Truck Accidents in Texas
Big Trucks. Bigger Injuries. Serious Help.
When an 18-wheeler causes a wreck, the damage goes far beyond dented metal. We fight for people across the greater Houston area who’ve been hurt by commercial drivers—and we don’t back down from powerful trucking companies.
Truck Wrecks Are a Different Kind of Case
We Know How to Handle What You’re Facing
Crashes involving semi-trucks, big rigs, and delivery vehicles are some of the most serious cases we see. The injuries are often life-altering, and the legal side is complex—because you’re not just dealing with a driver, but with companies, policies, and lawyers trained to minimize your payout. We know how trucking cases work, and we build strong claims that hold the right people accountable.
We know what’s at stake. That’s why we prepare every case for trial, never accept lowball settlements, and go head-to-head with corporations and insurance companies to ensure our clients get the justice and compensation they deserve.
What Causes Truck Accidents
Uncovering the Real Story
We investigate every detail to expose unsafe drivers, negligent companies, and the critical mistakes that lead to devastating crashes.
Driver Fatigue
Truckers often drive too long without rest, violating federal rules designed to prevent accidents.
Speeding or Aggressive Driving
Large trucks require far more distance to stop, making speeding and tailgating especially dangerous.
Unqualified or Poorly Trained Drivers
Some companies put untrained or unscreened drivers on the road, creating huge risks for others.
Failure to Check Blind Spots
Truck drivers have large blind spots, and failing to check them properly can cause devastating lane-change accidents.
Overloaded or Improperly Loaded Trailers
Excess weight or uneven loads can affect balance and make it harder to stop safely.
Distracted Driving
Texting, GPS use, or even eating behind the wheel often contribute to serious crashes.
Brake Failure or Equipment Defects
Poor maintenance or faulty parts can lead to catastrophic mechanical failures.

What to Know After a Big Rig Crash
Truck Accident FAQ
Who can be held responsible for a truck accident in Texas?
More than just the driver may be liable. In many cases, the trucking company, freight broker, maintenance crew, or even a vehicle manufacturer may share responsibility. If a company hired an unqualified driver, pushed unsafe schedules, or failed to maintain the truck, they can be held accountable. We investigate every angle to uncover all responsible parties and maximize your recovery.
What makes a truck accident case different from a regular car wreck?
Truck accident cases are more complex for several reasons. The injuries are usually more severe, and there are often multiple companies and insurance policies involved. Federal regulations also apply—like rules on driver hours, inspections, and training. These cases require deep investigation, strong evidence, and a lawyer who understands how the trucking industry operates. We know how to build a case that holds up in court.
How much is my truck accident case worth?
Truck accident claims tend to involve higher compensation because the damages are often significant. You may be entitled to payment for medical bills, future treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and more. If your injuries are permanent or your ability to work is affected, the value of your claim increases. We work with experts to estimate the full impact and make sure you’re not shortchanged.
What if the trucking company’s insurance adjuster calls me?
Do not speak to them before talking to a lawyer. Trucking insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts and may try to get you to say something that hurts your case. They may also offer a fast settlement that’s far below what your case is worth. We handle all communication with the insurance companies and protect your rights from day one.
Is there a deadline for filing a truck accident lawsuit in Texas?
Yes. In Texas, you typically have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, it’s important to act quickly because evidence in truck cases—like logs, maintenance records, and camera footage—can disappear fast. The sooner we start investigating, the better your chances of a strong outcome.
