What types of commercial truck claims do your Dallas attorneys handle?
Commercial truck accidents often cause death or catastrophic injuries due to their size, weight, and dimensions. Sadly, in 2019, Texas led America in deadly commercial truck accidents, just as it has for years before.
At Slack Davis Sanger, our Dallas injury lawyers understand the complexities of commercial truck accidents. In commercial truck accidents, there are often multiple victims and multiple defendants. Drivers and truck owners of all commercial trucks – such as 18-wheelers, semis, and hazardous trucks – are required to comply with federal and state trucking laws; when they do not, the results can be devastating for everyone. We ensure that the trucking companies, as well as drivers, shippers, brokers, and manufacturers are held accountable when their negligence leads to your injuries.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, 205,498 persons were injured in motor vehicle traffic accidents in 2020. There wasn’t one day in 2020 where someone didn’t die on a Texas road.

Seasoned Dallas worksite accident lawyers
Two of the most perilous types of professions in the country are oil and gas extraction and construction. Workers usually work outdoors, often in extreme weather. They rely on tools, equipment, and machinery that may be defective or unsafe. Both professions require strenuous physical labor. The chances of a worker being seriously, permanently injured in either profession is high.
In Texas, unlike most other states, employers are not always required to have workers’ compensation insurance. As such, the only option you may have if you’re hurt at work is a personal injury lawsuit. At Slack Davis Sanger, our Dallas work injury lawyers usually hold employers accountable by filing personal injury and product liability claims on behalf of workers injured while performing oil and gas extraction work, construction work, or any other type of work. We understand how crushing it is for workers to suffer injuries that prevent them from ever doing the same job again, or any job, again. We fight for families when a worker is killed while providing an income for his/her family.
We understand and work with doctors who understand the injuries you have and the challenges you face. It is our extensive experience in fighting for work injury victims and families and our strong track record of success that leads many injury victims to hire us. We help show that employers, manufacturers, and others were responsible for your inability to work, pain and suffering, medical bills, scarring and disfigurement, and other damages.
Can you hold manufacturers liable for defective vehicles?
Yes, you can. Car manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have a duty to make their vehicles safe. In fact, there is no need to prove negligence. Manufacturers and others in the supply chain are strictly liable if their defective vehicles cause death or an injury.
At Slack Davis Sanger, we handle all auto defect claims, including those caused by:
- Defective brakes
- Defective airbags
- Defective tires
- Defective ignition switches
- Defective fuel lines
- Defective electrical systems
These defects can cause explosions, fires, and crashes. In most cases, vehicle defects will cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
At Slack Davis Sanger, our Dallas defective vehicle accident lawyers demand that car makers put your safety before their profits. We represent individuals and classes in auto product liability claims in Texas and throughout the country. Contact us to learn more.

Holding Dallas healthcare providers liable for medical malpractice
Medical malpractice victims often live with chronic pain, and need long-term medical care with many different doctors and therapists. Many patients can never work again. Doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and other healthcare providers have a duty to provide competent medical care. They can be held liable if they make an improper diagnosis, commit mistakes during surgeries, commit malpractice during the delivery of a child, prescribe the wrong medicines, or commit any act of negligence.
