Austin Truck Accident Lawyer — Practice Areas
Every type of truck and 18-wheeler accident case we handle across Austin and Central Texas. Free consultation. No fee unless we win. We answer 24/7.
Crash Types
18-Wheeler / Semi-Truck Accident
Hit by an 18-wheeler on I-35 between Austin and San Antonio, or on US-290 or SH-130? Commercial trucks weigh up to 80,000 lbs and the injuries are catastrophic. We send investigators to download the truck's ECM black box and secure the driver's logbook before the trucking company can destroy them.
Jackknife Truck Accident
When a trailer swings out at a 90-degree angle on MoPac or I-35, it can sweep across multiple lanes. Jackknife crashes are usually caused by speeding, hard braking, or improper loading. We prove driver and carrier negligence with the data the truck itself recorded.
Truck Rollover Accident
Top-heavy rigs roll on highway ramps and curves outside Austin, often from excessive speed or shifting cargo. Rollover crashes crush smaller vehicles. We bring in accident-reconstruction experts to identify every responsible party — driver, carrier, and loader.
Underride Accident
When a car slides under the side or rear of a trailer, the results are devastating. Missing or defective underride guards make these crashes deadly. We investigate FMCSA guard compliance and pursue the carrier and equipment manufacturer.
Tanker / Hazmat Truck Accident
Fuel, chemical, and hazmat tanker crashes add burns, spills, and toxic exposure to the usual trauma. These cases carry special federal regulations and higher insurance limits. We know how to access the full coverage available.
Special Cases
Tire Blowout & Tread Separation
A retread or worn truck tire that blows out at highway speed sends debris and an out-of-control rig into traffic. Federal rules require regular tire inspections. We obtain maintenance records to prove the carrier skipped them.
Blind-Spot / No-Zone Accident
Big rigs have large No-Zones on all four sides. When a trucker changes lanes on I-35 without checking, the car beside them gets crushed. We use dashcam and telematics data to show the driver failed to clear the blind spot.
Fatigued / Drowsy Driver Crash
Truckers pushed past federal Hours-of-Service limits fall asleep at the wheel. The Electronic Logging Device (ELD) records every hour driven. We subpoena the ELD and dispatch records to prove the driver — and the company that pressured them — broke the rules.
Overloaded / Unsecured Cargo Accident
Improperly loaded or overweight trailers shift, spill, or tip — and the cargo company shares the blame, not just the driver. We trace responsibility to every link in the chain, from the shipper to the loader to the carrier.
Brake Failure & Maintenance Defect
Loaded semis need far more stopping distance, and worn or out-of-adjustment brakes cause rear-end pileups on Austin's highways. We pull the truck's inspection and repair history to expose the maintenance failures that caused the crash.
Delivery / Box Truck Accident
Hit by an Amazon, FedEx, UPS, or box truck rushing a delivery in Austin? These drivers run tight routes and the companies often hide behind contractor arrangements. We identify the real corporate defendant and their insurance.
Serious Injury
Truck Accident Wrongful Death
You lost a family member in a truck crash. No amount of money brings them back, but Texas law lets surviving spouses, children, and parents recover damages from the driver and the trucking company. We handle these cases with compassion and relentless preparation.
