lawyers are aware of the catastrophic emotional and physical harm caused by truck accidents. Through our extensive experience, we’ve learned that many truck accident victims are reluctant to take legal action because they find placing a price tag on their injuries off-putting and doing so forces them to relive the accident. Despite how unpleasant filing a claim can be, as we will examine later on this article, fast action is vitally important to the success of your claim, so you must act as soon as possible after the accident.
Utilizing a lawsuit to resolve the harm done by a truck accident serves two important purposes: permitting the injured party to recover from financial and emotional harm caused by the wreck and punishing those whose negligence caused the accident. While no amount of money can remove the damages incurred by your accident or clear the traumatic memory from your mind, you have still sustained sizable financial losses from which you must recover. The only way to get your family back on track from such a setback is to obtain compensation from the liable party or parties. You may likely have missed work due to your injuries, so paying for medical bills to fix your injuries and repair bills to repair your car can be can be impossible unless you sue the party or parties who caused your injuries.
Moreover, an 18-wheeler accident lawsuit helps to reduce further such negligent actions by punishing those who caused the accident. People who have lost enormous amounts of money in truck accident lawsuits will seldom do the same thing again. If you want someone to pay attention -- attack the wallet.
Common Negligent Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents

In order to know with whom to file suit, you must first identify how the accident occurred and who caused the wreck. Many different people have their hands in the transport of goods via a truck, so in many truck accident cases, more than one party may have committed some sort of negligence that caused or contributed to the cause of the 18-wheeler accident. An experienced Dallas truck accident lawyer can use the lessons learned over years of litigating truck accident claims to correctly determine the cause of your accident and all of the parties who were responsible. Any number of negligent parties could have caused any given truck accident: the trucker, the trucking company, manufacturers of the truck or trailer, the company that planned the truck’s route, the company that loaded the truck, or other third parties. For example:
- Truckers
Truck drivers log long hours hauling up and down the highway, and in most truck accident cases, they are liable in whole or in part injuries. Truck drivers cause accidents with intentional acts of negligence such: driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, running stop signs, or erratic swerving. In other cases, 18-wheeler accidents occur as a result of driver fatigue. Drivers are required by federal law to make mandatory rest breaks, but many truckers ignore those safety guidelines in order to met company mandated time constraints. Studies have shown that the chances of a trucker getting into a wreck are doubled after eight consecutive hours behind the wheel, and 20 percent of truck drivers admit to falling asleep at the wheel at least once in the month prior to being surveyed. Whether on purpose or an accident, if a trucker’s negligence resulted in an accident that injured you, then you can file a lawsuit against him or her.
- Trucking Companies
Texas recognizes a legal concept called respondeat superior that holds employers responsible for the actions or inaction of their employees. If the truck driver’s negligence caused your accident; therefore, the trucking company is also liable. That means, if the trucker had a history of DUI convictions, and causes an accident while intoxicated, then the trucking company is certainly liable for any injuries caused by the accident.
In addition, the trucking company does not actually have to do anything negligent itself to be held responsible for the negligent actions of its truckers. In other words, as long as the trucker is negligent, a lawsuit can be brought to seek damages from the trucking company. In most cases, the trucking company is a more desirable defendant from which to pursue damages because it has access to much greater resources than its truckers.
- Manufacturers
Trucks and trailers are comprised of thousands of parts that are all interlinked to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle. If any of these components fail to perform their intended purpose while the truck is in operation, then an accident can result. If this malfunction was caused by a design defect or manufacturing error and a wreck results, then anyone injured in the accident has the right to seek compensation from the manufacturer.
- The Company that Planned the Route
Not all roads and neighborhoods are zoned for trucking, and many bridges may have weight restrictions to drive on them and height constraints to pass underneath them. In order to ensure safety, busy trucking companies often depend upon on contracting out the planning of safe routes to other companies. If this planning company plots a course that proves unsuitable and dangerous for 18-wheelers, then a lawsuit can be filed against that party.
- The Company that Loaded the Cargo
In some instances, the company that owned the cargo loads it into the truck, and sometimes another company does the job. If the company that loaded the cargo did so improperly, this can cause a wreck resulting in injuries for which this company is liable. Cargo in 18-wheelers is limited to 80,000 pounds, but many companies attempt to transport more goods at a lower cost by ignoring this rule. There is a reason for weight limits because an overloaded truck is more likely to topple and can cause far greater damage when it has an accident.
When the company that loads the cargo fails to secure it properly, the cargo can come loose during transport, causing a load shift that topples the trailer and forces an accident with other cars. Where flatbed trucks are concerned, improperly loaded cargo can fall into the road and cause tremendous havoc to the cars of unsuspecting drivers who are following behind the truck.
- Other Drivers
Just because a truck was involved in an accident doesn’t mean the truck or its driver was the source of the wreck. In some instances, other drivers ignore their duty to provide for the safety of others on the road, and an accident with an 18-wheeler results, causing damage and injuries to still more drivers on the road. In that event, the victims can pursue damages from this third party.
Any of these parties or a combination of several of them could have totally or partially caused the truck accident that injured you. You need the help of an experienced Dallas truck accident lawyer who can identify the cause and all of the possible defendants, so that you can secure the compensation you deserve from all the parties who injured you with their negligence.
Prompt Investigation is Essential
To gather the necessary evidence to identify all of the responsible parties and prove your case after you’ve been injured in an 18-wheeler accident, a timely and thorough investigation must be conducted. Since so many different parties could have negligently contributed to the source of the accident that injured you, a diligent investigation is determine all of the liable parties and their relative degree of negligence. You’re going to need proof to sway the jury in your favor, and evidence begins to disappear quickly after any wreck. You need to put your lawyer on the trail of evidence as fast as possible. For every day you hesitate to find a lawyer with whom you are comfortable, you are doing irreparable damage to your case because the proof you need is disappearing -- witnesses disappear or forget what they saw, videos get erased, and the accident scene evolves physically.
Our Dallas truck accident lawyers at Grossman Law Offices have spent 20 years mastering the art of investigating accident cases. As soon as we’re hired we race to the accident scene at no expense to our clients, so we can look for any evidence that proves our client’s case. We do whatever we can to get to the bottom of the truth -- sequestering and examining all the vehicles involved, taking photographs, searching for video evidence, reviewing police records, measuring the distance between skid marks and points of impact, conducting forensic tests, finding and interviewing witnesses and cataloging any evidence we find so can be used later in court.
In all likelihood, you’ve already fallen behind the defense’s investigative efforts. In most cases, the trucking or insurance company sends their investigators to the scene of the accident as soon as the trucker reports it. The defense investigators have no concern with identifying how the accident really happened; they just want to gather evidence that proves your injuries were a result of your own negligence. If you don’t have your attorneys on the scene conducting their own investigation, you have no way of knowing whether or not the defense tampered with the evidence or conducted its investigation honestly. If they can find evidence to establish your negligence, then they can deny your insurance claim if they can prove you were totally responsible or lessen the damages if owed if they can establish your contributory negligence.
One case we recently handled in Dallas demonstrates the necessity for a fast and thorough investigation. In this case, our firm was hired by the driver of a passenger car after he got into an accident at night with an 18-wheeler. The trucking company claimed that our client did not have any headlights installed in his car when the accident occurred. By the time we were brought on the case, our client’s totaled car had been removed from the accident scene and taken to a nearby salvage yard. When our attorneys located the car at the junkyard, they found that it was in fact missing headlights. Concerned for our client’s ability to secure compensation, our investigators spotted a surveillance camera in the salvage yard, so they secured a copy of the footage. This particular surveillance system was designed to tape over its own memory every 48 hours, and we managed to find the footage just before it was erased. The video showed a representative of the trucking company illegally removing and absconding with our client’s headlights. Later when the trucking company’s defense team tried to claim at trial that our client’s car did not have any headlights installed, we had the concrete evidence to reveal their deception and secure compensation for our client. If our client had made the mistake of hesitating any longer to hire us, the video would have been lost, the chances of obtaining just restitution would have been gone, and the trucking company would have succeeded with its felonious evidence tampering.
Our Dallas attorneys regularly encounter lies and deception in truck accident cases, so you need to hire a lawyer so your attorney can begin a timely and diligent investigation as soon as possible. In some cases, our investigators can still find the requisite proof months after an accident has happened, but the sooner we begin investigating, the better chance we have of finding the proof necessary to secure the compensation you deserve. Do not allow any further delay before consulting with a Dallas truck accident lawyer.
Common Obstacles that Plaintiffs Must Overcome

Just because you have filed an insurance claim following a standard car accident doesn’t mean you are ready to handle your 18-wheeler accident lawsuit by yourself. Trucking insurance policies can be worth 50 times the value of a typical automotive insurance policy. Due to the huge size of commercial trucking insurance policies, litigation to settle truck accidents is far more intricate than a standard passenger car case. Plaintiffs who attempt to save money on lawyer’s fees by handling their own case usually end up costing themselves more than they saved with diminished or denied compensation. People with no legal experience and lawyers fresh out of law school are often tripped up when they attempt to file lawsuits following truck accidents because of several common obstacles: establishing the burden of proof, the size of the insurance policies, self-insured trucking companies and truck drivers who lie.
Burden of Proof
The law does not compel the defendant or defendants to pay you anything after you’ve been injured in a truck accident unless you, the plaintiff, can prove they must do so. In order to receive the fair restitution you deserve for your injuries, you will need to prove your case with evidence. Even when alternative methods of negotiation are employed to settle a claim, evidence must be found to compel the defense or insurance to negotiate in good faith. You will need to establish each of the four necessary components of a trucking accident case:
- Duty
First, you need to prove that the defendant owed you a duty to provide for your safety by behaving reasonably. The law establishes the legal duty of care owed for any specific circumstances and for each party depending upon their relationships. In truck accident cases, meeting this element usually comes fairly easily, since all drivers must operate their motor vehicles in such a way as to reasonably provide for the safety of other drivers, pedestrians and passengers on the road.
- Breach
In order to prove your case, you next must demonstrate that the defendant or defendants breached the responsibility of care that they owed you. This usually happens when the defendant put others at risk either with an action that a reasonable person wouldn’t do or inaction when a reasonable person should be expected to do something. You’ll need to find evidence that proves the defendant ignored his or her legal duty of care by action or inaction in order to prove this breach of duty. Furthermore, you will need a Dallas truck accident lawyer who knows how to use that evidence to convince a jury that the defendant or defendants acted unreasonably.
- Causation
Not only must you be able to establish the defendant or defendants’ breach of a legal duty to you, but also that your injuries were a direct result of this breach of duty. Since various different parties could have caused or contributed to the cause of any trucking accident, it takes convincing evidence to make a jury believe a causal relationship existed between the defendant’s breach of his or her responsibility to you and the subsequent harm done to you. If not, then the defendant can beat your case by blaming someone else for your injuries. Often times, the defendant or defendant’s best chance of shirking blame is to place fault on the head of the victim for causing his or her injuries with his or her own negligence.
- Damages
Once you have established the first three components for a successful truck accident lawsuit, you must then prove the damages that the defendant owes for the injuries you’ve suffered. In legal terms, damages do not refer to your injuries and destroyed property, but instead mean the compensation the defendant owes for causing that harm. The plaintiff can pursue damages for medical expenses, lost salary, pain and suffering, lost earning capacity, damaged property and other losses incurred in the accident.
Unfortunately, you can’t just ask the court for the compensation you deserve and receive it. No, you must present evidence that proves not only your losses but shows how you calculated the monetary value of those damages. More often than not, defendants will contest the amount of compensation the plaintiff has requested and will bring forth their own estimation of the damages owed that likely cheapen the total fiscal amount of harm sustained by the plaintiff. In order to show that the defendant has short-shrifted its’ estimation of damages, you must present infallible evidence to prove your calculations are valid.
How much is my case worth? Since damages like pain and suffering or loss of earning capacity are highly subjective and open to interpretation, calculating damages can be completely baffling for the inexperienced. It’s extremely challenging to put a price tag on pain and suffering or estimate lost earning capacity by figuring out the total value of hypothetical raises and inflation. In a court of law, you only get one chance to calculate the amount of the equitable compensation to which you are entitled. For the past 20 years, our Dallas truck accident lawyers have been determining damages, and we have compiled enough familiarity with similar cases to know how to take into account all of your losses to come to an estimation of compensation that adequately provides the restitution you deserve.
Failing to establish any of these four elements guarantees that you will also fail to obtain the compensation you are seeking for the harm done to you. You must have the help of Dallas 18-wheeler accident lawyer -- especially if you go to trial. Years of experience litigating truck accident cases has taught our lawyers how to devise an effective legal strategy to meet the burdens of proof and sway any jury in your favor.
Enormous Insurance Policies
According to federal regulations, trucking companies must purchase sizable insurance policies to safeguard against the accidents, injuries and fatalities that occur as a result of doing business with big rigs. Thus, many people misconceive that they will acquire compensation quickly and without a hassle. In most cases, that’s simply not true. Since, insurance policies for trucks can be worth 50 times that of standard passenger car coverage, the insurance companies will usually expend 50 times the resources and effort to defend their trucking policies.
With so much at stake, insurance companies reserve their shrewdest and most experienced insurance adjusters to handle settlement negotiations. While you are likely new to handling truck accident claims, these adjusters are at the top of their field and deal with such claims on a day-to-day basis. They are experts in using an accident victim’s initial state of shock and inherent trust of their neighborhood insurance agent against them in order to deny their claim. They feign friendship and try to convince the victim that want to help him or her receive compensation – if only the victim will first answer a few standard questions. They have no interest in helping; they just want to increase company profits by denying your clam. Next, they barrage you with a swarm of questions that just seem to re-word the same queries over and over again in an attempt to get you to slip up and admit your own liability for the accident. If they can get that admission, then they can deny your claim. The less contact you have with the insurance adjuster the better, so hire an experienced Dallas semitrailer accident lawyer and let your legal counsel deal with the insurance adjusters invasive questions. In fact, you should never talk to any representative of the insurance company without a lawyer serving as buffer. If you hire our firm, our lawyers will handle all conversations with the insurance company and protect you from any possibility of admitting your own liability.
In some instances, aggressive adjusters will even try to get accident victims to surrender their right to sue in exchange for a low-ball settlement offer. It’s often a good idea to avoid the stress and uncertainty of jury trial, but you don’t want to settle for an offer than does not adequately compensate you for the harm you’ve sustained. Only a lawyer with a long track record of success can get the insurance company to offer a fair settlement, because they fear losing more money at trial.
The insurance company will also attempt to escape liability for your injuries by employing a skilled defense team that can find legal loopholes and procedural hurdles that will cause inexperienced plaintiffs to ruin their chances of securing compensation. You need an experienced Dallas truck accident lawyer who can match the efforts of the defense specialists. Our attorneys have won millions and millions of dollars from every major insurance company in the country, and we’ve learned how to anticipate everything in their bag of tricks.
Self-Insured Companies can be More Treacherous
Rather than purchase a standard insurance policy, some trucking companies set aside a portion of their total assets in reserve to provide their own insurance for accidents. While the insurance industry is regulated by the federal government, which mandates that all companies be registered, adjusters be licenses and ethical standards be adhered to, self-insured companies are not constrained by any ethical guidelines. Resultingly, self-insured companies have developed the reputation of behaving disreputably and being difficult with which to negotiate. In most cases, in order to negotiate a settlement with a self-insured company, you will need to deal with an officer of the company. Since this officer likely receives part of his or her salary from profit sharing, they have every incentive to deny your claim. This officer will be giving you his or her own money if he or she allows you to receive the equitable restitution to which you are entitled. With their own money on the line, self-insured companies usually put their own interests before those of injured victims and will resort to nefarious acts like bullying witnesses, altering or tampering with evidence and threatening victims.
If a self-insured company has attempted to bully you or push you around, then you can make them stop with the assistance of a Dallas truck accident lawyer. As soon as we’re hired, our attorneys can compel self-insured companies to negotiate in good faith by using legal action.
Truck Drivers Can’t be Trusted
While we’d like to think that people are inherently good and honest, the truck driver who injured you with his or negligence simply has too much incentive to lie. If the truck driver is found to have injured others while driving negligently, then he or she will be receiving a pink slip shortly, if he or she hasn’t been fired already. Moreover, a proven negligent trucker will not be easily find another job with such a glaring black mark on his or her record. Considering the state of the job market and the economy, many otherwise honest and trustworthy truck drivers will resort to lying in order to save their jobs and their ability to provide for their families. To secure the compensation you deserve, you must be able to prove the truck driver is lying.

Our Dallas truck accident lawyers have mastered the ability of investigating to find the critical evidence that reveals the trucker’s lies. We will destroy the trucker’s credibility with all the available evidence to disprove his or her lies.
Just like the way the insurance adjusters try to get victims to admit negligence with a litany of questions, our attorneys will plan a line of questioning for the deposition designed to trick the trucker into admitting his or her own lie. The Ft Worth truck accident lawyers at Grossman Law Offices deposed thousands of witnesses in the last 20 years, and we know how to frame the right questions to reveal the lies of truckers.
