Texas leads the U.S. in fatal 18-wheeler accidents. Luckily for commercial truck drivers, the position of a truck’s steering wheel and cab often protects them from being hurt in a collision. Unfortunately, the opposite is true for passenger vehicles and pedestrians. The size disparity between semis and passenger vehicles makes accidents involving commercial trucks much more likely to result in passenger and pedestrian injuries.
Because truck drivers and trucking companies must abide by state and federal regulations, hiring a semi truck accident lawyer in El Paso who truly understands trucking laws is essential. An experienced semi-truck accident lawyer in El Paso will know how to navigate the complex web of trucking rules and regulations and build a robust case on your behalf, protecting your right to compensation.
If you need a semi-truck accident lawyer, El Paso law firm Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP is here to make sure that trucking companies and their insurers take you seriously. We care about your financial and emotional well-being and never lose sight of the fact that it can feel like you are fighting an uphill battle in the aftermath of a truck accident.
Our team will be there to guide you through your case. That why we prepare every case from the outset as if it is going to trial. If you do not receive a fair settlement offer, we are always prepared to go to court and fight for you. We will be there for you from the first moment we sit down to answer your initial truck accident questions to the moment you receive the settlement funds you deserve.
What Should I Do After a Semi-Truck Accident?
After a commercial semi-truck accident, it is important to take the following steps:
Seek medical help as soon as possible. Seek medical attention even if you think you are not severely injured because some injuries can take time to appear, while others can silently ravage your body. Medical documentation will also help if you file a claim against a liable party later.
File a police report. Texas Transportation Code §550.062 requires investigating officers to submit a written report to the Texas Department of Transportation no later than the tenth day after the date of the crash if it resulted in injury to or the death of a person or damage to property of $1,000 or more.
Interview eyewitnesses. Talk to witnesses, take notes, and exchange contact information with all of them, including other accident victims.
Take photos. Take photos of your vehicle, other vehicles involved in the accident, your injuries, and any homes and businesses that appear to have security cameras that may have recorded footage before, during, and after your crash.
Document everything. Document all property damage, weather conditions, road hazards, traffic signs, and signals. Keep track of medical bills, police reports, email communications, repair invoices, letters between you and the insurance company, and anything else related to your accident.
Consult an attorney before admitting fault. Do not admit fault or say anything that might remotely suggest fault to the police, insurers, or anyone else until you have consulted with an attorney. Even an apology you offer just to be polite can be used by the insurance company or another party to place blame on you.
After a semi-truck accident, the skilled El Paso truck accident attorneys at Armstrong Lee & Baker can review your case, advise you of your rights, and help you decide the best course of action. Consulting with an experienced attorney also helps ensure your truck accident claim is as successful as possible.

Looking for a personal injury lawyer near you in Houston, TX?
In a passenger vehicle crash, driver error is often to blame. However, semi-truck accidents can occur because of anything from construction debris on the road to trucking company negligence. Ultimately, the facts and circumstances surrounding your case will help your truck crash attorneys determine what caused your accident and who can be held accountable.
The most common reasons for semi-truck accidents include the following:
Drunk driving;
Driving under the influence of drugs;
Speeding;
Failing to stop at a traffic signal, stop sign, or crosswalk;
Aggressive driving;
Distracted driving;
Fatigued driving;
Truck driver inexperience;
Poor weather conditions;
Negligent truck inspection and maintenance;
Mechanical failure;
Manufacturer and parts defects;
Road construction; and
Cargo issues.
If you need a knowledgeable semi-truck accident lawyer, the El Paso attorneys at Armstrong Lee & Baker are available to review your case. Understanding what caused your accident is the first step to establishing liability and building a strong truck accident claim.
Who Caused My Commercial Trucking Accident?
Because trucking involves multiple parties, more than one actor may be legally liable for your damages. For instance, suppose a cargo company overloads a truck, and the trucking company fails to maintain the truck’s brakes.
If the truck driver is speeding and hits the brakes while going downhill too fast, and the brakes give out, this could cause the cargo to spill into the road which then can cause a crash. In that case, the driver, cargo company, and truck company might all be liable.
Generally, the most common liable parties include the following:
The truck owner;
The truck driver;
Other passenger vehicle drivers;
Trucking companies;
Truck manufacturers;
Truck parts manufacturers;
Truck part retailers;
Cargo loaders;
Subcontractors, and
Government municipalities.
Because so many different parties can be at fault, proving semi-truck accident liability can be complicated. That is why it is always best to hire a law firm like Armstrong Lee & Baker that has years of experience successfully resolving truck accident claims. Collaborating with semi-truck accident lawyers in El Paso who have experience working with investigators, experts, and insurance companies to establish fault can make all the difference in securing a settlement that covers all your damages.

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.

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!
Armstrong, Lee & Baker did an absolutely wonderful job with my case. The resolution of my case was above and beyond what I expected! Shruti, the associate who handled my case showed great professionalism and I could not be more satisfied with the outcome. Thank you all!...
