What we handle

Truck cases are their own world. So is the law.

Driver negligence & FMCSA violationsHours-of-service violations, fatigue, speed, distraction, impairment. Trucking is federally regulated — when the driver breaks those rules, it’s a separate path to proving your case.

Trucking company liabilityNegligent hiring, training, supervision, and maintenance. The company’s own records — driver files, inspection reports, dispatch and telematics data — often tell the real story.

Brokers, shippers & stacked insuranceA serious truck case often involves more than one defendant — and more than one policy. Finding every liable party and every layer of coverage is often the difference between six figures and seven.

Catastrophic injury & wrongful deathWhen the worst happens, the case has to account for a lifetime — future care, lost earning capacity, and what your family has lost. We build these cases with the experts to prove it.

We speak their language

We know what the black box remembers.

You shouldn’t have to learn what an ELD is, or what a driver qualification file hides, or which FMCSA rule the driver broke. That’s our job. We try 18-wheeler cases every year — we know the trucking industry’s records, its regulations, and its playbook, and we use the company’s own paperwork to prove what really happened.

After the crash

What to do in the first 72 hours.

The trucking company’s defense started the day of the crash. A few simple steps protect your health — and your case.

Get medical attention immediately.Adrenaline hides injuries. Concussions and internal injuries often don’t show up for hours or days. Get checked, and keep every record.

Document what you can.Photos of the truck — especially the DOT number and company name on the door — the damage, the road, your injuries. Get witness numbers before they drive off.

Don’t give a recorded statement.Their adjuster will call within 24–48 hours sounding friendly. Their job is to get you on tape. Say your attorney will follow up — and hang up.

Don’t sign anything they send.Medical releases, “quick settlement” offers, authorization forms — have a lawyer review everything first.

Stay off social media.Posts, photos, even check-ins can be used to argue you weren’t really hurt. Post nothing — and ask your family to do the same.

Talk to a trucking lawyer fast.Black box data can be overwritten in as little as 30 days. Preservation letters sent within hours of hiring us stop that clock.

Common questions

Straight answers, no runaround.

How much is my 18-wheeler case worth? +

It depends on your medical bills, lost wages, the severity of your injuries, and how clear the company’s fault is. Truck cases are usually worth more than car wreck cases because carriers hold much bigger policies — often $1 million minimum, sometimes far more. We’ll give you a realistic read on the first call.

What if the trucking company is blaming me? +

That’s their playbook — and we know it cold. Texas comparative fault means you can still recover as long as you weren’t more than 50% at fault. We pull the black box data, driver logs, and dashcam footage to show what really happened.

Who pays my medical bills while the case is pending? +

You don’t have to pay out of pocket. Letters of protection, treatment on a lien basis, coordination with your health insurance — your care doesn’t stop because the case is open.

Will the review cost me anything? +

No. The case review is free and confidential, with no obligation to hire us — and there’s no fee unless we win.
