18-Wheeler Accidents in Culberson County: Your Complete Legal Guide

If you or a loved one has been injured in an 18-wheeler accident in Culberson County, you’re facing one of the most complex and devastating experiences of your life. The massive size and weight of commercial trucks mean that accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, overwhelming medical bills, and life-altering consequences. At Attorney911, we’ve been fighting for truck accident victims across Texas for over 25 years, and we understand exactly what you’re going through.

Every year, thousands of 18-wheeler accidents occur on Culberson County’s highways and rural roads. The aftermath can be overwhelming—pain, medical appointments, insurance calls, and the uncertainty of how you’ll pay for everything. But here’s what most people don’t know: trucking companies have teams of lawyers working right now to protect their interests. You need someone on your side who knows how to fight back.

Why Culberson County Trucking Accidents Are Different

Culberson County presents unique challenges for trucking safety and accident cases:

I-10 Corridor: The primary east-west freight route through Texas, I-10 carries massive truck traffic through Culberson County. The stretch between Van Horn and Sierra Blanca sees particularly heavy commercial vehicle volume, with trucks hauling everything from oilfield equipment to consumer goods.
Oil and Gas Industry: Culberson County sits at the western edge of the Permian Basin, one of the most active oil and gas regions in the world. This means significant truck traffic hauling drilling equipment, fracking materials, and petroleum products. Oilfield trucking creates unique hazards including oversized loads, specialized equipment, and drivers working long hours in remote areas.
Remote Rural Roads: Culberson County’s vast rural areas mean many trucks travel on two-lane roads with limited shoulders, poor lighting, and wildlife crossing hazards. These conditions make accidents more likely and emergency response more challenging.
Extreme Weather: The county experiences temperature extremes, high winds, and occasional flash flooding—all of which create dangerous driving conditions for large trucks. The combination of high-profile trailers and West Texas winds can lead to rollover accidents.
Border Proximity: Culberson County’s location near the Texas-Mexico border means additional truck traffic from cross-border commerce. While not as busy as El Paso or Laredo crossings, the county sees trucks entering from Mexico and traveling to interior distribution centers.
Limited Emergency Services: The county’s low population density means longer response times for emergency services. When accidents occur on rural roads, help may take significantly longer to arrive, potentially worsening injuries.

Common Types of 18-Wheeler Accidents in Culberson County

Jackknife Accidents on I-10

Jackknife accidents are particularly common on I-10 through Culberson County. These occur when the trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, often blocking multiple lanes of traffic. The long, straight stretches of I-10 encourage high speeds, while sudden traffic slowdowns near Van Horn or Sierra Blanca can catch truck drivers off guard.

Causes in Culberson County:

Sudden braking on high-speed stretches
Empty or lightly loaded trailers (more prone to swing)
Improper braking technique on long downgrades
Wind gusts affecting trailer stability
Driver fatigue from long hauls

Evidence we gather:

Skid mark analysis to determine braking pattern
ECM data showing speed and brake application
Cargo manifest to determine load weight
Weather records for wind conditions

Rollover Accidents on Rural Roads

Culberson County’s rural roads present significant rollover risks. Many county roads have sharp curves, steep grades, or soft shoulders that can cause trucks to tip over, especially when carrying heavy or uneven loads.

Common locations:

Sharp curves on FM 2185 or FM 3078
Steep grades near the Apache Mountains
Intersections with poor visibility
Roads with soft shoulders or drop-offs

Causes:

Speeding on curves
Improperly secured or unevenly distributed cargo
Liquid cargo “slosh” shifting center of gravity
Overcorrection after tire blowouts or road departures
Poor road design or maintenance

Rear-End Collisions at Traffic Stops

Rear-end collisions are a major concern in Culberson County, particularly at traffic stops and weigh stations. The county has several weigh stations and inspection points where trucks must slow down or stop, creating opportunities for rear-end collisions.

High-risk locations:

I-10 weigh stations near Van Horn
Traffic signals in Van Horn
Highway construction zones
Areas where speed limits change suddenly

Why they’re so dangerous:

80,000-pound trucks require 525 feet to stop at 65 mph
Passenger vehicles need only 300 feet to stop
Trucks often follow too closely
Drivers may be distracted or fatigued

Underride Accidents on Rural Highways

Underride accidents occur when a passenger vehicle slides underneath a truck’s trailer. These are among the deadliest truck accidents, often resulting in decapitation or catastrophic head injuries.

Culberson County risks:

Poor lighting on rural roads
Lack of underride guards on some trailers
High speeds on two-lane highways
Sudden stops by trucks pulling out from side roads

Types:

Rear underride: Vehicle strikes back of trailer
Side underride: Vehicle impacts side of trailer during lane changes or turns

Tire Blowout Accidents

Tire blowouts are particularly dangerous in Culberson County due to the combination of extreme heat, long highway stretches, and remote locations.

Why they’re common in Culberson County:

Extreme summer temperatures (100°F+)
Long distances between service stations
Heavy loads from oilfield equipment
Poor tire maintenance
Road debris on rural roads

Most dangerous blowouts:

Steer tire blowouts (front tires) cause immediate loss of control
Dual wheel blowouts can cause trailer swing
Blowouts on curves or bridges increase rollover risk

Wide Turn Accidents in Van Horn

Wide turn accidents occur when trucks swing wide before making a right turn, creating a gap that other vehicles may enter. These are particularly dangerous in Van Horn where trucks make turns at intersections.

Common locations:

Intersections in Van Horn
Truck stops and fueling stations
Highway exits and entrances
Areas with limited turning space

Why they happen:

Trucks need space to complete turns
Drivers may swing wide to avoid curbs or signs
Poor visibility of trailer tracking
Inadequate mirror checks

Brake Failure Accidents on Mountain Grades

Brake failures are particularly dangerous on the long downgrades in Culberson County. The combination of heavy loads, steep grades, and high speeds can cause brake systems to overheat and fail.

High-risk areas:

Long downgrades on I-10
Mountain passes in the Apache Mountains
Steep county roads

Common causes:

Poor brake maintenance
Worn brake pads or shoes
Improper brake adjustment
Overheated brakes from excessive use
Air brake system leaks

The Critical 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Protocol

In 18-wheeler accident cases, evidence disappears FAST. Trucking companies have rapid-response teams that begin protecting their interests within hours of an accident. If you don’t act quickly, critical evidence will be lost forever.

Why 48 Hours Matters

Evidence Type	Destruction Risk
ECM/Black Box Data	Overwrites in 30 days or with new driving events
ELD Data	May be retained only 6 months
Dashcam Footage	Often deleted within 7-14 days
Surveillance Video	Business cameras typically overwrite in 7-30 days
Witness Memory	Fades significantly within weeks
Physical Evidence	Vehicle may be repaired, sold, or scrapped
Drug/Alcohol Tests	Must be conducted within specific windows

The Spoliation Letter: Your First Line of Defense

At Attorney911, we send spoliation letters within 24-48 hours of being retained. This formal legal notice demands that the trucking company preserve ALL evidence related to your accident.

What our spoliation letter demands:

Electronic Data:

Engine Control Module (ECM) / Electronic Control Unit (ECU) data
Event Data Recorder (EDR) data
Electronic Logging Device (ELD) records
GPS and telematics data
Dashcam and forward-facing camera footage
Dispatch communications and messaging
Cell phone records and text messages
Qualcomm or fleet management system data

Driver Records:

Complete Driver Qualification File
Employment application and resume
Background check and driving record
Previous employer verification
Medical certification and exam records
Drug and alcohol test results (pre-employment and random)
Training records and certifications
Previous accident and violation history
Performance reviews and disciplinary records

Vehicle Records:

Maintenance and repair records
Inspection reports (pre-trip, post-trip, annual)
Out-of-service orders and repairs
Tire records and replacement history
Brake inspection and adjustment records
Parts purchase and installation records

Company Records:

Hours of service records for 6 months prior
Dispatch logs and trip records
Bills of lading and cargo documentation
Insurance policies
Safety policies and procedures
Training curricula
Hiring and supervision policies

Physical Evidence:

The truck and trailer themselves
Failed or damaged components
Cargo and securement devices
Tire remnants if blowout involved

ECM/Black Box Data: The Objective Truth

Commercial trucks have electronic systems that continuously record operational data—similar to an airplane’s black box but for trucks.

What ECM/EDR data can prove:

Speed Before Crash: Proves speeding or excessive speed for conditions
Brake Application: Shows when and how hard brakes were applied
Throttle Position: Reveals if driver was accelerating or coasting
Following Distance: Calculated from speed and deceleration data
Hours of Service: Proves fatigue and HOS violations
GPS Location: Confirms route and timing
Fault Codes: May reveal known mechanical issues driver ignored

Why this data wins cases:
ECM/ELD data is objective and tamper-resistant. It directly contradicts driver claims of “I wasn’t speeding” or “I hit my brakes immediately.” This data has led to multi-million dollar verdicts in trucking cases.

FMCSA Regulations: The Legal Foundation of Your Case

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates ALL commercial motor vehicles operating in interstate commerce. These regulations establish the standard of care that trucking companies and drivers must follow. When they violate these rules, they create dangerous conditions that cause accidents.

The 6 Critical Parts of FMCSA Regulations

Part	Title	Key Requirements
Part 390	General Applicability	Defines who regulations apply to, record retention
Part 391	Driver Qualification	Who can drive, medical requirements, training
Part 392	Driving Rules	Safe operation, fatigue, drugs, alcohol
Part 393	Vehicle Safety	Equipment, cargo securement, brakes, lights
Part 395	Hours of Service	How long drivers can drive, required rest
Part 396	Inspection & Maintenance	Vehicle upkeep, inspections, records

Hours of Service Violations: The #1 Cause of Fatigue-Related Crashes

FMCSA regulations limit how long truck drivers can operate to prevent fatigue-related accidents. These are among the most commonly violated regulations in trucking accidents.

Property-Carrying Drivers (Most 18-Wheelers):

Rule	Requirement	Violation Consequence
11-Hour Driving Limit	Cannot drive more than 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty	Fatigue-related accidents
14-Hour Duty Window	Cannot drive beyond 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty	Driver exhaustion
30-Minute Break	Must take 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving	Impaired alertness
60/70-Hour Limit	Cannot drive after 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days	Cumulative fatigue
34-Hour Restart	Can restart 60/70-hour clock with 34 consecutive hours off	Inadequate recovery
10-Hour Off-Duty	Must have minimum 10 consecutive hours off duty before driving	Insufficient rest

Why these violations matter:
Fatigued driving causes approximately 31% of fatal truck crashes. Drivers who violate these rules are too tired to react safely. When we prove HOS violations, we prove the trucking company knew or should have known the driver was fatigued.

Driver Qualification: The Foundation of Safety

FMCSA requires trucking companies to thoroughly vet and monitor their drivers.

Minimum Driver Qualifications (49 CFR § 391.11):
A person shall not drive a commercial motor vehicle unless they:

Are at least 21 years old (interstate) or 18 years old (intrastate)
Can read and speak English sufficiently
Can safely operate the CMV and cargo type
Are physically qualified under § 391.41
Have a valid commercial motor vehicle operator’s license (CDL)
Have completed a driver’s road test or equivalent
Are not disqualified under § 391.15 (violations, suspensions)
Have completed required entry-level driver training

Driver Qualification File Requirements (49 CFR § 391.51):
Motor carriers MUST maintain a Driver Qualification (DQ) File for EVERY driver containing:

Employment Application (completed per § 391.21)
Motor Vehicle Record (from state licensing authority)
Road Test Certificate (or equivalent documentation)
Medical Examiner’s Certificate (current, valid – max 2 years)
Annual Driving Record Review (must be conducted and documented)
Previous Employer Inquiries (3-year driving history investigation)
Drug & Alcohol Test Records

Why this matters for your case:
If the trucking company failed to maintain a proper DQ file, failed to check the driver’s background, or hired a driver with a poor safety record, they can be held liable for negligent hiring. We subpoena these records in every trucking case.

Vehicle Safety: Preventing Mechanical Failures

FMCSA regulations establish strict equipment and maintenance standards.

Brake Requirements (49 CFR § 393.40-55):

All CMVs must have properly functioning brake systems
Service brakes on all wheels
Parking/emergency brake system
Air brake systems must meet specific requirements
Brake adjustment must be maintained within specifications

Lighting Requirements (49 CFR § 393.11-26):

Headlamps, tail lamps, stop lamps
Clearance and side marker lamps
Reflectors and retroreflective sheeting
Turn signal lamps

Cargo Securement (49 CFR § 393.100-136):

Cargo must be contained, immobilized, or secured
Must prevent leaking, spilling, blowing, or falling
Must prevent shifting that affects vehicle stability
Working load limit must be at least 50% of cargo weight for loose cargo
Specific requirements by cargo type (logs, metal coils, machinery, etc.)

Why these violations matter:
Brake problems are a factor in approximately 29% of large truck crashes. Cargo securement violations cause rollovers, jackknives, and spill accidents. When we prove these violations, we prove the trucking company failed to maintain safe equipment.

Catastrophic Injuries from Culberson County Trucking Accidents

The physics of 18-wheeler accidents make catastrophic injuries the norm, not the exception.

Size and Weight Disparity:

Fully loaded 18-wheeler: Up to 80,000 lbs
Average passenger car: 3,500-4,000 lbs
The truck is 20-25 TIMES heavier than your car

Impact Force:

Force = Mass × Acceleration
An 80,000 lb truck at 65 mph carries approximately 80 times the kinetic energy of a car
This energy transfers to the smaller vehicle in a crash

Stopping Distance:

18-wheeler at 65 mph needs ~525 feet to stop (nearly 2 football fields)
Car at 65 mph needs ~300 feet to stop
This 40% longer stopping distance means trucks cannot avoid obstacles as quickly

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

What It Is:
TBI occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. In 18-wheeler accidents, the extreme forces cause the brain to impact the inside of the skull.

Severity Levels:

Level	Symptoms	Prognosis
Mild (Concussion)	Confusion, headache, brief loss of consciousness	Usually recovers, but may have lasting effects
Moderate	Extended unconsciousness, memory problems, cognitive deficits	Significant recovery possible with rehabilitation
Severe	Extended coma, permanent cognitive impairment	Lifelong disability, may require 24/7 care

Common Symptoms:

Headaches, dizziness, nausea
Memory loss, confusion
Difficulty concentrating
Mood changes, depression, anxiety
Sleep disturbances
Sensory problems (vision, hearing, taste)
Speech difficulties
Personality changes

Long-Term Consequences:

Permanent cognitive impairment
Inability to work
Need for ongoing care and supervision
Increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s
Depression and emotional disorders

Lifetime Care Costs: $85,000 to $3,000,000+ depending on severity

Spinal Cord Injury

What It Is:
Damage to the spinal cord that disrupts communication between the brain and body, often resulting in paralysis.

Types of Paralysis:

Type	Definition	Impact
Paraplegia	Loss of function below the waist	Cannot walk, may affect bladder/bowel control
Quadriplegia	Loss of function in all four limbs	Cannot walk or use arms, may need breathing assistance
Incomplete Injury	Some nerve function remains	Variable – may have some sensation or movement
Complete Injury	No nerve function below injury	Total loss of sensation and movement

Level of Injury Matters:

Higher injuries (cervical spine) affect more body functions
C1-C4 injuries may require ventilator for breathing
Lower injuries (lumbar) affect legs but not arms

Lifetime Care Costs:

Paraplegia (low): $1.1 million+
Paraplegia (high): $2.5 million+
Quadriplegia (low): $3.5 million+
Quadriplegia (high): $5 million+

These figures represent direct medical costs only – not lost wages, pain and suffering, or loss of quality of life.

Amputation

Types of Amputation:

Traumatic Amputation: Limb severed at the scene due to crash forces
Surgical Amputation: Limb so severely damaged it must be surgically removed

Common in 18-Wheeler Accidents Due To:

Crushing forces from truck impact
Entrapment requiring amputation for extraction
Severe burns requiring surgical removal
Infections from open wounds

Ongoing Medical Needs:

Initial surgery and hospitalization
Prosthetic limbs ($5,000 – $50,000+ per prosthetic)
Replacement prosthetics throughout lifetime
Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Occupational therapy for daily living skills
Psychological counseling

Impact on Life:

Permanent disability
Career limitations or total disability
Phantom limb pain
Body image and psychological trauma
Need for home modifications
Dependency on others for daily activities

Severe Burns

How Burns Occur in 18-Wheeler Accidents:

Fuel tank rupture and fire
Hazmat cargo spills and ignition
Electrical fires from battery/wiring damage
Friction burns from road contact
Chemical burns from hazmat exposure

Burn Classification:

Degree	Depth	Treatment
First	Epidermis only	Minor, heals without scarring
Second	Epidermis and dermis	May scar, may need grafting
Third	Full thickness	Requires skin grafts, permanent scarring
Fourth	Through skin to muscle/bone	Multiple surgeries, amputation may be required

Long-Term Consequences:

Permanent scarring and disfigurement
Multiple reconstructive surgeries
Skin graft procedures
Chronic pain
Infection risks
Psychological trauma

Internal Organ Damage

Common Internal Injuries:

Liver laceration or rupture
Spleen damage requiring removal
Kidney damage
Lung contusion or collapse (pneumothorax)
Internal bleeding (hemorrhage)
Bowel and intestinal damage

Why Dangerous:

May not show immediate symptoms
Internal bleeding can be life-threatening
Requires emergency surgery
Organ removal affects long-term health

Wrongful Death

When a Trucking Accident Kills:

Wrongful death claims allow surviving family members to recover compensation when a loved one is killed by another’s negligence.

Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas:

Surviving spouse
Children (minor and adult)
Parents (especially if no spouse or children)
Estate representative

Types of Claims:

Wrongful Death Action: Compensation for survivors’ losses
Survival Action: Compensation for decedent’s pain/suffering before death

Damages Available Under Texas Law:

Lost future income and benefits
Loss of consortium (companionship, care, guidance)
Mental anguish and emotional suffering
Funeral and burial expenses
Medical expenses incurred prior to death
Pain and suffering experienced by decedent before death
Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence, recklessness, or malice)

Texas Statute of Limitations: 2 years from date of death to file wrongful death lawsuit

Commercial Truck Insurance: What’s Available for Your Recovery

Federal law requires commercial trucking companies to carry minimum liability insurance far exceeding typical auto policies.

FEDERAL MINIMUM LIABILITY LIMITS:

Cargo Type	Minimum Coverage
Non-Hazardous Freight (10,001+ lbs GVWR)	$750,000
Oil/Petroleum (10,001+ lbs GVWR)	$1,000,000
Large Equipment (10,001+ lbs GVWR)	$1,000,000
Hazardous Materials (All)	$5,000,000
Passengers (16+ passengers)	$5,000,000
Passengers (15 or fewer)	$1,500,000

Why This Matters For Your Case:

Unlike car accidents where insurance may be limited to $30,000-$100,000, trucking accidents typically have at least $750,000 available – and often much more. Many carriers carry $1-5 million in coverage.

This higher coverage means catastrophic injuries can actually be compensated, rather than leaving victims with unpaid medical bills.

Types of Damages You Can Recover

Economic Damages (Calculable Losses)

Category	What’s Included
Medical Expenses	Past, present, and future medical costs
Lost Wages	Income lost due to injury and recovery
Lost Earning Capacity	Reduction in future earning ability
Property Damage	Vehicle repair or replacement
Out-of-Pocket Expenses	Transportation to medical appointments, home modifications
Life Care Costs	Ongoing care for catastrophic injuries

Non-Economic Damages (Quality of Life)

Category	What’s Included
Pain and Suffering	Physical pain from injuries
Mental Anguish	Psychological trauma, anxiety, depression
Loss of Enjoyment	Inability to participate in activities
Disfigurement	Scarring, visible injuries
Loss of Consortium	Impact on marriage/family relationships
Physical Impairment	Reduced physical capabilities

Punitive Damages (Punishment for Gross Negligence)

Punitive damages may be available when the trucking company or driver acted with:

Gross negligence
Willful misconduct
Conscious indifference to safety
Fraud (falsifying logs, destroying evidence)

Texas Punitive Damages Cap:
Greater of (2x economic damages + non-economic damages capped at $750,000) OR $200,000

Nuclear Verdicts: Holding Trucking Companies Fully Accountable

The trucking industry is seeing unprecedented jury verdicts that reflect the true cost of catastrophic injuries and the public’s frustration with corporate negligence.

RECENT MAJOR TRUCKING VERDICTS (2024-2025):

Amount	Year	Location	Case Details
$462 Million	2024	St. Louis, MO	Wabash National – two fatalities from underride collision
$160 Million	2024	Alabama	Daimler – quadriplegic injury from rollover; $75M compensatory + $75M punitive
$141.5 Million	2024	Florida	Defunct carrier crash; nuclear verdict against carrier no longer in business
$90 Million	—	Houston, TX	Truck driver burned in explosion
$37.5 Million	2024	Texas	Trucking verdict for catastrophic injuries
$35.5 Million	—	Texas	Family injured in truck accident
$35 Million	2025	Fort Worth, TX	Largest verdict in Tarrant County history

HISTORIC LANDMARK VERDICTS:

Amount	Year	Case Details
$1 Billion	2021	Florida – 18-year-old killed; $100M compensatory + $900M punitive for gross negligence in hiring
$411 Million	2020	Florida – 45-vehicle pileup; motorcyclist severely injured

WHY NUCLEAR VERDICTS HAPPEN:

Juries award massive verdicts when they find:

Trucking company knowingly hired dangerous drivers
Company ignored safety violations for profit
Evidence was destroyed (spoliation)
Falsified hours-of-service logs
Pattern of similar violations
Corporate culture prioritizing profit over safety
Egregious disregard for human life

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR CASE:

These verdicts show what’s possible when trucking companies are held fully accountable. Insurance companies know juries are willing to award massive damages – which strengthens settlement negotiations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Culberson County Trucking Accidents

What should I do immediately after an 18-wheeler accident in Culberson County?

If you’ve been in a trucking accident in Culberson County, take these steps immediately if you’re able:

Call 911 and report the accident
Seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor
Document the scene with photos and video if possible
Get the trucking company name, DOT number, and driver information
Collect witness contact information
Do NOT give recorded statements to any insurance company
Call an 18-wheeler accident attorney immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911

Should I go to the hospital after a truck accident even if I feel okay?

YES. Adrenaline masks pain after traumatic accidents. Internal injuries, TBI, and spinal injuries may not show symptoms for hours or days. Culberson County’s hospitals can identify injuries that will become critical evidence in your case. Delaying treatment also gives insurance companies ammunition to deny your claim.

What information should I collect at the truck accident scene in Culberson County?

Document everything possible:

Truck and trailer license plates
DOT number (on truck door)
Trucking company name and logo
Driver’s name, CDL number, and contact info
Photos of all vehicle damage
Photos of the accident scene, road conditions, skid marks
Photos of your injuries
Witness names and phone numbers
Responding officer’s name and badge number
Weather and road conditions

Should I talk to the trucking company’s insurance adjuster?

NO. Do not give any recorded statements. Insurance adjusters work for the trucking company, not you. Anything you say will be used to minimize your claim. Our firm includes a former insurance defense attorney who knows exactly how these adjusters are trained to protect the trucking company’s interests.

How quickly should I contact an 18-wheeler accident attorney in Culberson County?

IMMEDIATELY – within 24-48 hours if possible. Critical evidence in trucking cases (black box data, ELD records, dashcam footage) can be destroyed or overwritten quickly. We send spoliation letters within hours of being retained to preserve this evidence before it’s lost forever.

What is a spoliation letter and why is it important?

A spoliation letter is a legal notice demanding that the trucking company preserve all evidence related to the accident. This includes ECM/black box data, ELD logs, maintenance records, driver files, and more. Sending this letter immediately puts the trucking company on notice that destroying evidence will result in serious legal consequences.

Who can I sue after an 18-wheeler accident in Culberson County?

Multiple parties may be liable in trucking accidents:

The truck driver
The trucking company/motor carrier
The cargo owner or shipper
The company that loaded the cargo
Truck or parts manufacturers
Maintenance companies
Freight brokers
The truck owner (if different from carrier)
Government entities (for road defects)

We investigate every possible defendant to maximize your recovery.

Is the trucking company responsible even if the driver caused the accident?

Usually YES. Under the doctrine of respondeat superior, employers are liable for employees’ negligent acts within the scope of employment. Additionally, trucking companies can be directly liable for:

Negligent hiring (hiring unqualified drivers)
Negligent training (inadequate safety training)
Negligent supervision (failing to monitor driver behavior)
Negligent maintenance (poor vehicle upkeep)

What if the truck driver says the accident was my fault?

Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system. Even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation. Our job is to investigate thoroughly, gather evidence (especially ECM and ELD data), and prove what really happened. Drivers often lie to protect their jobs – the data tells the true story.

What is an owner-operator and does that affect my case?

An owner-operator is a driver who owns their own truck and contracts with trucking companies. This can complicate liability, but both the owner-operator and the contracting company may be liable. We investigate all relationships and insurance policies to ensure you can recover from the responsible parties.

How do I find out if the trucking company has a bad safety record?

FMCSA maintains public safety data at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. We obtain the carrier’s:

CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) scores
Inspection history and out-of-service rates
Crash history
Safety rating

A poor safety record can prove the company knew it was putting dangerous drivers on the road.

What is a truck’s “black box” and how does it help my case?

Commercial trucks have Electronic Control Modules (ECM) and Event Data Recorders (EDR) that record operational data – similar to airplane black boxes but for trucks. This data can show:

Speed before and during the crash
Brake application timing
Engine RPM and throttle position
Whether cruise control was engaged
GPS location

This objective data often contradicts what drivers claim happened.

What is an ELD and why is it important?

Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) are federally mandated devices that record driver hours of service. ELD data proves whether the driver violated federal rest requirements and was driving while fatigued. Hours of service violations are among the most common causes of trucking accidents.

How long does the trucking company keep black box and ELD data?

ECM data can be overwritten within 30 days or with new driving events. FMCSA only requires 6 months retention for ELD data. This is why we send spoliation letters immediately – once we notify them of litigation, they must preserve everything.

What records should my attorney get from the trucking company?

We pursue:

ECM/Black box data
ELD records
Driver Qualification File
Maintenance records
Inspection reports
Dispatch logs
Drug and alcohol test results
Training records
Cell phone records
Insurance policies
The physical truck and trailer

Can the trucking company destroy evidence?

Once they’re on notice of potential litigation, destroying evidence is spoliation – a serious legal violation. Courts can:

Instruct juries to assume destroyed evidence was unfavorable
Impose monetary sanctions
Enter default judgment in extreme cases
Award punitive damages

What are hours of service regulations and how do violations cause accidents?

FMCSA regulations limit how long truck drivers can operate:

Maximum 11 hours driving after 10 hours off
Cannot drive beyond 14th consecutive hour on duty
30-minute break required after 8 hours driving
60/70 hour weekly limits

Fatigued driving causes approximately 31% of fatal truck crashes. Drivers who violate these rules are too tired to react safely.

What FMCSA regulations are most commonly violated in accidents?

The top violations we find:

Hours of service violations (driving too long)
False log entries (lying about driving time)
Brake system deficiencies
Cargo securement failures
Drug/alcohol violations
Unqualified drivers (no valid CDL or medical certificate)
Mobile phone use while driving
Failure to inspect vehicles
Improper lighting
Negligent hiring

What is a Driver Qualification File and why does it matter?

FMCSA requires trucking companies to maintain a file for every driver containing:

Employment application
Driving record check
Previous employer verification
Medical certification
Drug test results
Training documentation

Missing or incomplete files prove negligent hiring.

How do pre-trip inspections relate to my accident case?

Drivers must inspect their trucks before every trip. If they failed to conduct inspections or ignored known defects (bad brakes, worn tires, lighting problems), both the driver and company may be liable for negligence.

What injuries are common in 18-wheeler accidents in Culberson County?

Due to the massive size and weight disparity, trucking accidents often cause catastrophic injuries:

Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Amputations
Severe burns
Internal organ damage
Multiple fractures
Wrongful death

How much are 18-wheeler accident cases worth in Culberson County?

Case values depend on many factors:

Severity of injuries
Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost income and earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Degree of defendant’s negligence
Insurance coverage available

Trucking companies carry higher insurance ($750,000 minimum, often $1-5 million), allowing for larger recoveries than typical car accidents. We’ve seen verdicts ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions.

What if my loved one was killed in a trucking accident in Culberson County?

Texas allows wrongful death claims by surviving family members. You may recover:

Lost future income
Loss of companionship and guidance
Mental anguish
Funeral expenses
Punitive damages if gross negligence

Time limits apply – contact us immediately to protect your rights.

How long do I have to file an 18-wheeler accident lawsuit in Culberson County?

The statute of limitations in Texas is 2 years from the date of the accident. However, you should never wait. Evidence disappears quickly in trucking cases. The sooner you contact us, the stronger your case will be.

How long do trucking accident cases take to resolve?

Timelines vary:

Simple cases with clear liability: 6-12 months
Complex cases with multiple parties: 1-3 years
Cases that go to trial: 2-4 years

We work to resolve cases as quickly as possible while maximizing your recovery.

Will my trucking accident case go to trial?

Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies know which lawyers are willing to go to court – and they offer better settlements to clients with trial-ready attorneys. We have the resources and experience to take your case all the way if necessary.

Do I need to pay anything upfront to hire your firm?

NO. We work on contingency – you pay nothing unless we win your case. We advance all costs of investigation and litigation. You never receive a bill from us. When we win, our fee comes from the recovery, not your pocket.

How much insurance do trucking companies carry?

Federal law requires minimum liability coverage:

$750,000 for non-hazardous freight
$1,000,000 for oil, large equipment
$5,000,000 for hazardous materials

Many carriers carry $1-5 million or more. This higher coverage means catastrophic injuries can actually be compensated.

What if multiple insurance policies apply to my accident?

Trucking cases often involve multiple policies:

Motor carrier’s liability policy
Trailer interchange coverage
Cargo insurance
Owner-operator’s policy
Excess/umbrella coverage

We identify all available coverage to maximize your recovery.

Will the trucking company’s insurance try to settle quickly?

Often yes – and that’s a red flag. Quick settlement offers are designed to pay you far less than your case is worth before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Never accept any settlement without consulting an experienced trucking accident attorney first.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Texas follows modified comparative negligence. You can recover damages if you’re 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover anything.

What if the truck driver was an independent contractor?

Even if the driver was an independent contractor, the trucking company may still be liable through:

Negligent hiring
Negligent supervision
Negligent maintenance
Vicarious liability (if they controlled the driver’s work)

How do cargo spills create liability?

Cargo spills can create liability through:

Improper securement (49 CFR 393 violations)
Overloading
Failure to disclose hazardous cargo
Improper loading procedures
Failure to inspect cargo during transit

What if a tire blowout caused my accident?

Tire blowouts can create liability through:

Underinflated tires
Overloaded vehicles
Worn or aging tires
Poor maintenance
Manufacturing defects
Improper tire matching

How do brake failures get investigated?

Brake failure investigations include:

Maintenance records
Brake inspection history
Out-of-service orders
ECM data showing brake performance
Post-crash brake analysis
Mechanic qualifications

What if the truck’s dashcam recorded the accident?

Dashcam footage can be powerful evidence. We demand preservation of all video evidence immediately. This footage can show:

Driver behavior before the crash
Road conditions
Traffic signals
Other vehicles’ actions

Can I get the truck’s GPS data?

Yes. GPS and telematics data can show:

Truck’s speed and route
Driver behavior patterns
Hours of service compliance
Location history

What if the trucking company goes bankrupt?

Even if the trucking company goes bankrupt, we can often recover from:

Their insurance company
Other liable parties (driver, cargo owner, maintenance company)
The truck owner
Excess insurance policies

How are future medical expenses calculated?

We work with medical and economic experts to calculate:

Future surgeries
Ongoing therapy
Medications
Medical equipment
Home modifications
In-home care
Life expectancy

What is loss of consortium?

Loss of consortium compensates family members for:

Loss of companionship
Loss of affection
Loss of household services
Loss of guidance and support

When are punitive damages available?

Punitive damages may be available when the trucking company or driver acted with:

Gross negligence
Willful misconduct
Conscious indifference to safety
Fraud (falsifying logs, destroying evidence)

How do product defects (brakes, tires) create liability?

If a defective part caused or contributed to the accident, we may pursue:

Product liability claims against the manufacturer
Strict liability (no need to prove negligence)
Breach of warranty claims
Design defect claims
Manufacturing defect claims

What if road conditions contributed to my accident?

If dangerous road conditions contributed, we may pursue claims against:

TxDOT (for state highways)

Can I sue for PTSD after a trucking accident?

Yes. PTSD compensation may be available for:

Flashbacks and nightmares
Anxiety and depression
Sleep disturbances

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Texas uses modified comparative negligence. You can recover if you’re 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover anything.

How do you prove the driver was fatigued?

We prove fatigue through:

ELD data showing hours of service violations
Dispatch records showing long trips
Cell phone records showing late-night activity
Witness statements about driver behavior
Medical records showing sleep disorders
Expert testimony on fatigue effects

What is the FMCSA and how does it help my case?

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulates commercial trucking. FMCSA regulations establish the standard of care that trucking companies must follow. Violations of these regulations prove negligence and strengthen your case.

Can I access the trucking company’s safety record?

Yes. FMCSA maintains public safety data at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. We obtain:

CSA scores
Inspection history
Crash history
Safety rating

A poor safety record can prove the company knew it was putting dangerous drivers on the road.

How much are my injuries worth?

Injury values depend on:

Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost income and earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Impact on daily life
Degree of defendant’s negligence

Every case is unique. We work with medical and economic experts to calculate your full damages.

What if I can’t work because of my injuries?

Vocational rehabilitation costs
Retraining expenses

How do you calculate pain and suffering?

Pain and suffering is calculated based on:

Severity of injuries
Duration of recovery
Impact on daily life
Medical documentation
Expert testimony
Jury awards in similar cases

What is the difference between economic and non-economic damages?

Economic damages are calculable losses like medical bills and lost wages
Non-economic damages are quality of life losses like pain and suffering

What are punitive damages?

Punitive damages punish the defendant for gross negligence or willful misconduct. They’re not compensation for your losses, but rather to deter similar conduct in the future.

How do I pay my medical bills while my case is pending?

We can help you:

Use your health insurance
Set up medical liens (treatment now, payment later from settlement)
Find doctors who work on a lien basis
Access medical payment coverage from your auto policy

What if I don’t have health insurance?

We can connect you with doctors who will treat you on a lien basis. They’ll be paid from your settlement when your case resolves.

How long will it take to get a settlement?

Timelines vary:

Simple cases: 6-12 months
Complex cases: 1-3 years
Trial cases: 2-4 years

We work to resolve cases as quickly as possible while maximizing your recovery.

Will I have to go to court?

Most cases settle without going to court. However, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This preparation strengthens our negotiating position and ensures we’re ready if trial becomes necessary.

What happens if I lose my case?

With our contingency fee agreement, you pay nothing if we lose. We only get paid if we win your case.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?
