How We Handle Truck Cases
I-10 and I-45 carry America's freight. Sometimes it lands on Texas families.
Houston's port and refinery corridors and El Paso's border crossings put more commercial trucks on our roads than almost anywhere in the country. When 80,000 pounds hits a passenger car, the injuries are catastrophic — and the trucking company's team is often at the scene before the wreckage is cleared, building the file to pay you as little as possible.
Federal rules give us weapons most people never use. Hours-of-service limits exist because fatigued driving kills; electronic logging devices record whether they were followed. Maintenance and inspection records, driver qualification files, drug-testing history — federal law requires all of it, and all of it is discoverable when you have a lawyer who knows to demand it.
Our first move is locking down the evidence: a preservation letter that puts the carrier on legal notice, followed by demands for the black-box data, logs, and camera footage. Then we identify every liable party and every layer of insurance — because serious truck cases are rarely about one driver and one policy.
These are the highest-stakes cases we handle, and the ones where hiring a lawyer early matters most. The consultation is free, in English or Spanish.
