Here is how the process generally works:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Your Free Consultation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Zero pressure, total clarity. You talk with our team about what happened. We answer your questions, explain your legal rights, and tell you honestly if we can help.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gathering the Truth &amp; Protecting Evidence: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We immediately notify the trucking company and their insurance adjusters that we represent you. From this moment on, they are legally required to stop calling you. We handle all calls and send formal legal notices to preserve evidence before it can be deleted.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Treatment &amp; Calculating Your Total Losses: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you heal, we compile your medical records, calculate lost wages, and consult with medical professionals to figure out what your future care will cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sending a Demand &amp; Negotiating:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We present the insurance company with a detailed package outlining what happened, why their driver or carrier was at fault, and the exact cost of your damages.

Freese &amp; Goss thoroughly investigates collisions involving:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jackknife Crashes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A jackknife occurs when the truck&#8217;s cab slows down or stops abruptly, but the heavy trailer behind it keeps momentum, swinging outward at a sharp angle. This creates a folding motion similar to a pocket knife.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underride Collisions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underride collisions are among the most lethal types of crashes. They happen when a smaller passenger car slides directly beneath the rear or side of a commercial trailer due to missing, damaged, or weak guard rails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rollover Wrecks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High speeds, sudden swerving, or improperly balanced cargo can cause an 80,000-pound rig to lose balance and tip over on its side. A rolling or overturned truck blocks entire interstate lanes, creates multi-car chain reactions, and risks crushing any smaller vehicles traveling directly beside or behind it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blind Spot Wrecks\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commercial trucks have massive blind spots along their front, rear, and both sides. When a truck driver changes lanes or turns without properly checking these areas, they can sideswipe nearby passenger cars.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rear-End Collisions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fully loaded commercial 18-wheeler traveling at highway speeds requires roughly two football fields to come to a complete stop. An inattentive or fatigued truck driver cannot brake in time and may strike stopped passenger cars from behind.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determining and Establishing Fault in Mesquite Truck Accident<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Texas operates under a <\/span><b>modified comparative fault rule<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (often called the 51% bar rule).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What does 51% comparative fault mean for you?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under Texas law, you can recover financial compensation as long as you are <\/span><b>50% or less at fault<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the crash.
