Fracture injuries can happen in many different types of accidents, from car crashes and boat collisions to truck wrecks. If you were harmed in this way, you are likely dealing with severe pain and mobility issues that might last months or even years, and medical bills that continue to pile up.
If you have sustained a fracture in a preventable accident, a Houston fracture injury lawyer at Mostyn Law can help you pursue the compensation you deserve. Our catastrophic injury attorneys are committed to protecting your rights every step of the way.
Determining liability in truck accident fracture injury cases requires a legal professional, as multiple parties may share responsibility. Often, the responsible party could include:
The driver is often the first party examined for liability. If the driver was speeding, driving while fatigued, texting, driving under the influence, or violating traffic laws at the time of the accident, they may be held personally responsible for your fracture injuries.
Trucking companies can be held liable under several legal theories. They may be vicariously liable for their employee’s actions under the doctrine of respondeat superior. Additionally, companies can be directly liable for negligent hiring practices, inadequate driver training, pressuring drivers to violate hours-of-service regulations, and failing to maintain their fleet.
The truck owner may be held responsible for accidents caused by poor maintenance, defective parts, or failure to ensure the vehicle is roadworthy. Our fracture injury lawyers in Houston can use medical records, accident reports, photos, expert testimony, and witness statements to establish truck owner liability.
Improperly loaded or secured cargo can cause a truck to become unstable, leading to rollovers or lost loads. The company responsible for loading the cargo may be liable if improper loading contributed to your accident and the resulting fractures.
When defective truck parts or design flaws cause accidents, manufacturers may be held liable under product liability laws. Liability for manufacturers may arise due to defective brakes, tires, steering systems, or other components that failed and led to the collision.
Third-party maintenance companies contracted to service commercial trucks may be liable if inadequate repairs or maintenance contributed to the accident.
Our attorneys can review service logs, inspect repair records, consult mechanical experts, and analyze maintenance timelines to determine whether provider negligence contributed to the accident.

Insurance companies are profit-driven organizations that strive to minimize their financial obligations. For example, they may make a low-settlement offer, hoping you will accept it without objections.
Our fracture injury attorneys can handle all communications with the insurer and counter lowball settlement offers. We can also negotiate aggressively for fair compensation that covers current and future losses.
If settlement negotiations fail, our fracture injury lawyers can represent you in court. We can present compelling evidence and expert testimony to demonstrate the severity of your fracture injury and the defendants’ liability.
You may be entitled to compensation after sustaining a fracture injury in an accident that someone else caused. However, you must prove negligence and establish a link between the accident and your losses.
