Truck accident claims in Texas and Oklahoma
Commercial truck wrecks involve federal safety rules, multiple potentially liable parties, and evidence that can disappear fast. We move to preserve it and identify every source of coverage. Free case evaluation.
Why truck cases are different
Why are truck accident claims different from car accidents?
Commercial trucks are governed by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules, and liability can extend beyond the driver to the motor carrier, the truck's owner, a maintenance provider, or a shipper. Key evidence — logbooks, electronic logging data, maintenance records, and dashcam footage — can be lost if not preserved quickly, so a prompt spoliation/preservation demand matters. Coverage limits on commercial policies are usually far higher than on personal auto.
What we pursue early
- Preservation of driver logs, ELD data, and maintenance records
- The carrier's and driver's commercial coverage layers
- Whether hours-of-service or maintenance rules were violated
- All potentially liable parties, not just the driver

Frequently asked questions
- Do I pay a fee if there is no recovery?
- In appropriate cases these matters are handled on a contingent fee: the attorney fee is a percentage of any recovery, and no attorney fee is charged if there is no recovery. Case expenses are separate and are addressed in a written fee agreement.
- Who can be responsible in a truck accident?
- Beyond the driver, the motor carrier, truck owner, maintenance provider, or shipper may share liability depending on the facts.
- Why act quickly after a truck wreck?
- Critical evidence like logs and ELD data can be lost. A prompt preservation demand helps protect the claim.
