Trucking Accidents: When Corporate Negligence Causes Catastrophic Harm

Every day, thousands of commercial trucks travel across Texas highways — carrying essential goods, but also posing enormous risks. When an 80,000-pound semi-truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are rarely minor. Trucking accidents often lead to life-changing injuries, immense property damage, and heartbreaking loss.

At The Law Office of Bryan Rodriguez, we understand how devastating these accidents can be. Victims are often left facing mounting medical bills, months of recovery, and pressure from trucking companies that prioritize profit over accountability. Our mission is to stand up for injured Texans and hold negligent corporations responsible for the harm they cause.

Why Trucking Accidents Are More Complex

Trucking collisions are vastly different from ordinary car crashes. The sheer size and weight of these vehicles make collisions far more destructive — and the legal issues more complicated.

A trucking accident often involves multiple liable parties, such as:

• The truck driver, who may have been fatigued, distracted, or impaired

• The trucking company, responsible for maintenance, hiring, and training

• The cargo loaders, if improperly secured freight contributed to the crash

• The manufacturer, if a vehicle defect caused equipment failure

In addition, truck drivers and carriers must follow strict federal and state safety regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). When these rules are violated — such as exceeding driving-hour limits or skipping maintenance checks — negligence becomes even clearer.

These cases also tend to involve commercial insurance policies worth millions, meaning large companies will do everything they can to minimize payouts. That’s why it’s critical to have a skilled attorney who can level the playing field.

Common Causes of Trucking Accidents

Trucking accidents are rarely random events — they are often the result of carelessness, unsafe policies, or systemic corporate pressure. Some of the most common causes include:

• Driver fatigue from exceeding hours-of-service limits

• Distracted driving, such as texting or using GPS while driving

• Improperly loaded cargo, which can shift and cause rollovers

• Mechanical failures, including brake or tire blowouts due to poor maintenance

• Speeding or reckless driving to meet tight delivery schedules

Each of these causes can result in catastrophic injuries, including spinal cord damage, brain trauma, amputations, or even wrongful death.

The Human Cost of a Trucking Accident

Behind every crash statistic is a person — a family — whose life has been changed forever. Victims often face long hospital stays, loss of income, and permanent disability. For families who lose a loved one, no amount of compensation can replace what was taken, but holding negligent parties accountable can bring closure and financial relief.

At The Law Office of Bryan Rodriguez, we treat every case with compassion and respect. We know you’re not just dealing with an insurance claim — you’re fighting to rebuild your life.

How a Texas Truck Accident Lawyer Can Help

Taking on a trucking company alone is nearly impossible. Their lawyers and insurance adjusters are trained to protect corporate interests — not victims. Having an experienced truck accident attorney can make all the difference.

When you work with The Law Office of Bryan Rodriguez, we will:

• Investigate the crash and identify every responsible party

• Secure critical evidence, including driver logs and black box data

• Consult experts to reconstruct the accident and prove liability

• Negotiate assertively with insurers to pursue maximum compensation

• Take your case to trial if a fair settlement isn’t offered

We don’t back down from large corporations — we hold them accountable.
