18-Wheeler/Truck Accident Attorney In Dallas

Any kind of car accident can throw a lot of unexpected chaos into your life, but an accident with an 18-wheeler can have even more severe and intense consequences. These vehicles can be up to 20 times heavier than cars, have much larger blind spots and have much longer stopping distances. If you get into a crash with an 18-wheeler, you could face serious injuries and a lot of vehicle damage. Most of the time, this means a lot of medical care, high medical bills, potentially lost wages, and sometimes additional pain and suffering.

Working with an experienced attorney can help. Andrew J. Wooley has spent years representing people after truck accidents. An attorney can advocate for you in court and pursue compensation supported by the evidence and applicable insurance coverage.

Tenacious Advocacy After 18-Wheeler Wrecks

Truck accidents are not only more dangerous and serious than car accidents, in most cases, but the accompanying personal injury case can be more complicated. Since most 18-wheelers are commercial vehicles, there is often an added layer of complexity when there is a third party's insurance company involved for the trucking company.

Mr. Wooley spent part of his career working in the insurance world for large corporations. He has a unique understanding of how these systems work, and that background is useful when navigating the complexities of these cases. He can assess the situation, identify the parties involved, investigate the evidence, and work to establish fault. His prior experience with insurance companies, including those that represent trucking companies, informs how he approaches these cases. He has over a decade of experience in personal injury law.
