Although the Lone Star State leads the U.S. in fatal truck crashes, in 2021, Tom Green County, home to beautiful San Angelo, had relatively few commercial truck accidents. Only 81 commercial vehicle collisions occurred in San Angelo that year, and only about 15% resulted in deaths or injuries.

We’ll fight for the compensation you deserve.
Truck accident victims often assume the truck driver caused their accident. But other parties may be liable for a trucking-related collision. Depending on the circumstances, responsible parties may include:
Multiple factors and parties can also contribute to an accident, and more than one party can be held liable. Unfortunately, determining liability can be difficult, particularly when parties blame each other.
That is why working with an experienced truck accident attorney who knows how to use evidence and expert opinions to establish liability is essential to getting a just outcome.
To prevail in a claim against an at-fault party, an accident victim must show that the party’s action or inaction amounted to negligence. In Texas, to establish negligence, an accident victim must prove that the at-fault party owed them a duty of care and that the at-fault party breached their duty of care.
An accident victim must also prove that the at-fault party’s breach caused their losses and that they suffered losses they can be compensated for. You must prove all four of these elements to be able to recover compensation.
A truck crash victim may receive damages through an insurance company, private settlement, or court order. Damages are divided into three categories: economic, noneconomic, and punitive damages. Economic damages compensate you for out-of-pocket expenses and monetary losses like medical bills, permanent disability, and lost wages.
Be sure to save copies of your medical bills, repair invoices, and pay stubs to help your attorney accurately calculate your economic losses. Noneconomic damages are more subjective and can include an award for things like emotional distress, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Although rare, courts can also award punitive damages to punish the at-fault party. However, courts only grant punitive damages when the liable party’s conduct was exceptionally horrible or shocking. If you need an accomplished truck accident lawyer, San Angelo law firm Armstrong Lee & Baker can thoroughly investigate your accident, calculate all of your damages, and build a robust case to help you recover your losses.

Google Review I cannot recommend Kelly Viktorin at Armstrong Lee & Baker highly enough. After being injured at work, I was incredibly discouraged as many attorneys wouldn’t take my case due to the complexities involved. From our very first consultation, Kelly and her team jumped right in, demonstrating a level of dedication and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. I was consistently kept informed of any updates and felt like a priority. Kelly truly went above and beyond to fight for me, and I am so grateful for her hard work and commitment. If you’re facing a challenging work injury case, especially with a Texas non-subscriber, don’t hesitate to reach out to Kelly Viktorin. You’ll be in excellent hands.
Google Review When I got injured my company didn’t have workers comp. They had something called non subscriber insurance.
I tried a dozen or more lawyers and no one would take my case.
I lost my house in Texas so right as I was moving back to where I was from, Florida, o call Armstrong and Lee. They said they could take my case. Shortly after I meet Adam Grable.
Adam took the case and unraveled it like a champ. It was a difficult case and that’s why other lawyers didn’t take.
Over the next year, Adam because a friend and a member of the family.
I found him brilliant and personable and when needed he found for me.
In the end, we took a settlement even though Adam told me he had a good shot at trial. He understood i wanted this behind me!
If you ever find yourself needed a lawyer trust me Adam Grable will be on your side!
