Texas Truck Accident Attorneys – Fighting for Victims of Big Rig Crashes

Truck accidents are among the most devastating collisions on Texas roads. When an 80,000-pound commercial vehicle collides with a passenger car, the results can be catastrophic. If you or a loved one has been injured in a trucking accident in Austin or Central Texas, the attorneys at Gordon Law PLLC are ready to fight for your recovery.

Why Truck Accidents Are Different

Trucking accidents differ from typical car accidents because they often involve multiple liable parties, including:

  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company
  • Cargo loaders
  • Vehicle maintenance providers
  • Manufacturers of defective parts

These cases also involve both state and federal trucking regulations, such as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), which govern driver hours, maintenance, and load limits. When these rules are violated, it can lead to serious — and preventable — accidents.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Austin’s busy I-35 corridor sees heavy truck traffic daily. Common causes of truck accidents include:

  • Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
  • Distracted or impaired driving
  • Overloaded or unsecured cargo
  • Speeding or unsafe passing
  • Poor truck maintenance or brake failure

Victims of truck crashes often suffer severe injuries — including spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and long-term disability.

Your Rights Under Texas Law

In Texas, victims of trucking accidents can seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, such as:

  • Medical bills and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Mental anguish

Texas law also imposes a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, meaning you must file your lawsuit within two years of the accident.
