Expert McAllen Truck Accident Lawyer

The Critical Difference in Truck Accident Litigation

A crash involving a semi-truck or 18-wheeler is fundamentally different from a standard car accident. These cases often involve severe, life-altering injuries and are governed by complex Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. A skilled **McAllen Truck Accident Lawyer** must understand HOS (Hours-of-Service) logs, maintenance records, and the multiple parties who may be liable, including the driver, the trucking company, and the cargo loaders.

Investigating Trucking Company Negligence

We immediately launch an investigation to secure critical evidence before it can be destroyed or altered. Key factors we examine include:

• Driver Fatigue: Violations of mandatory rest periods (HOS violations).
• Improper Maintenance: Failures of brakes, tires, or lights.
• Improper Loading: Shifting or overloaded cargo causing loss of control.
• Lack of Training: Unqualified drivers placed behind the wheel of massive vehicles.

Recovering Maximum Damages for Catastrophic Injuries

Due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks, the resulting injuries are often catastrophic. We fight to secure compensation that accounts for lifetime care needs, including:

• Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
• Multiple Fractures Requiring Extensive Surgery
• Disfigurement and Permanent Disability
