Why Truck Wrecks Are Different
- Catastrophic injuries & damages: 80,000-lb rigs cause life-changing harm and higher medical and recovery costs.
- Complex liability: Driver, trucking company, broker, shipper/loader, maintenance provider, or parts manufacturer may share fault.
- Federal & Texas rules: Hours-of-Service, CDL standards, maintenance and cargo-securement regs often decide liability.
- Bigger insurance policies: Commercial carriers fight hard to minimize payouts—experienced counsel levels the field.
Common Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents
- Driver fatigue/Hours-of-Service violations
- Distracted driving (phone/GPS)
- Speeding/unsafe lane changes/tailgating
- Improperly loaded or overweight trailers
- Poor maintenance (brakes, tires, lights)
- Weather/visibility with failure to slow or stop
Who Can Be Liable?
- Truck driver (negligence, DUI, fatigue)
- Motor carrier/trucking company (hiring/training, dispatch pressure, maintenance, supervision)
- Loader/shipper (cargo shift, hazmat spills)
- Repair shop or manufacturer (defective parts)
- Government entity (dangerous road design/maintenance—special deadlines apply)
Evidence We Move Quickly to Preserve
- ELD/“black box” data (speed, braking, hours)
- Driver qualification & training files
- Maintenance/inspection records
- Bills of lading & load paperwork

How long do I have to file?
Generally two years from the crash; shorter government-claim notices may apply.
Who might be liable?
Driver, trucking company, shipper/loader, maintenance provider, or manufacturer—sometimes several at once.
