18-Wheeler Accidents in Sterling County: Your Guide to Justice and Compensation

If you or a loved one has been injured in an 18-wheeler accident in Sterling County, you’re facing one of the most challenging experiences of your life. The physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial uncertainty can feel overwhelming. At Attorney911, we understand what you’re going through, and we’re here to help.

Why Sterling County Trucking Accidents Are Unique

Sterling County’s highways and rural roads present unique challenges for truck drivers and passenger vehicles alike. Our county’s position along major freight corridors means we see significant commercial truck traffic. From the long stretches of US-87 to the rural county roads serving our agricultural and energy industries, Sterling County’s trucking routes require special attention and expertise.

As Sterling County residents, we know these roads intimately. We understand the challenges of sharing the road with large commercial vehicles in our rural setting. The vast distances between services, unpredictable weather conditions, and the unique traffic patterns of our county create specific risks that require local knowledge to navigate effectively.

The Devastating Reality of 18-Wheeler Accidents

Every year, thousands of Americans are killed or seriously injured in accidents involving commercial trucks. The statistics are sobering:

• Over 5,100 people die in truck crashes annually
• More than 125,000 people are injured each year
• 76% of those killed are occupants of the smaller vehicle
• Trucking accidents cause some of the most catastrophic injuries we see in personal injury law

In Sterling County, we’ve seen firsthand how these accidents change lives in an instant. The sheer size and weight of an 18-wheeler – up to 80,000 pounds fully loaded – means that when accidents happen, the consequences are often severe.

Common Causes of Trucking Accidents in Sterling County

Our experience handling 18-wheeler accident cases throughout Sterling County has revealed several common causes:

Driver Fatigue and Hours of Service Violations

Many trucking companies pressure drivers to meet tight deadlines, leading to violations of federal hours of service regulations. These rules are designed to prevent fatigued driving:

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

When drivers violate these rules, their reaction times slow, judgment becomes impaired, and the risk of catastrophic accidents increases dramatically.

Improper Maintenance and Equipment Failures

Sterling County’s rural roads and long distances between service centers mean that maintenance is even more critical. Common maintenance-related causes include:

• Brake failures from improper adjustment or wear
• Tire blowouts from underinflation or old tires
• Lighting failures making trucks hard to see
• Coupling device failures causing trailer separation

Distracted and Impaired Driving

Despite strict regulations, distracted and impaired driving remains a significant problem:

• Cell phone use while driving (banned by FMCSA)
• Texting while driving (specifically prohibited)
• Use of dispatch devices while in motion
• Alcohol or drug impairment
• Prescription medication misuse

Improper Cargo Loading

Cargo securement is critical, especially on Sterling County’s rural roads where sudden maneuvers may be necessary:

• Overloaded trailers exceeding weight limits
• Improperly secured loads that shift during transit
• Unbalanced loads that affect vehicle stability
• Hazardous materials not properly contained

Speeding and Aggressive Driving

The long, straight stretches of road in Sterling County can lull drivers into a false sense of security, leading to:

• Excessive speed for conditions
• Following too closely
• Improper lane changes
• Failure to adjust speed on curves

The Catastrophic Injuries We See in Sterling County Trucking Cases

Due to the massive size and weight disparity between 18-wheelers and passenger vehicles, trucking accidents often result in life-altering injuries:

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

TBI is one of the most common and devastating injuries we see. Even “mild” concussions can have long-lasting effects. Symptoms may include:

• Headaches and dizziness
• Memory problems and confusion
• Mood changes and depression
• Sleep disturbances
• Speech difficulties
• Personality changes

Severe TBI can result in permanent cognitive impairment, requiring lifelong care and support.

Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis

Spinal cord injuries can cause partial or complete paralysis:

• Paraplegia: Loss of function below the waist
• Quadriplegia: Loss of function in all four limbs
• Incomplete injuries: Some nerve function remains
• Complete injuries: Total loss of sensation and movement below the injury

These injuries often require extensive rehabilitation, home modifications, and lifelong medical care.

Amputations

Crushing injuries from truck accidents may result in traumatic amputations or require surgical removal of limbs. The physical and psychological impact is profound, requiring:

• Prosthetic limbs (costing $5,000-$50,000+ each)
• Physical and occupational therapy
• Psychological counseling
• Home and vehicle modifications

Severe Burns

Fuel tank ruptures, cargo spills, and electrical fires can cause devastating burns:

• First-degree burns (superficial)
• Second-degree burns (partial thickness)
• Third-degree burns (full thickness)
• Fourth-degree burns (through skin to muscle/bone)

Burn injuries often require multiple reconstructive surgeries and leave permanent scarring.

Internal Organ Damage

The forces involved in trucking accidents can cause serious internal injuries:

• Liver lacerations
• Spleen damage
• Kidney injuries
• Lung contusions
• Internal bleeding

These injuries can be life-threatening and require emergency surgery.

Wrongful Death

When trucking accidents prove fatal, surviving family members may pursue wrongful death claims to recover:

• Lost future income and benefits
• Loss of consortium (companionship)
• Mental anguish and emotional suffering
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Medical expenses before death
• Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Sterling County Trucking Accident?

One of the most important aspects of trucking accident cases is identifying all potentially liable parties. Unlike car accidents where typically only one driver is at fault, trucking accidents often involve multiple defendants:

The Truck Driver

The driver may be personally liable for:

• Speeding or reckless driving
• Distracted driving (cell phone use, texting)
• Fatigued driving beyond legal limits
• Impaired driving (drugs, alcohol)
• Failure to conduct proper pre-trip inspections
• Violation of traffic laws

The Trucking Company (Motor Carrier)

The trucking company is often the most important defendant because they have the deepest pockets and highest insurance limits. They can be liable for:

Vicarious Liability:

• The driver was an employee (not independent contractor)
• Acting within the scope of employment
• Performing job duties when accident occurred

Direct Negligence:

• Negligent Hiring: Failed to check driver’s background or qualifications
• Negligent Training: Inadequate safety training
• Negligent Supervision: Failed to monitor driver performance
• Negligent Maintenance: Failed to maintain vehicle in safe condition
• Negligent Scheduling: Pressured drivers to violate HOS regulations

Cargo Owner/Shipper

The company that owns the cargo may be liable for:

• Providing improper loading instructions
• Failing to disclose hazardous nature of cargo
• Requiring overweight loading
• Pressuring carrier to expedite beyond safe limits

Cargo Loading Company

Third-party loading companies may be liable for:

• Improper cargo securement
• Unbalanced load distribution
• Exceeding vehicle weight ratings
• Failure to use proper blocking, bracing, or tiedowns

Truck and Trailer Manufacturer

Manufacturers may be liable for:

• Design defects in vehicle systems
• Manufacturing defects in components
• Failure to warn of known dangers
• Defective safety systems (ABS, ESC, collision warning)

Parts Manufacturer

Companies that manufacture specific parts may be liable for:

• Defective brakes or brake components
• Defective tires causing blowouts
• Defective steering mechanisms
• Defective lighting components

Maintenance Company

Third-party maintenance companies may be liable for:

• Negligent repairs that failed to fix problems
• Failure to identify critical safety issues
• Improper brake adjustments
• Using substandard or wrong parts

Freight Broker

Freight brokers who arrange transportation may be liable for:

• Negligent selection of carrier with poor safety record
• Failure to verify carrier insurance and authority
• Failure to check carrier CSA scores
• Selecting cheapest carrier despite safety concerns

Truck Owner (If Different from Carrier)

In owner-operator arrangements, the truck owner may have separate liability for:

• Negligent entrustment of vehicle
• Failure to maintain owned equipment
• Knowledge of driver’s unfitness

Government Entity

Federal, state, or local government may be liable in limited circumstances for:

• Dangerous road design that contributed to accident
• Failure to maintain roads (potholes, debris)
• Inadequate signage for known hazards
• Failure to install safety barriers
• Improper work zone setup

The Critical Importance of Immediate Evidence Preservation

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

The 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Protocol

At Attorney911, we implement a comprehensive 48-hour evidence preservation protocol for every trucking accident case:

1. Immediate Spoliation Letters

   • Sent within 24-48 hours of being retained
   • Formal legal notice demanding preservation of all evidence
   • Creates legal consequences for evidence destruction

2. Electronic Data Preservation

   • ECM/Black Box Data: Records speed, braking, throttle position
   • ELD Data: Proves hours of service compliance
   • GPS/Telematics: Shows route, speed, and location history
   • Dashcam Footage: Captures accident sequence
   • Cell Phone Records: Proves distraction
   • Dispatch Records: Shows scheduling pressure

3. Physical Evidence Preservation

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

4. Documentary Evidence Collection

   • Driver Qualification File
   • Maintenance records
   • Inspection reports
   • Drug and alcohol test results
   • Training records

Why This Matters for Your Sterling County Case

Sterling County’s rural nature means that evidence preservation is even more critical. With limited law enforcement resources and long distances between service centers, the trucking company may have more opportunity to alter or destroy evidence before authorities arrive.

Our team moves quickly to:

• Secure the accident scene before vehicles are moved
• Document road conditions specific to Sterling County
• Preserve evidence that may be unique to our rural setting
• Work with local law enforcement to ensure proper documentation

Common Questions About Sterling County Trucking Accidents

How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a trucking accident in Sterling County?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is 2 years from the date of the accident. However, you should never wait to take action. Evidence disappears quickly in trucking cases, and the sooner you contact us, the stronger your case will be.

How much is my Sterling County trucking accident case worth?

Every case is unique, and the value depends on many factors:

• Severity of your injuries
• Cost of medical treatment (past and future)
• Lost wages and earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Degree of the trucking company’s negligence
• Available insurance coverage

Trucking companies carry much higher insurance limits than typical auto policies – often $750,000 to $5,000,000 or more. This means catastrophic injuries can actually be compensated fairly.

Will my 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.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Texas follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule. This means:

• If you were less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages
• Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault
• If you were 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover anything

For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you would recover $80,000.

How long will my case take to resolve?

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of your case:

• 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.

What if the trucking company offers me a quick settlement?

Be extremely cautious about quick settlement offers. These are almost always lowball offers designed to pay you far less than your case is worth. The insurance company knows that once you accept a settlement, you waive your right to any additional compensation – even if your injuries turn out to be more serious than you initially thought.

What if the truck driver was an independent contractor?

Even if the driver was an independent contractor, both the driver and the contracting company may be liable. We’ll investigate all relationships and insurance policies to ensure you can recover from all responsible parties.

Can I still recover if the trucking company goes bankrupt?

Bankruptcy doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t recover. We’ll explore all available insurance policies, including excess and umbrella coverage, to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

What if I don’t have health insurance?

We can help you get the medical treatment you need through:

• Letters of Protection (LOP) with medical providers
• Medical liens
• Health insurance (if available)
• Government programs

You won’t have to pay for medical treatment upfront.

What if I was injured in a work zone accident?

Work zone accidents present special challenges. We’ll investigate:

• Whether proper signage was in place
• Whether traffic control devices were properly positioned
• Whether the trucking company followed work zone speed limits
• Whether the government entity responsible for the work zone followed proper procedures

Sterling County Trucking Corridors: Where Accidents Happen

Sterling County’s position along major freight routes means we see trucking accidents on several key corridors:

US-87: The North-South Lifeline

US-87 runs through the heart of Sterling County, serving as a critical north-south route connecting San Angelo to Big Spring and beyond. This highway sees significant truck traffic, particularly:

• Agricultural products from our county’s farms and ranches
• Oil and gas equipment serving the Permian Basin
• General freight moving between major distribution centers

The long, straight stretches of US-87 can lead to driver fatigue, while the occasional curves require careful speed management.

FM 2034: Connecting Rural Communities

FM 2034 serves our rural communities and agricultural areas. Truck traffic on this route includes:

• Livestock transports
• Farm equipment
• Local freight deliveries

The rural nature of FM 2034 means:

• Limited law enforcement presence
• Fewer safety features
• Longer emergency response times
• More wildlife crossings

County Roads: The Last Mile

Our county roads serve as the “last mile” for many deliveries, connecting our rural areas to the main highways. These roads present unique challenges:

• Narrow lanes
• Limited shoulders
• Poor lighting
• Unpaved sections
• Sharp turns
• Steep grades

Accidents on county roads often involve:

• Trucks making wide turns at rural intersections
• Speeding on familiar routes
• Failure to adjust for road conditions
• Improperly secured agricultural loads

Energy Sector Trucking: Special Considerations

Sterling County’s proximity to the Permian Basin means we see specialized truck traffic serving the energy sector:

• Oilfield equipment transports
• Water haulers for fracking operations
• Sand trucks for hydraulic fracturing
• Hazardous materials transports

These trucks often:

• Operate on tight schedules
• Travel on rural roads not designed for heavy traffic
• Carry oversized or overweight loads
• Require special permits

The Unique Challenges of Sterling County Trucking Cases

As Sterling County residents, we understand the unique challenges our community faces when dealing with trucking accidents:

Limited Law Enforcement Resources

Sterling County’s vast size and rural nature mean that law enforcement resources are spread thin. This can result in:

• Delayed response times to accident scenes
• Limited accident investigation capabilities
• Fewer traffic enforcement officers
• Longer wait times for emergency services

Our team works closely with local law enforcement to ensure proper documentation of trucking accidents, even when resources are limited.

Long Distances Between Services

The vast distances in Sterling County mean:

• Trucks may travel long distances between inspections
• Maintenance may be deferred due to distance from service centers
• Emergency medical services may take longer to reach accident scenes
• Towing and recovery services may have longer response times

These factors can contribute to accidents and complicate the aftermath.

Rural Road Conditions

Our rural roads present unique challenges:

• Narrow lanes with limited shoulders
• Poor lighting on many stretches
• Unpaved sections with loose gravel
• Sharp turns and steep grades
• Wildlife crossings
• Limited signage

Truck drivers unfamiliar with these conditions may be at increased risk of accidents.

Agricultural and Energy Sector Trucking

Sterling County’s economy relies heavily on agriculture and energy. This means:

• Specialized truck traffic (livestock, oversized loads, hazardous materials)
• Seasonal variations in truck traffic
• Unique loading and securement challenges
• Special permit requirements

Our team understands these specialized trucking operations and the unique risks they present.

Limited Medical Facilities

While we’re fortunate to have medical services in Sterling County, serious injuries often require transport to larger facilities. This means:

• Longer transport times for critically injured patients
• Limited initial treatment options
• Potential for injuries to worsen during transport

We work with medical providers to ensure our clients receive the best possible care, regardless of where they’re treated.
