Just Hit by an 18-Wheeler? Here’s What You’re Facing — and the Plan
A fully loaded 18-wheeler can weigh 20–30 times what your car does, so the injuries are catastrophic and the bills pile up fast. The trucking company’s insurer is already working to limit what they pay — and the truck’s logs and data can disappear within days. An 18-wheeler accident lawyer moves quickly to preserve the evidence, identify every party who may be liable — the driver, the trucking company, the maintenance contractor — and pursue every insurance policy that applies to seek the full compensation available.
Our 18-Wheeler Accident Legal Services
Driver Error & Regulation Violations
Fatigue, speeding, and hours-of-service violations under the FMCSA rules — we pull the logs and the truck’s own ELD data to prove it.
Trucking Company Liability
Negligent hiring and pressure to skip inspections put the company on the hook, not just the driver.
Delivery, Box & Cement Trucks
Crashes with delivery trucks and cement trucks add national carriers and layered insurance — we find every policy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can be held liable?
Often more than the driver — the trucking company, a maintenance contractor, the cargo loader, even the truck’s owner can share responsibility, each with another insurance policy.
Why are truck cases worth more?
A loaded truck weighs 20–30× a car, so injuries are worse — and commercial trucks carry far higher insurance. Interstate carriers of general freight must carry a $750,000 federal minimum (49 CFR §387.9) versus Texas’s $30,000-per-injured-person auto minimum.
How long do I have to file in Texas?
Generally two years, but the truck’s logs and data can disappear fast — the sooner we start, the stronger your case.
Do I have to go to court?
Most cases settle. Filing suit is sometimes needed to reach the trucking company’s records or move a stubborn insurer.
What is my case worth?
It depends on the injury, the evidence, the fault split, and the insurance available — we don’t put a number on it until we’ve read your records. See what truck accident compensation is worth.
What should I do after a truck crash?
Get to safety, call 911, see a doctor even if you feel okay, photograph everything, and be careful what you tell the insurer. Full steps: what to do after a truck accident.
