Common Causes of Commercial Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks and buses cause nearly 5,000 fatalities every year in accidents across the United States. These devastating crashes are often caused by:
- Truck driver fatigue – Truckers have long routes and tight delivery deadlines, which lead to drowsy or asleep driving. This impairs reaction times and judgment.
- Speeding – Trucks require much more time and distance to brake safely, but drivers attempt to make up time by speeding.
- Improper loading – Improperly loaded, overweight, or unbalanced cargo can cause rollovers, jackknifing, and loss of control.
- Poor truck maintenance – Brake failure, tire blowouts, and engine issues can all lead to catastrophic truck crashes.
- Distracted driving – Truckers eating, texting, and typing on devices take their eyes and attention off the road.
When commercial drivers, trucking companies, or part manufacturers are negligent and disregard safety regulations, it often leads to devastating collisions. Our Corpus Christi truck accident attorneys will determine exactly why your crash occurred and who is at fault.

Due to their massive size and weight, commercial trucks and buses cause some of the most catastrophic crash injuries, including:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries – The sudden impact of a collision can cause a concussion or bruising, bleeding, swelling, or oxygen loss in the brain tissue, leading to cognitive and functional disabilities.
- Spinal Cord Injuries – Fractured vertebra, herniated discs, pinched nerves, and damage to the spinal cord itself result in partial or total paralysis.
- Amputations – Crush injuries that sever limbs require prosthetic devices or reattachment surgeries.
- Internal Organ Damage – The crushing force can rupture organs like the liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, bladder, lungs, and heart, causing extensive internal bleeding.
- Burn Injuries – Fires resulting from spilled fuel or cargo materials ignite, burning skin severely.
Our truck accident law firm ensures you get treatment for every injury suffered so we can pursue just compensation. We work with highly respected medical experts to fully assess the immediate and long-term implications of the harm caused.

Because commercial vehicle collisions often inflict such traumatic physical and emotional harm, the experienced truck accident lawyers at Zinda Law Group build claims focused on securing full, fair compensation, including:
- Past and Future Medical Expenses – Any hospitalizations, surgeries, treatments, rehabilitation, at-home nursing care, and prescriptions required now or in the future.
- Lost Income – Any wages you lost due to missing work during recovery.
- Loss of Earning Capacity – If disabilities from the crash now prevent you from earning the same salary.
- Property Damage – Repairs or replacement cost for your vehicle.
- Pain and Suffering Damages – Compensation for any physical pain, discomfort, or emotional trauma suffered.
In wrongful death claims over $1 million and serious injury cases, we also pursue punitive damages against negligent drivers and trucking companies as punishment and to deter similar reckless conduct endangering others.

Being hurt in a horrific truck or bus collision leaves you with many questions about the claim process and your rights. Here we answer some key concerns of commercial vehicle accident victims and their families:
What compensation is available for my injuries?
You may recover damages for medical bills, lost income, disability, disfigurement, physical impairment, property loss, pain, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment, caretaking expenses, funeral costs, and more, depending on the case specifics.
What is the statute of limitations for truck accident claims in Texas?
Under Texas law, the deadline to file a truck accident lawsuit is two years from the date of the crash. Evidence fading over time makes it much more difficult to prove your case later, so contact our attorneys immediately.
How much is my commercial truck accident case worth?
Every commercial vehicle claim is unique in terms of fault, number and extent of injuries, types of losses, and responsible parties, so values vary widely. Seasoned attorneys consider case specifics first, but settlements commonly reach $1 million+ based on verdicts and past client recoveries.
Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault?
Yes, Texas follows modified comparative negligence laws, meaning you can still recover reduced damages based on a percentage of fault up to 51% attributed to you; above that threshold, it bars recovery.
Will my truck crash claim end up in court?
Likely not, as over 90% settle pre-trial, saving time and stress of testifying, though our firm has substantial trial experience. We fully prepare cases for litigation, which brings better settlements, and take them to court if offers don’t adequately cover losses.
How soon after my accident should I file a claim?
Immediately, early incident investigation helps secure fleeting evidence and witnesses’ recollections. Delay works against victims. Our lawyers will start working on your case right away while the evidence is fresh.
How long do commercial vehicle accident cases typically take?
Anywhere from a few months for simple injury claims with clear liability to several years if they involve catastrophic harm, numerous parties, extensive medical treatment, wage data reports, negotiations, court motions, and more. We pursue maximum compensation as quickly as circumstances reasonably allow.
Can I afford representation from a top truck accident law firm?
Yes. We provide No Win, No Fee representation, and you only get paid if you recover damages. And we front case costs rather than you paying out of pocket. So, pursuing compensation costs you nothing upfront.
