Commercial trucking companies dispatch investigators to crash scenes within hours. Alam Law Firm responds just as quickly — preserving evidence before it disappears and building the strongest possible case for you.
Of large-truck crash fatalities involve occupants of other vehicles — not the truck driver (FMCSA)
Collisions involving 18-wheelers and commercial trucks are among the most devastating accidents on Texas roads. A fully loaded commercial truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds — roughly 20 times the weight of a passenger vehicle — meaning that even at moderate speeds, these crashes cause catastrophic or fatal injuries to those in smaller vehicles.
Unlike a standard car accident, trucking cases involve multiple layers of liability: the driver, the carrier, the cargo company, and sometimes the vehicle manufacturer. Critical evidence — electronic logging device (ELD) data, black box records, maintenance logs, and hours-of-service documentation — can be altered or destroyed quickly. Alam Law Firm sends a preservation demand to the trucking company immediately and investigates every contributing factor.
The stakes in commercial truck cases are high, and so are the potential recoveries. When trucking companies refuse to settle fairly, we litigate in the Harris County Civil Courthouse — including the 11th, 55th, 61st, 80th, and 127th District Courts — courts we know and regularly appear in. We fight for full compensation including current and future medical care, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and long-term disability costs.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Federal hours-of-service regulations exist to prevent fatigued driving. When truckers violate these rules, their employers often share liability. We subpoena ELD and logbook records.
Shifting loads destabilize trucks and cause jackknife accidents, cargo spills, and rollovers. We investigate the cargo company and loading personnel for violations.
Federal law requires regular truck inspections. Carriers that defer maintenance to save money face serious liability when their negligence results in a crash.
Commercial drivers are held to a higher standard under federal law. We pursue full damages when a trucker's distraction, impairment, or reckless conduct causes harm.
When faulty tires, defective brakes, or other equipment failures contribute to a crash, we pursue product liability claims against the manufacturer in addition to the carrier.
Trucking companies that pressure drivers to violate safety rules or who negligently hire unqualified drivers bear direct responsibility for the resulting harm.
