Truck / 18-Wheeler Accidents Lawyer — San Antonio & Eagle Pass

Free case review, available 24/7. No fee unless we recover compensation for you.

Commercial truck and 18-wheeler collisions often cause more severe injuries than typical car accidents due to the size and weight difference between vehicles. These cases can involve the truck driver, the trucking company, and sometimes a separate maintenance or cargo-loading contractor.

Why These Cases Are More Complex

Truck accident investigations often involve federal motor carrier regulations, driver hours-of-service logs, vehicle maintenance records, and multiple potentially liable parties beyond just the driver.

Common Causes

Driver fatigue, improperly secured cargo, mechanical failure, and company pressure to meet delivery schedules are recurring factors in serious truck crashes.

Evidence That Matters

Electronic logging device (ELD) data, dashcam footage, maintenance records, and the driver's qualification file can all be critical to proving liability.

Who can be held responsible in a truck accident?

Depending on the facts, liability may extend to the driver, the trucking company, a leasing company, or a maintenance contractor.

Are truck accident cases handled differently than car accident cases?

Yes. They often involve federal trucking regulations and additional evidence sources not present in typical car accident claims, and evidence like ELD data can be time-sensitive.
