Car accidents are never easy. But when a semi-truck is involved, the resulting damage can be extreme. Between wrecked cars, damaged property, and injuries, you may find yourself dealing with a lot of loss and change at once.
At Armstrong Lee & Baker, we have endless compassion for San Antonio residents who have found themselves a victim of a truck accident. And as the area’s foremost personal injury firm, we take pride in setting you up for success when you decide to pursue legal action.
If you’ve never been involved in a lawsuit, starting the process may feel intimidating. So much so, that we often see many victims that never pursue justice at all.
But avoiding legal action (and finding quality legal help) can stop you from getting help that you don’t just need – you deserve.
Pursuing legal action after a truck accident can provide injured individuals with the opportunity to recover compensation for the financial, physical, and emotional losses they have experienced. While no amount of money can undo the effects of a serious accident, a successful claim can help cover medical expenses, lost income, future treatment costs, property damage, and pain and suffering when allowed by law.
Legal action also creates an opportunity to fully investigate what caused the crash and identify everyone who may be responsible. Unlike many passenger vehicle accidents, truck accident cases often involve multiple potentially liable parties, including the truck driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, cargo loading companies, or vehicle manufacturers. A thorough investigation can help ensure that responsibility is fairly assigned.
In many cases, pursuing a claim also helps level the playing field when dealing with insurance companies. Trucking companies and their insurers often have significant resources and legal teams working to protect their interests. Taking legal action allows plaintiffs to advocate for their own rights and seek a settlement or verdict that more accurately reflects the full impact the accident has had on their lives.
Our firm works under a contingency fee basis where we only get paid when we win your case. If we don’t win, you don’t owe us a dime, simple as that. When we do win your case, we receive a percentage of the total recovery along with any incurred expenses. This fee structure allows our clients to aggressively pursue the compensation they deserve without having to worry about being left with hefty legal fees in the scenario where things don’t go as planned.

At Armstrong Lee & Baker, we know that one of the most valuable things we can do is to demystify the legal process for those who have never been through it. When you hire us, we calmly walk you through each step, taking the time to answer each question.
Want to learn the basics? We’ve compiled the essential steps below.
If you’ve been injured, call 911 and seek medical attention right away. Your health should always come first. Even if you don’t believe you’ve been seriously hurt, it’s still a good idea to visit an urgent care center or your primary care provider as soon as possible. Some injuries may not appear immediately, and prompt medical treatment creates a record of your condition after the accident.
If it is safe to do so, take photos and videos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, road conditions, visible injuries, and anything else that may help explain what happened. This documentation can be valuable when determining how the accident occurred and assessing the extent of the damages.
Collect contact and insurance information from the truck driver and any other drivers involved. If there are witnesses, ask for their names and contact information as well. Truck accidents can be stressful, so try to remain calm during these conversations. Avoid discussing fault or arguing about what happened, and focus on gathering the necessary information.
Because truck accident cases often involve multiple parties and complex regulations, it’s helpful to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. An experienced truck accident lawyer can explain your legal options, answer your questions, and help you understand what to expect throughout the claims process.
At Armstrong Lee & Baker, we offer free, no-obligation consultations for potential clients. We’ll take the time to learn about your situation, explain your options, and help you determine the best path forward.

We’ll fight for the compensation you deserve.
When you begin your legal journey after your truck accident, you’re likely to hear the word “negligence” thrown around a lot. It’s a word you may recognize, but its legal definition can have a very different meaning.
Negligence is the legal concept used to determine whether someone failed to use reasonable care and caused another person to be injured as a result. In a truck accident case, negligence can take many forms, including distracted driving, speeding, driving while fatigued, failing to maintain the truck, or improperly loading cargo.
Why does this matter so much? To recover compensation, it is generally necessary to show that another party’s negligence directly contributed to the accident and the resulting injuries. Depending on the circumstances, responsibility may extend beyond the truck driver to include:
Drivers aren’t the only at-risk people on the road. Every passenger is vulnerable to injury, too!
Passengers injured in a truck accident often have the right to pursue compensation for their injuries, regardless of which driver caused the crash. Because passengers are rarely responsible for the collision, they may be able to file a claim against the truck driver’s insurance, the other driver’s insurance, or multiple parties, depending on the circumstances.
The legal process typically begins with an investigation into how the accident occurred, followed by gathering medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and other evidence. From there, claims are submitted, settlement negotiations may take place, and, if a fair resolution cannot be reached, the case may proceed to court.
Our experienced truck accident attorneys can guide passengers through each step of the process while working to protect their rights and pursue fair compensation.
Semi-truck accidents can happen for many different reasons, and they are often more complex than crashes involving only passenger vehicles. While every accident is unique, understanding some of the most common causes can help explain how these collisions occur and why determining fault sometimes requires a thorough investigation.
Driver fatigue is one of the leading factors in truck accidents. Long hours on the road can reduce a driver’s reaction time, concentration, and decision-making abilities, even when federal regulations are in place to limit driving hours. Distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, and aggressive driving behaviors can also increase the risk of a serious crash.
Mechanical problems may also contribute to an accident. Brake failures, tire blowouts, steering issues, or improperly maintained equipment can make it difficult for a truck driver to avoid a collision.
While damage to vehicles is fairly universal in semi-truck accidents, injuries can vary wildly from mild cuts and bruising, to severe, chronic injuries. Our clients have come to us with the following:
These injuries can be physically, emotionally, and financially taxing. Our legal practice is dedicated to helping you get fair access to the support you need to fully heal.

Google Review I cannot recommend Kelly Viktorin at Armstrong Lee & Baker highly enough. After being injured at work, I was incredibly discouraged as many attorneys wouldn’t take my case due to the complexities involved. From our very first consultation, Kelly and her team jumped right in, demonstrating a level of dedication and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. I was consistently kept informed of any updates and felt like a priority. Kelly truly went above and beyond to fight for me, and I am so grateful for her hard work and commitment. If you’re facing a challenging work injury case, especially with a Texas non-subscriber, don’t hesitate to reach out to Kelly Viktorin. You’ll be in excellent hands.
Google Review When I got injured my company didn’t have workers comp. They had something called non subscriber insurance.
I tried a dozen or more lawyers and no one would take my case.
I lost my house in Texas so right as I was moving back to where I was from, Florida, o call Armstrong and Lee. They said they could take my case. Shortly after I meet Adam Grable.
Adam took the case and unraveled it like a champ. It was a difficult case and that’s why other lawyers didn’t take.
Over the next year, Adam because a friend and a member of the family.
I found him brilliant and personable and when needed he found for me.
In the end, we took a settlement even though Adam told me he had a good shot at trial. He understood i wanted this behind me!
If you ever find yourself needed a lawyer trust me Adam Grable will be on your side!
