Truck Accident Practice Areas
Every type of commercial truck crash in Austin. FMCSA violations, ELD evidence, carrier liability. Free consultation.
High ValueSettlement: 12-36 months18-Wheeler & Semi-Truck Crashes
A fully loaded 18-wheeler weighs 80,000 lbs — crashes cause catastrophic injuries. We subpoena ELD data, driver logbooks, maintenance records, and black-box data before they disappear. We fight the trucking company, the carrier, and their insurer simultaneously. $1M+ commercial policies available.
High ValueSettlement: 12-30 monthsJackknife Accidents
Jackknife crashes on I-35 and I-10 often involve multiple vehicles and catastrophic injuries. We investigate brake system failures, improper loading, driver panic braking, and FMCSA brake-maintenance violations. Multi-party liability means higher total recovery.
High ValueSettlement: 12-36 monthsUnderride & Override Crashes
Underride crashes — where a car slides beneath a trailer — are frequently fatal or cause traumatic brain injury. We pursue defective rear-guard claims under FMCSA 49 CFR 393.86 alongside negligence claims against the carrier, even when the trucker claims they were not at fault.
Settlement: 18-48 monthsTanker & Hazmat Accidents
Tanker spills and hazmat explosions cause burns, lung injuries, and toxic exposure in addition to impact trauma. We handle the complex multi-defendant litigation — driver, carrier, cargo owner, tank manufacturer — and pursue environmental injury claims where applicable.
Settlement: 12-30 monthsBrake Failure & Overloaded Trucks
Federal law limits trucks to 80,000 lbs. Overloaded trucks shred brakes on Austin's hilly terrain. We obtain the weigh-station records, maintenance logs, and pre-trip inspection reports that prove the carrier knew about the defect and drove anyway.
High ValueSettlement: 12-30 monthsFatigued Driver Violations
FMCSA Hours-of-Service rules cap driving at 11 hours in a 14-hour window. We pull ELD records and paper logbooks to prove HOS violations, then target the carrier for dispatching a fatigued driver — a punitive-damage trigger under Texas law.
Settlement: 6-24 monthsTire Blowout Crashes
Commercial tire blowouts at highway speed create road hazards and rollovers for other vehicles. We pursue the trucking company for maintenance failures, the tire manufacturer for product defects, and the shipper for improper loading that contributed to the blowout.
Settlement: 6-24 monthsDelivery & Box-Truck Accidents
Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and smaller last-mile fleets flood Austin streets. Their drivers are under pressure to hit daily quotas. We navigate the complex independent-contractor arrangements that carriers use to hide liability and recover from the right entity.
Settlement: 6-24 monthsConstruction & Dump-Truck Accidents
Austin's construction boom puts heavy dump trucks and cement mixers on residential roads. When an overloaded or improperly maintained construction truck causes a crash, we pursue the contractor, the owner-operator, and the job-site employer for full damages.
High ValueSettlement: 18-48 monthsCatastrophic Injury — TBI & Spinal
Truck crashes cause disproportionate TBI, spinal cord damage, and paralysis. We engage neuropsychologists, life-care planners, and vocational experts to calculate the lifetime cost of your care — then demand that full amount from the carrier's $1M+ commercial policy.
Settlement: 18-48 monthsTruck-Accident Wrongful Death
Losing a family member to a negligent trucker is devastating. Texas wrongful death law allows spouses, children, and parents to recover funeral costs, lost income, lost companionship, and mental anguish. We handle these cases with dignity and relentless advocacy.
Settlement: 6-24 monthsTrucking Insurance & UM Claims
Commercial carriers carry FMCSA-mandated minimum policies from $750K to $5M. Their rapid-response insurance teams arrive at the scene within hours. We respond just as fast, preserve evidence, and negotiate directly with carrier adjusters — you never deal with them alone.
What happens after a truck crash
Carriers send a rapid-response team. You need one too.
Call Us — Same Day
The trucking company's insurer is already at the scene. Call Call Now or WhatsApp us immediately. We issue a preservation letter demanding ELD data, logbooks, and dashcam footage before they can be deleted.
We Investigate the Carrier
We subpoena the driver qualification file, drug/alcohol test results, maintenance logs, and FMCSA safety history. We hire independent accident reconstructionists and trucking safety experts — not paid by the carrier.
We Recover from the Policy
Commercial carriers carry $750K–$5M+ policies. We negotiate directly with carrier adjusters and, when needed, take them to trial. You pay $0 unless we win — we do not get paid until you do.
Serving All of Austin Metro & Travis County
If you were hurt by a commercial truck anywhere in or around Austin, we represent you — Travis, Williamson, Hays, and Bastrop counties.

“An 18-wheeler ran a red light at Ben White and crushed my car. The carrier's rapid-response team was at the scene before the ambulance left. My attorney here had a preservation letter to the trucking company that same evening. Settled for $1.35M from their commercial policy.”

“A tired long-haul driver crossed the center line on I-35 north of Pflugerville at 2am. They found his ELD showed 14 straight hours of driving against the 11-hour limit. That HOS violation turned a hard case into a clear win — $825,000 settlement.”

“Rear-ended by a FedEx box truck on US-183. FedEx tried to call it an independent contractor to dodge liability. My lawyer dismantled that argument and forced the settlement to $310,000. I never would have known to push back on that without them.”
Carlos V.
Round Rock, TX - Verified
“My husband was killed in an underride crash with a flatbed that had a broken rear-guard. They found the maintenance log showed the guard had been damaged for 11 weeks. Wrongful death settlement: $2.1M. It will not bring him back but it honors his life.”

“A dump truck on a construction haul lost its brakes downhill and T-boned me at Parmer Lane. I have a spinal fusion now. The firm got an expert to prove the carrier skipped 3 required brake inspections. Final settlement including future medical: $980,000.”
Aaron T.
Georgetown, TX - Verified
“Jackknife accident on I-10 — a semi lost control in the rain and took out four cars including mine. TBI and a broken pelvis. The team moved fast, got a preservation notice to the trucking company before they deleted the dashcam footage. $1.65M recovered.”
