Have you or a loved one been involved in a Houston dump truck accident?
Houston Texas is home to numerous accidents involving dump trucks each year due to the high volume of construction in the area.
Most people know that dump truck accidents usually cause considerably more damage conventional car accidents.
However, it is not so commonly known that legal cases spawned by dump
truck accidents are considerably different that those stemming from car
accident cases. It can be quite detrimental to approach a dump truck
accident case in the same fashion you would a car accident.
Helpful Information
Did you know: Dump trucks are insured by rather large commercial
insurance policies. These policies are usually about 50 times greater
in value than a conventional automobile policy. As a result of this,
these insurance policies are heavily protected against. In the course
of filing a claim, you will experience aggressive opposition as the
carrier scrambles to do anything to avoid a large payout.
Did you know: The adjusters assigned to commercial vehicle insurance
policies are the most aggressive adjusters in the industry. These
adjusters are assigned to these policies because they have proven
themselves to be highly effective at saving money for their insurance
company. Generally, these commercial policy adjusters have several
years of experience and have promoted into these upper level positions.
In addition to their experience, these commercial policy adjusters have
a vested financial interest in paying you as little as possible as they
are paid bonuses and commissions based on their ability to deny or
reduce claims.

attorneys on standby at all times. These attorneys are dispatched at a

anything they can to keep their record clean. You can usually bet that

the police report may initially record.

accident scene. These investigators are looking for any evidence they
