What if a truck from a Brazoria County chemical plant hit me on SH-35?
Trucks hauling chemicals must carry higher federal insurance minimums, and their carriers face extra rules for hazardous materials. The claim may also reach the plant if it loaded the truck improperly. The placards and shipping papers identify the cargo. If you were exposed to a spill, tell your doctor so that exposure injuries are documented.
Should I sign a medical authorization from the trucking company’s insurer after a Pearland crash?
Not without reading it carefully. Insurers often send broad authorizations that open your entire medical history, which they then use to blame old conditions. You can provide records related to the crash without giving them everything. If you were treated at Memorial Hermann Pearland or HCA Houston Healthcare Pearland, those records can be gathered directly.
