My name is James Tawney – I am an El Paso truck accident attorney. I wrote this post to be a resource for folks who need to hire an accident attorney but don’t know anyone personally who can make a referral. Toward that end, below you will find a list of 7 truck accident lawyers who I personally endorse.
A truck accident can be severe, primarily due to the size and weight of the vehicle. If you or a loved one were injured in a truck accident, you should seek out the help of an El Paso truck accident lawyer. If your injury was the fault of another, then a lawyer can help you recover compensation under negligence or wrongful death claims.
But how do you determine the best truck accident lawyer for your case? To help you in your search for the right firm, we have compiled this list of the best El Paso truck accident lawyers.
Every lawyer on this list offers free consultations for injury cases, has either 20+ years of experience or won prestigious awards, and has generally positive reviews from the community (4.4+ stars on Google).
Are Truck Accident Lawyers Important?
Yes, it is important to have a truck accident lawyer. Pursuing a truck accident negligence or wrongful death claim can be complicated. There can be various parties at fault, such as:
- Truck driver,
- Trucking company,
- Truck manufacturer,
- Truck maintenance company,
- Cargo loader, or
- Governmental entity.
The liable parties depend on the facts of each case. So, a truck accident lawyer can look at the evidence and determine which party to bring a truck accident claim against.
El Paso truck accident lawyers also prepare your entire case and strategy. Don’t try to do this yourself. Our attorneys at Tawney, Acosta & Chaparro P.C. will review your case and build a strong strategy for your case.
