When an 80,000-pound commercial truck collides with your vehicle, the consequences can be catastrophic. Most crashes result from preventable causes that stem from negligence. Our team has decades of experience pursuing compensation for clients harmed by truck accidents involving:
Exhausted truck drivers pose a severe risk on Austin's busy highways, especially during early morning hours on I-35 and US-183. When truckers push beyond their limits to meet tight deadlines, they can exceed safe operating limits and cause devastating accidents.
Alcohol and drug use among commercial drivers remains a serious concern on Austin's roads. Despite strict regulations and testing requirements, impaired driving continues to be a common cause of catastrophic truck accidents in the Austin area.
From checking navigation systems to texting while driving, distractions behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler can be deadly. Truck drivers sometimes stream videos or use social media while operating their vehicles, leading to catastrophic crashes that could have been prevented.
When truck drivers speed or drive aggressively, particularly in Austin's notorious traffic congestion, they put everyone at risk. Depending on how fast it’s going, a fully loaded truck needs the length of up to two football fields to stop, making speeding especially dangerous.
Unbalanced or unsecured cargo can cause trucks to jackknife or roll over when executing turns on Austin's busy highway interchanges and exit ramps. These types of accidents often involve multiple parties, including loading companies and shipping contractors, all of whom may share liability for the damages caused.
Neglected truck maintenance turns these massive vehicles into highway hazards. Regular inspections of brakes, tires, and steering systems are crucial for safety, but many companies cut corners. When maintenance is ignored, a fully loaded truck becomes a deadly weapon on Austin's highways.
Austin's sudden weather changes can create hazardous conditions that require extreme caution from truck drivers. When truckers fail to adjust their speed during sudden downpours, it can lead to devastating hydroplane accidents on major highways. These accidents often involve complex questions of liability, as drivers must exercise appropriate caution based on weather conditions.
The sheer size and weight of commercial trucks make accidents particularly devastating for occupants of passenger vehicles. Here's what we commonly see in truck accident cases:

First, ensure everyone's safety and call 911. Document the scene by taking photos if it's safe to do so, but avoid discussing fault with anyone. Seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine. Then, call Omar Ochoa Law Firm at (956) 253-3121 to protect your rights.
Truck accident cases may take months or years to resolve. Complex cases or those involving multiple parties may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
Texas Transportation Code § 644.051 adopts federal safety standards, while Title 37 sets specific weight and size limits for commercial vehicles. Commercial drivers must also hold valid CDLs. Violations of these regulations can strengthen your injury claim.
Under Texas law, you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as you're not more than 50% responsible. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Let our attorneys evaluate your case to protect your right to recovery.
Don't accept a denial without speaking to us first. Trucking companies often initially deny claims, but we can investigate to uncover evidence of negligence, including maintenance records, driver logs, and violation of safety regulations to establish liability.
Insurance claim denials are not final. We can appeal the denial by gathering additional evidence, challenging their reasoning, and presenting a stronger case. Contact Omar Ochoa Law Firm immediately if your claim has been denied.
