Logging companies in Texas are generally paid by the load, which financially incentivizes stacking logs as high as possible to transport more, more quickly. Gilbert Adams Law Offices, serving clients since 1930, represents victims of logging truck crashes caused by overloaded or imbalanced trailers, aggressive driving tactics, and loose cargo that can become dislodged and roll or fly into nearby traffic.
The firm points to several risk factors behind these crashes: drivers pushing through nighttime hours and poor weather to be first in line at the mill, imbalanced loads that cause a truck to tip on a sharp turn, drivers who take rural back roads to avoid weigh stations, and truckers who self-medicate with alcohol or drugs during long, punishing hours on the road. Logging trucks are subject to specific regulations under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and violating those rules can serve as strong proof of negligence.
Attorneys Gilbert T. Adams and Gilbert T. Adams III work to reconstruct the circumstances of a crash and prove that a truck driver, logging company, truck manufacturer, or other third party acted negligently, pursuing repayment for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. The firm’s office is located at 1855 Calder Ave., Beaumont, TX 77701, and can be reached at 409-835-3000 for a free consultation.
