Choose us because you want an experienced team of attorneys that has multiple approaches to secure the maximum recovery for you. We understand Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulations, a complex and comprehensive set of rules to govern truckers, trucking companies, and insurance companies. Our in-depth knowledge in this area often leads to a much higher financial recovery, even up to millions of dollars. Because our founder Dr. Bradshaw is a licensed physician and surgeon, we understand the importance of explaining injuries to the insurance companies, or juries if needed, with an emphasis on the need for compensation. Our experience in semi-truck accident cases and our success in obtaining multi million dollar results signals to insurance companies that we know how to win big—in fact, Dr. Bradshaw has never lost a semi-truck accident case. Finally, we work to get our clients the biggest net settlement by charging a lower fee than industry standards. Starting fees for early settlements are typically just 25% with our team of experienced lawyers. Here are a few examples of how our experience and knowledge have paid off for clients:
Many lawyers are either unfamiliar with broker liability or have never handled such a case. Dr. Bradshaw has helped families increase recovery from $1 million to $11 million based on broker liability. He teaches attorneys throughout the United States how to successfully handle broker liability cases.
After a semi-truck wreck caused the death of a man in a car, the insurance company offered a $1 million settlement to the attorney on the case. That attorney contacted Dr. Bradshaw to ask for help and our team found an additional $1 million in hidden insurance the company had not told the first lawyer about. We settled the case for $2 million.
When a plaintiff who was injured in an accident was told by their attorney they could only get about $350,000, they fired him and hired Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm. We worked hard for the client, rejecting lower offers and taking the case to trial where we obtained a $2.4 million verdict.
When a truck driver was rear-ended by another semi-truck it resulted in a back injury. Insurance initially offered $150,000. Thanks to Dr. Bradshaw’s medical training he was able to have our client evaluated by one of the top spinal surgeons in the world. With this additional medical information in addition to our firm’s experience in trucking cases, we settled the case for just under $1 million.
One severe injury case we settled for $25,000,000. With our fee of 25% we saved the client $3.75 million compared to most lawyers who charge 40%.
Any time we partner with trucking attorneys in Texas, we pay them out of our fee, not your settlement or judgement amount. When you choose Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm you do not have to worry about extra or hidden fees. The contract you sign sets out the total fee clearly from the beginning.
What should I do if I've been injured in a trucking accident?
Medical Care: Because your health should be your number one priority, you should always continue to seek the medical attention you need. Dr. Bradshaw can sometimes help with finding you a top health care clinic or physician, including the Craig Hospital for spinal cord and brain injuries and physicians who perform osseous integration for amputees, among others. From a more practical standpoint, insurance companies and juries are more suspicious of a severe injury claim if there is a significant time gap between the accident and seeking treatment.
Photographs: Take photos of any property damage incurred. You need evidence proving the severity of the impact before the vehicle is destroyed.
Documentation: Record keeping is vital. Keep documentation of all your medical providers and appointments. Proper documentation of how your injury has impacted your quality of life as well as a record of keeping appointments are vital to demonstrate when seeking damages. Trucking and insurance companies often try to reduce the payout if they feel you are not appropriately mitigating your damages with the appropriate healthcare.
What kind of injuries are covered under trucking accident law?
All injuries and damages incurred during a trucking accident are covered. These injuries fit into “economic” and “non-economic” categories. Our team of expert attorneys can obtain a recovery on both of those categories. Economic recovery is for anything you can put on paper. This includes medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, property damages, even having to pay someone to mow your yard. Non-economic recovery consists of pain and suffering, loss of companionship, loss of life enjoyment through the inability to continue hobbies and activities.
Injuries caused by the driver, the trucking company, and in catastrophic injury cases the broker, are all claimable. With the assistance of our experienced team of attorneys, we can confidently negotiate with the insurance companies to maximize your recovery.
When should I hire an attorney from Dr. Brad Bradshaw's Law Firm?
You should hire an attorney as soon as possible after your accident. Trucking companies are able to start destroying evidence 7 days after a wreck. It usually begins with destroying GPS data that could be used to track the at-fault truck. At 6 months, federal law allows trucking companies to destroy logbooks, which are often evidence of illegal activity on the part of the driver or the trucking company.
Trusted expertise in trucking law. If you speak to an attorney who believes semi-truck cases are just “big” car wreck cases, we would not recommend choosing them for your representation.
We emphasize to our clients that large trucks are subject to special rules and regulations, referred to as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Rules (FMCSRs). The attorneys with Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm understand these complex and comprehensive rules governing truckers, trucking companies, insurance companies, which is essential for a maximum gross recovery for your damages.
For example, FMCSRs allow trucking companies to begin destroying records before the statute of limitations expires. This includes the fact they can destroy GPS tracking records after just 7 days. You want to seek qualified legal representation as soon as possible so they can send a “spoliation/preservation” letter to the trucking company requesting they do not destroy any records. This letter allows us to hold them accountable for destruction which occurs after the company receives it. Destroying evidence after the letter allows us to make an adverse inference that the evidence would have proven guilt on the part of the trucker or trucking company.
Dr. Brad Bradshaw is undefeated in semi-truck cases and has taught other lawyers throughout the United States, including lawyers in Texas, about these complex rules and regulations, as well as other aspects of semi-truck and tractor-trailer injury cases. In fact, Dr. Bradshaw was elected as Chairman of America’s Trucking Litigation Group, which has members across the US. Trust our team to work with the most qualified and successful trucking attorneys in Texas so you get the best legal team possible. When you reach out, we immediately begin investigating your claim to determine liability, insurance coverage, and so much more.
We can obtain police and highway accident reports, including photos if they exist, before contacting witnesses and sometimes an accident reconstructionist to take pictures and measurements of the scene. All of this strengthens your claim and recovery against trucking insurance companies.
