Free case review, available 24/7. No fee unless we recover compensation for you.
Who This Page Is For
Anyone injured in a collision with a commercial truck, delivery vehicle, or 18-wheeler on I-35, I-10, Loop 1604, or another San Antonio-area highway.
Common Scenarios in San Antonio
San Antonio sits at the crossroads of major freight corridors (I-35 and I-10), which means heavy commercial truck traffic through downtown interchanges and along the outer loops, particularly near the Eagle Ford Shale-linked freight routes south of the city.
Liability
Liability can extend beyond the driver to the trucking company, a leasing company, or a maintenance contractor, depending on what caused the crash — driver fatigue, improper loading, or mechanical failure.
Evidence That Matters
Electronic logging device (ELD) data showing hours of service, the truck's maintenance records, the driver's qualification file, and dashcam footage — several of these are time-sensitive and can be lost if not requested quickly.
Damages You May Be Able to Recover
Medical treatment, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering — often at a higher scale than typical car accidents given the severity of injuries commercial vehicle collisions tend to cause.
Deadlines to Keep in Mind
The same general injury-claim deadlines apply, but evidence like ELD data may need to be preserved through a formal request well before any filing deadline.
Insurance Issues
Commercial trucking companies typically carry much higher liability coverage limits than individual drivers, which can mean more available compensation, but also more aggressive insurance-company defense.
Comparative Responsibility
Texas's comparative-fault rule applies the same way — you can recover as long as you're 50% or less at fault, with your compensation reduced by your share.
Commercial and Third-Party Defendants
Federal motor carrier safety regulations govern commercial trucking; violations of hours-of-service rules, weight limits, or maintenance requirements can support a negligence claim against the company, not just the driver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can be held responsible in a San Antonio truck accident?
Depending on the facts, the driver, the trucking company, a leasing company, or a maintenance contractor may all share liability.
How is a truck accident claim different from a car accident claim?
Truck accident claims often involve federal trucking regulations and additional time-sensitive evidence, like electronic logging device data, that aren't present in standard car accident cases.
