Understanding The Causes Of Truck Accidents in Texas
- Driver Fatigue: Truck drivers often face demanding schedules, leading to exhaustion and impaired driving abilities.
- Distracted Driving: Using a cell phone, eating, or other distractions can divert a truck driver’s attention from the road.
- Speeding: Truck drivers may exceed speed limits to meet tight deadlines, increasing the risk of accidents.
- Improper Maintenance: Poor truck maintenance can lead to mechanical failures.
- Overloaded Trucks: Excessive cargo weight makes trucks more unstable and increases the likelihood of rollovers.

When Should You Contact An 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer?
The answer is simple: as soon as possible.
Trucking and insurance companies start building their defense right away, so it’s crucial that you don’t delay in contacting us. You don’t need to wait to see if they’re already working on their side of the case - trust that they are. The sooner you have an attorney on your side, the better chance you have.
It's never too early to reach out - even from the scene of the accident. Physical evidence can disappear quickly once the road is reopened. When a commercial vehicle or 18-wheeler is involved, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration mandates certain documents to be completed and kept only for a limited time. Unfortunately, trucking companies often destroy these records as soon as they’re allowed. By contacting a lawyer right away, we can secure and preserve this vital evidence for your case.
There’s also a time limit on filing a lawsuit. In Texas, you have two years from the accident date to file a claim. The sooner you reach out to us, the more time we have to build a strong case and maximize your potential award.
What Can I Do to Help My Truck Accident Case?
- Don’t don’t talk to insurance or trucking companies. They might try to settle your claim quickly for less than you deserve.
- Never admit fault for the accident. If you do, the law allows a jury to reduce or even eliminate your compensation based on your share of responsibility.
- Seek medical attention immediately. Keep all medical records and document everything related to your recovery.
- Contact our office as soon as possible. We act fast to protect vital information and start building your case. We’re here to fight for you and ensure that trucking companies and drivers follow the law.
