Elsa 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer

An 18-wheeler can weigh 20 to 30 times more than your car, so the injuries are far more severe — traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and wrongful death are common. You're also not facing one driver's insurance; you're facing a trucking company, its corporate lawyers, and a large commercial policy. These cases require fast evidence preservation and a lawyer who knows how to fight a national carrier. We do.

We represent victims with catastrophic injuries — traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury and paralysis, broken bones and crush injuries, internal injuries, severe burns, and amputations — as well as families who have lost a loved one in a wrongful-death claim. We bring in the medical and life-care experts needed to prove what these injuries will cost you for the rest of your life.

No — not before talking to us. A trucking insurer's first offer almost always comes before anyone knows the true extent of a brain or spinal injury, and accepting it usually means signing away your right to future care you'll need for years. Don't give a recorded statement and don't sign anything. Let Chris handle all communication so nothing you say is used to pay you less.

Because the most important evidence disappears quickly. Trucks carry black-box and electronic data that can be overwritten, the damaged truck can be repaired or scrapped, and dashcam and roadside-camera footage along corridors like I-2 and Expressway 83 is often erased within days. The sooner you call, the sooner we can send a legal hold and lock down the proof. In Texas you generally have two years to file, but the evidence won't wait that long.
