Trucking Accident Lawyer In El Paso & New Braunfels

Why Truck Accidents Are Different

Commercial truck accidents are not like regular car accidents. They involve complex federal regulations, massive insurance policies, and sophisticated defense teams hired by trucking companies.

Federal Regulations

Truck drivers and companies must comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), including hours of service, maintenance requirements, and driver qualifications. Violations can prove negligence.

Extensive Investigation Required

We must analyze driver logs, maintenance records, black box data, company hiring practices, and compliance history to build your case. Evidence disappears quickly if not preserved immediately.

Multiple Liable Parties

Liability may extend beyond the driver to the trucking company, cargo loaders, maintenance providers, truck manufacturers, and even third-party logistics companies.

Higher Insurance Policies

Commercial trucks are required to carry $750,000 to $5 million in insurance. These larger policies mean insurance companies fight harder to deny or minimize claims.

Severe Injuries

Due to the massive size and weight of commercial trucks (up to 80,000 lbs), accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, permanent disabilities, or death—requiring substantial compensation.

Aggressive Defense Teams

Trucking companies hire lawyers and investigators immediately after an accident to protect their interests. You need an equally aggressive attorney on your side.
