Trucking Company and Insurance Defense Lawyers

People in South Texas are particularly tough on insurance companies and self-insured trucking companies when it comes to assigning liability in truck accidents. Juries in these cases are likely to award large damages to plaintiffs injured in accidents, often failing to acknowledge any negligence on the part of the plaintiff.

In this plaintiff-friendly area, the law firm of Rodriguez, Colvin, Chaney & Saenz, L.L.P. has established a successful liability defense practice built on an understanding of the region's people and their concerns.
