Truck Accidents in Texas
Truck accidents are especially complex due to the fact that multiple parties may be at fault. This means you may have to identify those that caused or contributed to the accident and deal separately with each participant’s insurance company. Furthermore, large trucking companies generally have their own teams of attorneys who will work hard to limit their liability and protect their interests. They also may have first responders who are immediately deployed to an accident site to do whatever they can to deflect responsibility. All of these factors can put you at a significant disadvantage as a private person who knows little about the laws and the legal process. Our firm is here to give you the edge you need in fighting for a fair settlement.
Those parties that may be held liable for truck accident damages can include:
- The driver
- The trucking company
- The shipper that loaded the cargo
- The company that was responsible for truck maintenance
- The truck or its parts manufacturer
Whether you have been injured in an accident involving a tractor-trailer, a dump truck, a tanker, a cement truck, or some other large commercial truck, Alex the Defender can help. We know how to investigate every aspect of the collision to provide supporting evidence in building your claim as well as how to negotiate with these companies. We work hard to help you seek compensation that covers injuries ranging from whiplash to permanent disability due to the loss of limbs or body parts, brain injuries, spinal injuries, or disfigurement.

What Causes Truck Accidents
Accidents involving trucks can be caused by numerous factors such as:
- Drivers failing to abide by mandatory state or federal trucking regulations regarding the hours of service during which they can drive
- Drivers failing to see vehicles due to blind spots
- Driving while distracted, tired, or impaired by drugs
- Speeding
- Overloaded or improperly loaded trucks
- Poor truck maintenance leading to equipment failures
- Truck manufacturing defects
- Poorly trained or vetted drivers
These and more causes can lead to jackknife accidents, rear-end accidents, underride accidents where cars are crushed underneath trailers, rollovers, head-on crashes, and merging or lane-changing accidents where truck drivers cannot see behind them in blind spots.
"A lot of lawyers write on their websites that they "fight" and that they work "tirelessly" for their clients. The truth is that being a lawyer is more than just fighting or working tirelessly. It's knowing what to do at the right moment to get a fantastic result for a client. I go to trial if I have to. I fight if I have to. But most of the time, my job is to help people who cannot help themselves."
