Holding Truckers Accountable for Endangering the Public
With great power comes great responsibility, as the saying goes. A tractor-trailer weighing up to 40 tons has the power to obliterate anything in its path. The law firm of Colley & Colley, L.L.P., is committed to holding truck drivers and their employers responsible when their careless or aggressive driving results in injury or death.
We have a proven record in representing the victims of trucking accidents in the Austin area, across East Texas and statewide. We have the resources and knowledge to conduct the prompt and thorough investigation to reveal the trucker's negligence or reckless disregard for safety in pursuit of maximum compensation for our clients. Contact us today for a free consultation if your family is dealing with the aftermath of a car-truck collision.

Holding Truck Drivers to a High Standard of Safety
Commercial drivers have special licenses and special training. They know the dangers and they know the rules, so there is no excuse for the devastation caused when their careless or reckless conduct leads to a serious accident.
Our attorneys have secured multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements in personal injury and wrongful death litigation, including catastrophic truck accidents. We act swiftly to counter the sophisticated investigation that will be mounted by the trucking company and its insurer. You can count on us to fight for every dollar of compensation for the medical trauma, lasting disability, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.
