Highway

Highway collisions represent one of the most demanding areas of work for Aulsbrook Car & Truck Wreck Injury Lawyers Fort Worth, a personal injury attorney practice based at 4200 South Fwy Ste 13 B in Fort Worth, Texas. Fittingly, the office sits along the South Freeway corridor near the Interstate 35W route on the city's south side, placing the firm squarely within the network of high-speed roadways where these wrecks tend to occur. This page profiles how the practice handles highway-related crashes as part of its broader focus on car and truck wreck injuries throughout Tarrant County.

How Highway Cases Fit the Work of Aulsbrook Car & Truck Wreck Injury Lawyers Fort Worth

As its name reflects, the firm concentrates on collisions involving passenger vehicles and commercial trucks, and highway wrecks sit at the center of that concentration. Fort Worth's freeway system carries heavy commuter traffic alongside 18-wheelers, dump trucks, tankers, and other commercial vehicles, and the speeds involved raise the stakes considerably. Highway matters connect directly to the firm's other areas of practice, including its car accident, truck accident, and wrongful death representation, as well as the specific crash scenarios it addresses such as rear-end collisions, T-bone impacts, rollovers, jackknife wrecks, and blind-spot accidents that frequently unfold at freeway speeds.

What a Highway Accident Involves in Plain Language

Crashes on Fort Worth freeways happen for many of the same reasons everywhere, but the consequences are magnified by velocity and congestion. Drivers commonly travel 70 to 80 miles per hour, leaving little room to react. Contributing factors the firm regularly encounters include speeding, distracted driving from smartphones and navigation devices, intoxication, construction-zone hazards, and aggressive behaviors like tailgating, brake-checking, and unsafe lane changes. Along Interstate 35, one of the busiest downtown freeways, commercial trucks add another layer of risk to the north-south artery. Near Loop 820, aggressive driving and rear-end collisions are common, in part because of the surrounding restaurants and bars. Interstate 30 presents its own challenges with near-constant construction and heavy rush-hour volume.

Because of these speeds, highway wrecks tend to produce severe injuries. The practice handles claims involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, internal organ injuries and bleeding, broken ribs and limbs, burns, and deep lacerations that leave lasting scars. Injuries of this magnitude often carry long-term implications, which is why the firm's approach centers on fully understanding how an injury affects a client's future rather than treating a case as a simple fender bender.

What to Do After a Highway Accident

The firm's guidance for the moments and days following a freeway crash emphasizes safety first and thorough documentation second. A practical sequence looks like this:

1. Move your vehicle to the shoulder if possible, or get yourself to safety away from moving traffic.
2. Call 911 to request immediate medical care and law enforcement.
3. Check on the other parties involved only if you can do so without putting yourself at risk.
4. Begin documenting the scene by photographing your injuries, the damage to each vehicle, and any debris.
5. Capture video of the surrounding area to help demonstrate fault and right-of-way.
6. Collect names and contact details from the other driver, passengers, and any witnesses.
7. Seek medical evaluation right away, since adrenaline can mask serious injuries that only surface later.
