Commercial Vehicle Accident Claims in Texas

Accidents involving commercial vehicles — delivery trucks, vans, company cars — are often more complex than standard auto claims. Multiple parties may share liability, and insurance coverage is typically higher. Our experienced team knows how to navigate these cases to maximize your recovery.

Distracted Driving

Texting, adjusting navigation, or reaching for items can take eyes off the road and cause serious crashes.

Impaired Driving

Alcohol, drugs, or fatigue reduce reaction time and judgment, increasing crash risk.

Speeding & Aggressive Driving

Tailgating, weaving through traffic, and ignoring speed limits cause countless preventable wrecks.

Unsafe driving during rain, fog, or debris on the road can lead to hydroplaning, loss of control, or chain-reaction collisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a commercial vehicle wreck different from a regular car accident?

Commercial vehicles carry much larger insurance policies — often $750,000 to $1 million in primary liability under federal regulation, sometimes layered with excess umbrella coverage — and they're defended by carrier-retained law firms from day one. Evidence like ELD/HOS logs, driver qualification files, maintenance records, and post-crash drug-and-alcohol testing has short retention windows and must be preserved with a spoliation letter immediately.

Who can I sue after a commercial vehicle accident?

Potential defendants include the driver, the motor carrier or employer, the truck or trailer owner, a maintenance contractor, the cargo loader, and sometimes the manufacturer of a defective component. Federal regulations make motor carriers responsible for their drivers' negligence in most circumstances — and that's where the deeper insurance lives.

How long do I have to file a commercial vehicle injury claim in Texas?

Two years from the date of the collision for personal injury under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.003. But commercial cases require fast investigation because federal regulations only require carriers to retain certain records (driver logs, DVIRs, dispatch records) for limited periods — often as little as six months. Waiting destroys evidence.

What if the commercial driver was an independent contractor?

Carriers routinely classify drivers as independent contractors to try to shed liability. Federal law (49 C.F.R. §390.5) treats leased and contracted drivers as 'statutory employees' of the carrier whose USDOT number is on the truck. The independent-contractor label is rarely a defense for a federally regulated motor carrier.

What does a commercial vehicle accident lawyer cost?

Contingency fee — no fee unless we win. There's no up-front cost to you. Litigation costs (experts, accident reconstruction, depositions) are advanced by the firm and reimbursed only out of the recovery.
