Houston Injury and Accident Lawyer & Attorney : Vujasinovic & Beckcom Law Firm : Workplace Injuries, Car Accidents, Insurance Claims : Harris County, Texas

Some attorneys think truck accident cases are just like car accidents cases only with bigger vehicles and more significant injuries.

Not true.

Nowadays, a lot of trucks have very sophisticated electronic equipment and hi-tech devices.  These devices are changing the face of trucking litigation. 

Things like on-board computers, electronic loggin, GPS systems and wireless/satellite tracking can provide a lot of information about a truck accident and a truck driver's history and habits.

However, a truck accident attorney needs to know what to ask for, how to find it, how to interpret the data, and which experts to call to make this information useful.

If you have a truck accident case, make sure your attorney is familiar with the latest technology used in heavy trucks.  This may be the difference between winning and losing your case.

According to various news sources, including KHOU, a Galveston police officer, newly married, was killed and his new wife was badly injured in a motorcycle accident in Galveston near Highway 146 and Avenue T.

Apparently, the intersection where the officer was killed is known for being particularly dangerous. There have been more than 10 fatal accidents in that section of the highway in the past seven years.

Of course, the Texas legislature basically gives complete and total immunity to the state for highway design, regardless of how dangerous it is, so the State and TXDOT don't have much of an incentive to change anything to make the highway safer.
