Recent Cases
As the trucking industry’s growth accelerates, the ratio of qualified, competent drivers decreases. Too many deaths occur on our highways and roads because of preventable negligence and conscious disregard for the safety of our friends and family.
Robert Haslam and Patrick Gallagher have several friends who own trucking companies and have represented quality, competent truck owners. It is a privilege to observe safe and caring trucking company owners. We have also represented many competent, safe and caring truck drivers. Our country depends on the trucking business. Unfortunately, some companies trade safety for profits and allow incompetent or unqualified drivers on our roadways. These drivers cause devastating injuries and their employers should not be in business.
We hire excellent experts in truck litigation cases, and have taken a fleet safety course and learned how to operate a semi truck.
These cases are complicated. Truck companies violating our federal regulations will spend substantial money defending their modes of operation and employ very smart attorneys to defend their conduct. It is very important to consult with an experienced attorney in this area as soon as possible to provide the best and realistic evaluation of your case.
We have successfully filed suit and prosecuted many cases in the following counties against truck drivers and commercial truck operators:
Tarrant
Dallas
Denton
Collin
Johnson
Gregg (Tyler)
Harrison (Marshall)
Maverick (Eagle Pass)
Travis (Austin)
Cameron (Brownsville)
Parker
Harris (Houston)
Hood
Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Haslam have each tried more than 100 jury trials. Mr. Haslam is a member of the Association of Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America (APITLAerica). We are fortunate to have local counsel throughout the state and country to help us bring fair compensation to those injured.
We have successfully taken on powerful trucking companies for injuries and deaths caused on our highways after they denied any responsibility.
If you have questions about the safety of any particular trucking company, please feel free to call us.
