Houston Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyer
Injured in a crash involving a commercial vehicle in Houston? Gomez Law Firm is here to fight for your rights and help you recover maximum compensation. Whether you were hit by a delivery truck, big rig, or company van, our experienced legal team is ready to hold negligent parties accountable.
Aggressive and Knowledgeable Truck Accident Representation
Among the most dangerous accidents on the road are those involving a heavy freight vehicle, tractor-trailer, 18-wheeler, or other commercial vehicle. Accidents of this magnitude are often accompanied by emotional and physical consequences, as well as financial hardship, disability, and even death.
Although the Texas legal system protects victims of commercial vehicle accidents, the hard truth is that the commercial trucking industry is backed by powerful insurance companies with vast resources. Their priority is protecting their own financial interests and proving their drivers free of blame.
If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, you need a tough legal team that can face these companies on your behalf. Gomez Law Firm offers an aggressive and dedicated team with explicit knowledge of federal trucking laws to get you the maximum recovery you deserve.
