A truck accident claim in Texas is not simply a larger car wreck claim. A motor carrier may send investigators, insurance representatives, and lawyers to the scene within hours. Their job is to protect the company. The injured person needs an investigation focused on finding the truth and preserving proof.
Our truck accident quick-response investigation may include scene photos and measurements. We may also interview witnesses, inspect vehicles, and request company records. Acting early can keep key evidence from being repaired, overwritten, discarded, or lost.
The evidence needed in a commercial truck case often goes far beyond the police report. Depending on the facts, we may seek:
Conroe sits along a major north-south freight route and continues to grow. Large trucks use I-45, SH 105, North and South Loop 336, FM 3083, and SH 75. They share these roads with commuters, families, construction traffic, and delivery vehicles.
The latest published county report from TxDOT shows the scale of the problem. According to TxDOT’s 2024 commercial motor vehicle crash report, Montgomery County had 671 commercial motor vehicle crashes. The report lists eight fatal crashes, 17 suspected serious-injury crashes, and 69 suspected minor-injury crashes.
Those numbers do not tell the story of each family. A rear-end crash in I-45 traffic can require surgery. A wide-turn crash near a busy intersection can cause months away from work. The same is true of a high-speed wreck on SH 105. A local investigation should study the road and traffic patterns. It should also look for cameras, witnesses, and nearby construction.
More than one person or company may be legally responsible. Finding every responsible party matters because each may hold different evidence and insurance coverage. Our page on who may be responsible for a truck accident explains this issue in more detail.
A driver may be responsible for speeding or following too closely. Other causes include unsafe lane changes, distraction, and fatigue. A driver may also fail to yield or lose control of the truck.
A trucking company may be responsible for its own unsafe conduct. Examples include negligent hiring, poor supervision, unsafe dispatch practices, weak safety policies, or pressure to meet a deadline. The company may also be responsible for the driver’s conduct while the driver was working.
Some crashes begin with bad brakes, worn tires, steering problems, broken lights, or another mechanical failure. We review inspection and repair records and determine whether poor truck maintenance contributed to the wreck.
An overloaded or shifting load can cause a rollover, jackknife, or loss of control. A cargo-loading company, shipper, or trailer owner may share responsibility. A broker, parts maker, or contractor may also be at fault. Liability always depends on the facts.
Federal rules require motor carriers to keep important driver and vehicle records. For example, 49 C.F.R. Part 391 covers driver qualifications, while 49 C.F.R. Part 393 addresses parts, equipment, and safe operation requirements. A rule violation does not decide every case, but it may provide strong evidence of unsafe conduct.
Serious commercial vehicle crashes are often preventable. Common causes include:
Commercial drivers and motor carriers must follow federal safety rules. Some rules cover driver qualifications and work hours. Others cover inspections, maintenance, cargo, and drug or alcohol testing.
The FMCSA hours-of-service rules limit how long many property-carrying drivers may drive and stay on duty. Electronic logs can show whether a driver exceeded those limits. They may also show pressure from the company. Read more about the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and how they may affect a Texas truck accident claim.
A safety violation can help explain why a crash happened. Still, the claim needs proof that the unsafe act helped cause the crash and injuries.
An 18-wheeler can cause life-changing harm, even at a lower speed. Our firm handles serious truck accident injury claims involving brain and spinal injuries. We also handle broken bones, internal injuries, burns, amputations, and lasting disabilities.
Depending on the evidence, a Texas truck accident claim may seek compensation for:
When a truck crash is fatal, eligible family members may have a wrongful death truck accident claim. Money cannot replace a loved one. A claim can still seek accountability and address the losses caused by the death.

| $6 Million Fatal Commercial Vehicle Recovery. The insurance company denied responsibility. After the case was investigated and pursued, the available policy limits were paid. |
| $5.75 Million Wrongful Death Trucking Settlement We represented a family after a commercial truck entered oncoming traffic. Evidence developed during litigation showed negligence by the trucking company and a maintenance provider. |
| $5 Million Spinal Injury 18-Wheeler Recovery. The defense blamed our client for the crash. We developed the liability and injury evidence needed to obtain a substantial recovery. |
| Confidential Record Setting Fatal Truck Accident Settlement: The insurer blamed the person who was killed. The case ended with what the trucking company reported was the largest settlement it had ever paid. |

As soon as you can after receiving needed medical care. Early action helps your lawyer inspect the vehicles and find witnesses. It also helps preserve video, electronic data, and company records.
You should not give a recorded statement or accept a settlement before getting legal advice. The adjuster works for the insurer, not for you. A quick statement can be used to minimize your injuries or shift blame.
Payment may come from one or more at-fault parties and their insurers. That may include the driver or motor carrier. A maintenance shop, cargo company, vehicle owner, or other business may also share fault.
A driver’s accusation does not decide fault. Texas uses proportionate responsibility. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 33.001, the law generally bars recovery when a claimant is more than 50 percent at fault. At 50 percent or less, the award is reduced by that share of fault.
Texas law generally gives most people two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. The rule appears in Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003. Exceptions may change the deadline. Evidence may also disappear much sooner, so prompt advice is safer.
The value depends on fault and the injury. Medical needs, lost income, future harm, insurance, and proof also matter. A reliable lawyer should review the facts before giving an opinion. Online settlement calculators cannot measure these issues.
There is no upfront attorney fee. We work on a contingency fee. We are paid only if we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is free.
Yes, when serious injuries prevent travel, a home or hospital consultation may be available by appointment. We can also begin with a phone consultation.
The venue depends on the facts. Key issues include where the crash happened and where the defendants live. A company’s principal office or local agency may also matter. Many Conroe crashes involve Montgomery County. Still, the proper filing county must be decided on a case-by-case basis.
