Truck Accident Lawyer

Maximum Compensation For Victims

Fighting Billion-Dollar

Corporations After Life-Changing Injuries

Truck accident victims face unique challenges that car accident cases don’t involve. You’re not just dealing with another driver’s insurance—you’re facing corporate legal teams, federal regulations, destroyed evidence, and insurers who deny liability while you’re still in the hospital.

Common Obstacles After Truck Crashes:

• Trucking companies immediately dispatch investigators to blame you for the accident
• Critical evidence like black box data and driver logs disappears within days
• Multiple insurance companies deny responsibility while pointing fingers at each other
• Medical bills exceed $100,000+ while you’re unable to work for months
• Corporate lawyers pressure you to accept inadequate settlements before understanding full injury extent
• Federal regulations and interstate commerce laws complicate your legal rights
• Catastrophic injuries require lifetime care that initial offers won’t cover

Many Austin truck accident victims turn to Djiba Law after experiencing the challenges of fighting billion-dollar trucking corporations alone. We level the playing field with immediate investigation, expert resources, and trial-ready representation.

Common Questions

From Austin Truck Crash Victims

How much does a truck accident lawyer in Austin cost?

Truck accident attorneys typically work on contingency, meaning no upfront fees. The lawyer receives a percentage only if you win, usually 33-40% of the settlement or verdict.

How long does a truck accident case take in Austin?

Complex truck accident cases typically take 12-24 months due to extensive investigation, multiple liable parties, and high settlement values. Simple cases may resolve in 6-12 months.

What makes truck accident cases different from regular car accidents?

Truck crashes involve federal regulations, commercial insurance policies with higher limits, multiple defendants, more severe injuries, and sophisticated corporate defense teams requiring specialized legal expertise.

What evidence do I need after a truck accident?

Gather police reports, photos, witness contact information, and medical records. However, critical evidence like black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records must be legally preserved immediately.

Can I sue the trucking company or just the driver?

Often both. Trucking companies are liable for negligent hiring, inadequate training, poor maintenance, and Hours of Service violations even when drivers are independent contractors.

What if the truck driver says I caused the accident?

Texas comparative negligence law allows recovery even if you’re partially at fault, as long as you’re less than 51% responsible. We counter false liability claims with expert analysis.

How much is my truck accident case worth?

Values depend on injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, and degree of trucking company negligence. Catastrophic injury cases often exceed policy limits requiring pursuit of multiple defendants.

How Our Truck Accident Practice

Serves Austin Victims

18-Wheeler Accident Attorney

Fighting Interstate Carriers And National Trucking Companies

Semi-truck and tractor-trailer collisions on I-35, Highway 183, and Loop 360 cause catastrophic injuries due to massive vehicle weight and momentum. Our 18-wheeler accident lawyers immediately secure electronic logging device data, Hours of Service records, and driver qualification files before trucking companies claim spoliation. These crashes often involve multiple defendants, including the driver, trucking company, trailer owner, cargo loading company, and maintenance providers. Interstate commerce regulations add complexity that demands attorneys experienced with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules.

Commercial Vehicle Crash Lawyer

Pursuing Compensation From Delivery And Fleet Companies

Delivery trucks, box trucks, and commercial fleet vehicles operated by Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and local Austin businesses cause serious accidents when companies prioritize speed over safety. Our attorneys investigate corporate policies that encourage reckless driving, fail to provide adequate driver training, and defer maintenance. Commercial vehicle accidents require an understanding of commercial insurance policies, federal DOT regulations, and Texas transportation laws. Many Austin truck accident victims don’t realize multiple insurance policies may apply, including primary liability, excess coverage, and umbrella policies.

Truck Driver Negligence Claims

Holding Reckless Commercial Drivers Accountable

Distracted driving, speeding, aggressive maneuvers, drug or alcohol impairment, and fatigue cause preventable truck accidents throughout Travis County. Our truck accident attorneys obtain driver’s cell phone records, toxicology results, previous traffic violations, and employment history to prove negligence. Many truck drivers operate under intense pressure to meet unrealistic delivery deadlines, leading to dangerous shortcuts and Hours of Service violations. We document how trucking company policies contribute to driver negligence, establishing corporate liability beyond individual driver error.

Trucking Company Liability

Exposing Corporate Negligence And Safety Violations

Trucking companies must properly screen, hire, train, and supervise drivers while maintaining vehicles in safe operating condition. Our attorneys subpoena company safety records, previous accident reports, FMCSA compliance audits, and internal communications showing knowledge of safety problems. We investigate whether companies pressured drivers to falsify logbooks, skipped required drug testing, or ignored maintenance schedules to maximize profits.

Hours Of Service Violation Cases

Fighting Fatigue-Related Truck Accidents

Federal regulations limit commercial drivers to 11 hours driving within a 14-hour window, with mandatory rest breaks and maximum weekly hours. Driver fatigue causes thousands of preventable accidents when trucking companies pressure drivers to violate these rules. Our Austin truck crash lawyers analyze electronic logging devices, paper logbooks, and fuel receipts to prove Hours of Service violations. Violations create a presumption of negligence and allow punitive damages against trucking companies that knowingly endangered public safety for profit.

Wrongful Death Truck Accident Claims

Pursuing Justice For Families Who Lost Loved Ones

When truck crashes kill family members, surviving spouses, children, and parents face devastating emotional and financial loss. Our wrongful death attorneys pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, loss of companionship, and mental anguish. We handle these emotionally charged cases with compassion while aggressively pursuing maximum damages from responsible parties. Wrongful death claims must be filed within strict deadlines, and early legal representation preserves critical evidence.
