Why West Lake Hills truck accident victims call us first

Trucking companies know which law firms fight and which ones settle cheap. We fight. We pull the FMCSA safety record, the driver's qualification file, the maintenance logs, and the ELD data before you even meet with us. When the carrier knows we have their records, the settlement offer moves dramatically upward.

I-35, US-290, SH-130, SH-71, and Loop 1 (MoPac) all pass through or near West Lake Hills. Commercial truck traffic on these corridors is heavy. We know each stretch, the common failure points, and the evidence-preservation windows for each type of crash.

No fee unless we win -- how it works

You pay zero out of pocket. Our fee is 33% of the settlement if resolved before a lawsuit, 40% if a lawsuit is filed. Medical bills are deferred via Letter of Protection. If we do not recover money for you, you owe us nothing -- including no reimbursement of advanced litigation costs.

Client Results

“An 18-wheeler ran a red light on US-290 and totaled my truck. The carrier's lawyers were at the scene before I even left the hospital. This firm pulled the black-box data and the driver's ELD logs, found he was 3 hours past his legal limit, and we ended up with a settlement I never expected. These people know trucking law inside out.”

Carlos V. · Austin, TX

“My husband was killed when a jackknifed semi blocked I-35 near Georgetown. I had no idea what to do. From the first call they handled everything -- the carrier's insurance, the engineers, the wrongful death claim. The settlement covered everything and gave our family real security.”

Patricia W. · Round Rock, TX

“A delivery truck backed into me in a parking lot and FedEx tried to pin fault on me. The firm proved via GPS data from the truck that the driver never stopped or checked mirrors. Settlement was 4x what I was initially offered.”

Common Questions

How is a truck accident case different from a regular car accident case?
Truck accident cases involve federal regulations (FMCSA), multiple potentially liable parties (driver, carrier, freight broker, shipper, maintenance contractor, truck manufacturer), higher insurance policy limits ($750K minimum federally, often $1M-$5M), specialized evidence (ELD logs, black-box data, bills of lading, maintenance records, drug test results), and trucking companies that immediately deploy defense teams. You need a lawyer who specifically knows trucking law.
What evidence must be preserved immediately after a truck crash?
Time-critical evidence: (1) ELD data showing driver hours -- carriers only keep it 6 months. (2) Black-box / ECM data showing speed and braking at impact. (3) Dashcam and surveillance footage from nearby businesses -- overwritten in 30-90 days. (4) The truck itself before repairs. (5) Drug and alcohol test results. We issue a litigation hold the same day you call so the carrier cannot destroy anything.
Who is liable in a truck accident -- the driver or the trucking company?
Often both, plus additional parties. The driver is liable for negligent operation. The carrier is liable under respondeat superior for employee drivers, and often for negligent hiring/training/supervision even for contractors. The freight broker may share liability. The shipper is liable if cargo was improperly loaded. A truck part manufacturer may share liability if a defect contributed. We sue every party with exposure.
How much is my Austin truck accident case worth?
Truck accident settlements are typically much larger than car accident cases because injuries are more severe, policy limits are higher ($750K federal minimum up to $5M+), federal regulation violations create punitive damage exposure, and there are multiple liable parties. Non-catastrophic: $50,000-$500,000. Spinal, TBI, or catastrophic: $500,000-$5M+. Wrongful death: varies. Free case evaluation gives you a realistic range.
What do I do immediately after a truck accident in Austin?
1) Call 911 -- a serious truck crash requires police and often multiple agencies. 2) Do NOT move vehicles if possible -- the scene is evidence. 3) Photograph everything: truck plates, DOT number on the door, all vehicles, road conditions, cargo spill. 4) Get the driver's CDL number, carrier name, and insurance info. 5) Get witness contact info. 6) Go to the ER even if you feel OK. 7) Call our 24/7 line before speaking to the carrier's adjuster.
