Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Wrecks
When a loaded truck weighing up to 80,000 pounds collides with passenger vehicles, catastrophic injuries and deaths often result. While each crash is unique, our investigation typically uncovers one of these acts of negligence by the truck driver or company:
- Speeding – Going too fast for conditions or speed limits
- Distracted Driving – Eating, texting, or otherwise diverting attention
- Fatigued Driving – Drowsy or falling asleep at the wheel
- Improper Cargo Loading – Overweight, unbalanced, or shifting loads
- Poor Truck Maintenance – Brake, tire, and engine failures
- Driving Under the Influence – Impaired by alcohol or drugs
- Failure to Obey Traffic Laws – Following too closely or disobeying lights, signs
As your trusted Temple truck accident law firm, we determine precisely why your crash occurred and who is legally responsible so they are held fully accountable.

When multi-ton trucks smash into regular vehicles, the traumatic physical injuries inflicted can be catastrophic and permanent, including:
- Spinal Cord Injuries – Severed or damaged vertebrae and discs lead to mobility disabilities.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries – Concussions, bleeding, and swelling of brain tissue impair cognition.
- Internal Organ Damage – Crushed chest and abdomen leaves organs ruptured or bruised.
- Amputations – Crush injuries sever arms or legs, which may require prosthetics or reattachment surgery.
- Broken Bones – Fractured legs, arms, hips, ribs, or skull.
- Severe Burns – Ignition of vehicle fuel or chemicals causes disfiguring, painful burns

Being severely harmed by a negligent truck driver leaves crash victims and families overwhelmed. Here we answer some key concerns navigating potential injury claims:
How much is my commercial truck accident case worth?
Values vary widely based on the severity of injuries, losses, and responsible parties. But minimum liability policies of $750K – $1M are common, and our attorneys have a proven record of 7 and 8-figure verdicts and settlements based on case specifics.
What compensation am I entitled to recover?
You may pursue damages for medical bills, lost income, decreased earning potential, vehicle repairs, disability costs, disfigurement, physical impairment, funeral costs, loss of companionship and consortium, pain and suffering, plus punitive damages in applicable cases.
What is the statute of limitations for filing my Temple truck accident claim?
In Texas, you typically have two years from the date of a crash to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Securing evidence and witnesses’ recollections gets harder over time, so contact our attorneys immediately after any collision.
Can I still recover damages if I am partially at fault?
Yes, Texas follows the modified comparative negligence doctrine, meaning you can still recover reduced compensation if less than 51% is found at fault. If responsibility exceeds that threshold, however, you are barred from recovering damages.
How soon after my crash should I file a claim?
Right away, early incident investigation helps secure important yet fleeting evidence like skid marks, debris, damaged guardrails, weather conditions, plus eyewitness observations. Delay works against victims.
How long does it take to resolve commercial truck accident cases?
Anywhere from several months for straightforward claims to a year or longer, depending on factors like the number of involved parties, nature of liability disputes, the extent of crash injuries, lost income data reports, negotiating timeframes, and whether court motions or a trial are necessary. But our firm always pursues maximum compensation as quickly as realistically possible.
Can I afford an attorney from a prestigious personal injury law firm?
Yes. We take all cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning no upfront payments. We only get paid if you recover damages, allowing accident victims access to aggressive legal advocates regardless of financial situation after devastating crashes.
