Damaged Red Truck — Temple, TX — The Law Office of John Francis

Attorney John R. Francis' Proven Track Record

“In one death case, I discovered that the truck driver was blind in his left eye. This truck driver never saw the car driving in the left lane beside him until it was too late. I proved that the company knew this and even had three other vision impaired drivers driving in Texas."

“In another death case where the truck driver ran a yield sign, I found that the truck driver had five DWIs and over 20 traffic tickets in a five-year time period, but he was still driving. If the company had reported these violations as required by Federal law, this dangerous driver would have been suspended, and this collision and wrongful death would have never happened.”

“In one case, I uncovered that the truck’s air brakes were not properly adjusted, causing the fully loaded truck weighing 80,000 lbs. to travel twice as far as it should have before crushing the back of my client’s car, killing a child in the back seat.”
