Common Injuries in Commercial Vehicle Accidents
The impact of a commercial truck causes more severe injuries than a typical car accident. If you have any of the following injuries, our Houston personal injury attorneys can help you recover compensation for:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injury
- Broken bones
- Internal bleeding
- Lacerations
- Neck injuries
- Leg injuries
However, before you contact us, you should visit a doctor to get a diagnosis of your truck accident injuries. If you don’t, you could have hidden injuries that could surface much later.
If you aren’t aware of your injuries, our team won’t be able to ensure we recover all the damages you qualify for. We’ll be here for you after you’ve had all your injuries diagnosed.

Commercial truck accidents can cause you to suffer financial and emotional losses due to your injuries. Luckily, you can recover damages to pay for the financial losses you’ve suffered through:
Economic Damages
Economic damages are losses that have a quantifiable value and impact your financial situation. One of our commercial vehicle accident attorneys in Houston can help you recover economic damages such as:
- Medical expenses
- Loss of income
- Property damage
- Loss of earning capacity
- Physical therapy
- Loss of household services
- Transportation costs
Non-Economic Damages
On the other hand, non-economic damages are losses that don’t have a dollar value and represent emotional losses you’ve suffered from the accident. Our team can help you recover non-economic damages such as:
- Loss of consortium
- Disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of companionship
Your injuries’ severity and the parties’ negligence will overall determine what damages you could be eligible to recover. A Houston commercial vehicle accident lawyer can meet with you, review your case for free and tell you the damages you qualify for.

As a truck accident victim, you only have so much time to file a claim for compensation against the negligent parties. According to Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003, you have two years from the accident date to submit a commercial vehicle accident claim.
If you fail to file your claim within the deadline, you’ll be ineligible for compensation. However, our lawyers understand that you have a lot to do after an accident in addition to healing from your injuries. So we’ll happily meet with you to examine your case and tell you how long you have to file.

After a commercial vehicle accident, you have enough bills to worry about, and we’re not here to add to your stress. That’s why we offer a “No Win, No Fee” agreement, commonly known as a contingency fee agreement. With our No Win, No Fee agreement, you don’t have to pay anything if we don’t win you a settlement or court award.
Our team’s priority is helping people, and we strongly believe that clients shouldn’t be barred from legal help because of their financial situation. If we win, you still don’t have to worry about paying any money out-of-pocket because we’ll deduct a percentage from your settlement.
The days of hourly billing are over, in our opinion. When you come to us, we care about your case and you more than how much we get from taking on your case.

Available 24 / 7|Free ConsultationThe Risks of Handling Your Accident Case Alone
The choice to hire an attorney after a commercial vehicle crash is completely up to you. However, the benefits of hiring a commercial truck accident lawyer in Houston outweigh the choice of going it alone. Without a lawyer from our firm, there are several parties involved in a legal case that could take advantage of you, including:
- Defendant’s attorney
- Insurance adjusters
- Commercial vehicle company
In the absence of one of our attorneys, it’s easier for various parties to take advantage of you because you may be unaware of your rights. But when you work with a lawyer, we can protect you and defend your legal rights.
Another downside of taking on your case alone is that you likely won’t receive as much compensation as you would if you worked with a lawyer. You could lose out on compensation for many reasons, whether because you missed the deadline to file your claim, the insurance company manipulated you, or you provided incorrect information on your claim. Our lawyers can help with all these tasks and fight for the maximum compensation.
Zinda Law Group is Ready to Help You
Our team is proud to offer our services with such passion and focused care. Our small firm has access to more resources because our team of Houston commercial vehicle accident attorneys has more time to spend on your case. We’ll likely assign two qualified lawyers to your truck accident case, which will warrant faster and better results.
In addition to two attorneys, our medical records team and investigation team will also collaborate to make sure you have a strong Houston commercial truck accident case. In our 15 years of experience, we’ve gone up against big-name insurance companies like Geico, Liberty, Progressive, and USAA, and we’ve won. For example, when we negotiated a settlement for one of our clients through Geico, we recovered a $930,000 settlement.
And if the insurance company isn’t willing to give you a settlement that covers all your expenses, our team has no problem taking your case to the Houston courts. We go to court often to help our clients get the money they need to cover their losses. Our founding attorney and lead trial attorney, John C. Zinda, takes pride in taking clients’ cases to court and has gone up against some of the most powerful defendants, and we’re ready to do the same for you.
