Experienced Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney
Commercial vehicles include any type of vehicle used commercially or for business purposes. Texas law allows accident victims to seek compensation if negligence plays a role in a crash involving a commercial vehicle, but these cases can be difficult to handle alone.

How Commercial Vehicle Accidents Happen
Most crashes involving trucks or delivery vehicles often result from preventable circumstances. Common causes include:
- Driver fatigue from exceeding legal hour limits
- Insufficient vehicle maintenance and safety inspections
- Distracted driving while managing dispatch communications
- Aggressive driving due to tight delivery schedules
- Inadequate driver training and supervision
These incidents may cause more severe injuries than standard car accidents due to the sheer size and weight of commercial vehicles. They also involve complex medical treatments, extended recovery periods and significant financial strain on families.
Why Legal Representation Matters
Multiple parties may share liability after a commercial vehicle accident – the driver, business, delivery company, trucking company, maintenance providers or even cargo loaders. Insurance companies often move quickly to protect their interests, which is why you should take immediate legal action to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
We bring proven experience to commercial vehicle accident cases through:
- Thorough investigation of accident scenes and company records
- Access to accident reconstruction specialists and industry experts
- Deep understanding of state and federal trucking regulations
- Track record of holding negligent parties accountable
- Direct communication with insurance companies on your behalf
- Careful documentation of all damages and future medical needs
Our contingency fee structure means you pay nothing unless we recover money for you.
