Why Burnet County Trucking Accidents Are Different

Burnet County sits at the crossroads of major Texas trucking corridors, with Highway 281, US 29, and numerous state highways carrying heavy commercial traffic. The scenic Hill Country roads that attract tourists and residents alike also create unique hazards for truck drivers navigating tight curves, steep grades, and unpredictable weather conditions.

Our team knows Burnet County’s trucking routes intimately:

• Highway 281 – The primary north-south route through Burnet County, connecting to I-35 and carrying heavy truck traffic between San Antonio and Waco
• US 29 – An important east-west corridor linking Burnet to Llano and the Highland Lakes area
• FM 963 and FM 2341 – Rural routes with limited shoulders that create challenges for large trucks
• The distribution centers and warehouses in Burnet, Marble Falls, and surrounding areas that generate significant local truck traffic
• The truck stops and weigh stations where drivers may be violating federal hours-of-service regulations

This local knowledge, combined with our deep understanding of FMCSA regulations, gives us a significant advantage when building your case.

The Devastating Reality of 18-Wheeler Accidents

When an 80,000-pound truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often catastrophic. The physics of these crashes make severe injuries almost inevitable:

• A fully loaded 18-wheeler is 20-25 times heavier than the average passenger car
• At 65 mph, a truck needs nearly 525 feet to stop – nearly two football fields
• The height of truck trailers often causes underride collisions where passenger vehicles slide underneath
• Cargo spills can create secondary accidents and hazardous conditions

Common catastrophic injuries we see in Burnet County trucking accidents include:

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) – From mild concussions to severe brain damage requiring lifelong care
• Spinal Cord Injuries – Often resulting in paraplegia or quadriplegia
• Amputations – Crushed limbs that require surgical removal
• Severe Burns – From fuel fires or hazardous material spills
• Internal Organ Damage – Life-threatening injuries that may not be immediately apparent
• Wrongful Death – Leaving families devastated and facing financial uncertainty

The lifetime costs of these injuries can easily exceed $1 million, and in many cases reach $5-10 million or more. That’s why it’s critical to work with attorneys who have experience recovering multi-million dollar verdicts for trucking accident victims.

How Trucking Companies Try to Avoid Responsibility

Within hours of a serious accident, trucking companies deploy rapid-response teams to protect their interests. Their goals are clear:

1. Destroy or hide evidence – Black box data can be overwritten, dashcam footage deleted
2. Shift blame to the victim – Insurance adjusters will try to find any reason to deny your claim
3. Offer quick, lowball settlements – Before you understand the full extent of your injuries
4. Delay the claims process – Hoping you’ll give up or accept less than you deserve

At Attorney911, we move just as fast to protect your rights. Our team includes a former insurance defense attorney who knows every tactic the trucking companies will use against you. We’ve seen how they operate from the inside, and now we use that knowledge to fight for maximum compensation for our clients.

Our 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Protocol

In trucking accident cases, evidence disappears quickly. That’s why we have a strict 48-hour protocol to preserve critical evidence:

Within 24 Hours:

• Send formal spoliation letters to the trucking company, their insurer, and all potentially liable parties
• Demand immediate download of all ECM/black box data
• Secure ELD records to prove hours-of-service violations
• Obtain dashcam footage before it’s deleted
• Preserve GPS and telematics data

Within 48 Hours:

• Photograph all vehicles before they’re repaired or scrapped
• Collect police crash reports and 911 call recordings
• Interview witnesses before memories fade
• Canvass accident scene for security camera footage
• Obtain driver qualification files and maintenance records

Critical Evidence We Preserve:

“Every hour you wait, evidence in your Burnet County trucking accident case is disappearing. Black box data can be overwritten. Dashcam footage gets deleted. Witnesses forget what they saw. Call Attorney911 NOW at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free consultation. We’ll send a preservation letter today to protect your evidence.”

The FMCSA Regulations That Prove Negligence

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations create a legal framework that protects all of us on Burnet County’s highways. When trucking companies violate these rules, they create dangerous conditions that lead to catastrophic accidents. These regulations are your strongest evidence of negligence.

Hours of Service Violations (49 CFR Part 395)

Fatigued driving is one of the leading causes of trucking accidents. FMCSA regulations limit how long drivers can operate:

How We Prove HOS Violations:

• Obtain ELD records showing driving time
• Review paper logs (if still used) for falsification
• Analyze dispatch records for schedule pressure
• Check GPS data for actual driving patterns
• Interview coworkers about company culture

Driver Qualification Violations (49 CFR Part 391)

Trucking companies must carefully vet their drivers:

The Driver Qualification File Must Contain:

• Employment application
• Motor vehicle record from state
• Road test certificate
• Medical examiner’s certificate
• Annual driving record review
• Previous employer inquiries
• Drug/alcohol test results

Vehicle Maintenance Violations (49 CFR Part 396)

Proper maintenance is critical for safety:

Cargo Securement Violations (49 CFR Part 393)

Improperly secured cargo causes accidents:

All the Parties We Hold Accountable

In 18-wheeler accident cases, multiple parties may share responsibility. We investigate every potential defendant to maximize your recovery:

1. The Truck Driver – For negligent operation, fatigue, distraction, or impairment
2. The Trucking Company – For negligent hiring, training, supervision, and maintenance
3. The Cargo Owner/Shipper – For improper loading instructions or hazardous cargo
4. The Loading Company – For improper cargo securement
5. The Truck Manufacturer – For defective design or manufacturing
6. The Parts Manufacturer – For defective components (brakes, tires, steering)
7. The Maintenance Company – For negligent repairs or inspections
8. The Freight Broker – For negligent carrier selection
9. The Truck Owner – For negligent entrustment (if different from carrier)
10. Government Entities – For dangerous road design or maintenance

He knows exactly how insurance companies evaluate, minimize, and deny trucking accident claims. Now he uses that insider knowledge to fight for maximum compensation for our clients.”

The Catastrophic Injuries We See in Burnet County Trucking Accidents

The size and weight disparity between 18-wheelers and passenger vehicles means trucking accidents often result in life-altering injuries:

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

TBI occurs when the brain is damaged by external forces. In trucking accidents, this often happens when:

• The head strikes the steering wheel, dashboard, or window
• The brain impacts the inside of the skull during sudden deceleration
• The vehicle rolls over or is crushed

TBI Severity Levels:

Lifetime Costs: $85,000 to $3,000,000+

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord damage often results in permanent paralysis:

Lifetime Costs:

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

Amputations

Amputations result from:

• Crushing injuries from truck impact
• Entrapment requiring surgical amputation
• 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

Severe Burns

Burns occur from:

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

Burn Classification:

Lifetime Costs: $100,000 to $10,000,000+

Wrongful Death

When trucking accidents claim lives, surviving family members may recover:

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

The Multi-Million Dollar Results We’ve Achieved

At Attorney911, we’ve recovered millions of dollars for trucking accident victims across Texas. While every case is unique, our results demonstrate what’s possible when trucking companies are held fully accountable:

• $5+ Million – Logging brain injury settlement
• $3.8+ Million – Car accident amputation settlement
• $2.5+ Million – Truck crash recovery
• $2+ Million – Maritime back injury settlement
• Millions recovered for families in trucking-related wrongful death cases

“They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”
— Glenda Walker, Attorney911 Client

These results are possible because trucking companies carry high insurance limits:

Many carriers carry $1-5 million or more in coverage, allowing for substantial recoveries when catastrophic injuries occur.

The Nuclear Verdict Trend in Trucking Cases

Recent years have seen unprecedented jury verdicts against trucking companies:

These verdicts reflect juries’ willingness to hold trucking companies accountable when they prioritize profits over safety. The average trucking verdict now exceeds $27 million, with nuclear verdicts (over $10 million) becoming increasingly common.

The 18-Wheeler Accident Types We Handle in Burnet County

Our team has experience with all types of trucking accidents that occur on Burnet County’s highways:

Jackknife Accidents

Jackknifes occur when the trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, often blocking multiple lanes. Common causes include:

• Sudden braking on wet or icy roads
• Speeding, especially on curves
• Empty or lightly loaded trailers
• Improperly loaded cargo
• Brake system failures
• Driver inexperience

Underride Collisions

Underride accidents are among the most deadly, occurring when a passenger vehicle slides underneath a trailer. Types include:

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

Federal law requires rear impact guards on trailers manufactured after January 26, 1998, but many older trailers still lack adequate protection. There is currently no federal requirement for side underride guards.

Rollover Accidents

Rollovers occur when a truck tips onto its side or roof. Common causes include:

• Speeding on curves (especially on Highway 281’s tight turns)
• Top-heavy loads
• Improperly secured cargo
• Overcorrection after running off road
• Driver fatigue
• Brake failures

Tire Blowout Accidents

Tire failures cause thousands of trucking accidents annually. Common causes include:

• Underinflated tires
• Overloaded vehicles
• Worn or aging tires
• Road debris
• Manufacturing defects
• Improper tire matching on dual wheels

Brake Failure Accidents

Brake problems are a factor in approximately 29% of large truck crashes. Common causes include:

• Worn brake pads or shoes
• Improper brake adjustment
• Air brake system leaks
• Overheated brakes on long descents
• Contaminated brake fluid
• Defective brake components

Cargo Spill/Shift Accidents

Improperly secured cargo creates multiple hazards:

• Cargo Shift: Load moves during transit, destabilizing truck
• Cargo Spill: Load falls from truck onto roadway
• Hazmat Spill: Hazardous materials leak or spill

FMCSA regulations require specific securement methods based on cargo type, weight, and length.

Blind Spot Accidents

Trucks have four major blind spots (No-Zones):

1. Front No-Zone: 20 feet directly in front of the cab
2. Rear No-Zone: 30 feet behind the trailer
3. Left Side No-Zone: Extends from cab door backward
4. Right Side No-Zone: Extends from cab door backward, much larger than left

Wide Turn Accidents

Trucks must swing wide to complete turns, creating hazards:

• Vehicles may enter the gap created by the wide turn
• Truck completes turn, crushing vehicle in the gap
• Common at intersections and tight turns

Rear-End Collisions

Due to their massive weight, trucks cause devastating rear-end collisions:

• Require 40% more stopping distance than cars
• At 65 mph, need approximately 525 feet to stop
• Common causes: following too closely, distraction, fatigue

Head-On Collisions

Head-on collisions are often fatal due to combined impact forces:

• Wrong-way driving on divided highways
• Median crossovers
• Driver falling asleep at the wheel
• Medical emergencies
• Overcorrection after running off road

Frequently Asked Questions About Burnet County Trucking Accidents

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

If you’ve been in a trucking accident in Burnet 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

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. Burnet County hospitals like Seton Highland Lakes Hospital and Scott & White Medical Center – Marble Falls 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 Burnet 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 Burnet 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.

Who can I sue after an 18-wheeler accident in Burnet 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 as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. 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. 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 and alcohol violations
• Unqualified drivers (no valid CDL or medical certificate)
• Failure to inspect vehicles

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 Burnet 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 Burnet 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 Burnet 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 Burnet 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.
