Truck crashes involve federal FMCSA regulations, commercial insurance policies of $750K to $5M+, and multiple defendants — the driver, the carrier, the cargo shipper, and sometimes the truck manufacturer. The trucking company dispatches a rapid-response team immediately after a crash. You need an attorney who moves just as fast to preserve ELD records, dashcam footage, and logbooks before they are overwritten or destroyed. We have handled hundreds of commercial truck cases in Texas.
We immediately issue a preservation letter demanding the ELD (electronic logging device) data, paper logbooks, dispatch records, driver qualification file, drug and alcohol test results, pre-trip inspection reports, maintenance logs, and any dashcam or event data recorder (black box) data. Trucking companies are required by FMCSA regulations to keep most of this for 6-12 months — but some footage can be overwritten in 48 hours. Call us the same day as the crash.
Yes — and you should. Trucking companies are vicariously liable for their drivers under respondeat superior. They can also be independently liable for negligent hiring, negligent entrustment, negligent supervision, and failure to maintain the vehicle. In FMCSA violation cases we also look at whether the carrier had a history of safety deficiencies that the FMCSA recorded. More defendants mean more insurance coverage and more total recovery.
It depends on your injuries, the size of the commercial policy ($750K minimum for interstate carriers, up to $5M for hazmat), whether the carrier has FMCSA violations (which can trigger punitive damages under Texas law), and the strength of evidence. Our cases have settled from $150,000 (minor injuries, clear liability) to $2.1M+ (wrongful death, serious violations). Call us for a free case evaluation.
Hours-of-Service violations (driving more than 11 hours, skipping the mandatory 10-hour rest), drug/alcohol use, maintenance log falsification, insufficient brake inspection intervals, overloaded cargo, and unlicensed drivers are all punitive-damage triggers under Texas law. When the carrier knowingly violated federal safety regulations, you can recover more than just economic and compensatory damages.
Texas has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. However, federal regulations require carriers to preserve logbooks for 6 months and ELD data for 6-12 months. If you wait, critical evidence disappears — insurance companies know this. Call us within 7 days of the crash. We issue preservation notices immediately so evidence cannot be deleted.
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.
James B. - Austin, TX
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.
Donna M. - Pflugerville, TX
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
24/7 availability. No fee unless we win. Carrier ELD evidence preserved immediately.
