I delivered a load of hay and a couple of bales got pushed down on top of me. They were very patient with me, worked with me, they filled me in on details, they stayed in communication, and they let me know what was going on. The atmosphere of the people was very friendly, very likeable, VERY LIKEABLE, and no pressure. Mike was exquisitely very, very nice, very friendly. They looked out for my interests.

Were You Hurt in a Commercial Vehicle Accident? Our Dallas Attorneys Can Fight For You
Accidents involving commercial vehicles (like 18 wheelers, dump trucks, delivery trucks, etc.) can be especially damaging to the victim and the victim’s property. If you’ve been involved in a commercial vehicle accident, you likely wish to seek legal restitution. Unfortunately, the legal obstacles you must face in a case like this can be overwhelming.
The Facts You Need to Know:
Fact: Commercial vehicles are covered by commercial insurance policies which are generally 50 times more valuable than policies covering personal vehicles. Any time this much money is up in the air, companies will do whatever they can to avoid paying it.
Fact: Commercial insurance carriers employ the most ruthless insurance adjusters around. These people have years of experience and a proven track record in denying claims just like yours. Their job is to pin the blame for your accident on you. And they’re not alone…
Fact: Before the commercial vehicle driver has even left the scene of the accident, his team of defense attorneys and accident recreation experts are going to be there. Within minutes of your accident, they are dispatched to find any sort of evidence that can be used to build a case against you. This can include physical evidence from the crash, witness testimony, or even your own statement. This is a team of professionals who work every day to deny claims just like yours.
Fact: A commercial vehicle driver’s career is on the line. If you win a case against the driver, it will likely end his or her career. This puts the driver in a position where he or she might be tempted to lie in order to protect his or her job, even if you’re the one who pays the price.
Fact: Six months after your accident, transportation companies can destroy many of the records of your case. These records may be invaluable in protecting your rights, so you need a professional to secure them as quickly as possible. The lawyers at Grossman Law Offices are familiar with these types of regulations and we can make sure that the necessary evidence is quickly secured.

An airline pilot suffered a shoulder injury resulting in surgery when he was sideswiped by an 18-wheeler. The case was resolved through litigation, as establishing liability was a contentious matter.

A delivery driver hired our firm to pursue a negligent trucking company following a collision with insecure cargo. Our client was driving his work vehicle when numerous large metal pipes fell from the back of a flatbed trailer onto the roadway. Our client took evasive action but was unable to avoid the debris, which resulted in a fairly severe accident. As a result, our client sustained lower back injuries including two herniated discs which required surgery to correct. The defendants conceded liability early on but would not make a reasonable settlement offer. As such, suit was filed and the case was ultimately successfully resolved through litigation.
