18-Wheeler Accidents in Lynn County, Texas: Your Complete Legal Guide

When an 80,000-Pound Truck Changes Your Life

The impact was catastrophic. One moment you were driving down Lynn County’s highways, the next an 18-wheeler was jackknifing across three lanes. The sound of crumpling metal. The smell of diesel fuel. The searing pain. In an instant, your life changed forever.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a trucking accident in Lynn County, Texas, you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of families face the same devastation you’re experiencing right now. But here’s what you need to know: the trucking company already has lawyers working to protect them. You need someone fighting for you.

At Attorney911, we’ve been holding trucking companies accountable for over 25 years. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has federal court experience and has secured multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for families devastated by 18-wheeler crashes. We know Lynn County’s trucking corridors, from the distribution centers to the weigh stations where drivers may be violating federal hours-of-service regulations. This local knowledge, combined with our understanding of FMCSA regulations, gives us an advantage in building your case.

Why Lynn County Trucking Accidents Are Different

Lynn County sits at the crossroads of major Texas freight routes. The trucking corridors serving our community carry massive volumes of commercial traffic. While we don’t have the same congestion as Houston or Dallas, our rural highways present unique dangers:

• Long stretches of straight highway that can lull drivers into complacency
• Limited emergency services in rural areas, meaning longer response times
• Mixed traffic patterns with agricultural equipment, livestock trucks, and commercial freight
• Weather conditions that can create sudden hazards on our roads

We’ve handled trucking cases on every major highway serving Lynn County, and we understand the specific challenges our community faces when these massive vehicles cause catastrophic accidents.

The Physics of Trucking Accidents: Why They’re So Deadly

An 18-wheeler can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded – that’s 20-25 times heavier than your passenger car. The physics of these collisions create devastating forces:

• Stopping distance: A fully loaded truck traveling at 65 mph needs approximately 525 feet to stop – nearly two football fields
• Impact force: At highway speeds, an 80,000-pound truck carries approximately 80 times the kinetic energy of a passenger car
• Trailer swing: In a jackknife accident, the trailer can sweep across multiple lanes in seconds
• Underride risk: The height difference means passenger vehicles can slide underneath trailers in a collision

These physical realities mean that even a “minor” trucking accident can result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death.

Common Causes of Trucking Accidents in Lynn County

Driver Fatigue and Hours of Service Violations

Fatigued driving causes approximately 31% of fatal truck crashes. Federal regulations limit how long drivers can operate:

• 11-hour driving limit after 10 consecutive hours off duty
• 14-hour duty window – cannot drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour on duty
• 30-minute break required after 8 cumulative hours of driving
• 60/70-hour weekly limits – 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days

Violations we commonly find:

• Drivers falsifying logbooks (even with ELDs)
• Companies pressuring drivers to meet unrealistic schedules
• Drivers working second jobs or “moonlighting” during off-duty periods
• Inadequate sleeper berth usage

How we prove fatigue:

• ELD data showing driving beyond limits
• Dispatch records showing schedule pressure
• Cell phone records showing activity during rest periods
• Witness testimony about driver behavior

Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is a growing problem in the trucking industry. Common distractions include:

• Cell phone use – texting, calls, GPS navigation
• Dispatch communications – Qualcomm messages, CB radio
• In-cab electronics – tablets, entertainment systems
• Eating and drinking while driving
• External distractions – looking at accidents, billboards

FMCSA regulations prohibit:

• Using hand-held mobile phones while driving (49 CFR § 392.82)
• Texting while driving (49 CFR § 392.80)
• Any activity that diverts attention from safe driving

Evidence we gather:

• Cell phone records
• ELD data showing erratic driving patterns
• Witness statements about driver behavior
• Dashcam footage

Improper Maintenance and Equipment Failure

Poor maintenance causes thousands of trucking accidents each year. Common equipment failures include:

• Brake failures – worn pads, improper adjustment, air system leaks
• Tire blowouts – underinflation, overloading, worn tread
• Steering failures – worn components, hydraulic leaks
• Lighting failures – non-functioning headlights, brake lights, turn signals
• Coupling device failures – trailer hitch separations

FMCSA maintenance requirements (49 CFR Part 396):

• Systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance
• Annual inspections
• Driver pre-trip and post-trip inspections
• Record retention for 1 year

How we prove maintenance violations:

• Maintenance records showing deferred repairs
• Inspection reports with noted defects
• Post-accident vehicle inspections
• Expert analysis of failed components

Cargo Securement Failures

Improperly secured cargo causes rollovers, spills, and loss-of-control accidents. Common cargo securement violations include:

• Inadequate tiedowns – not enough or not strong enough
• Improper distribution – uneven weight causing instability
• Liquid cargo slosh – shifting liquids destabilizing the truck
• Overweight loads – exceeding vehicle capacity
• Hazardous materials – improper containment or labeling

FMCSA cargo securement standards (49 CFR Part 393):

• Cargo must be contained, immobilized, or secured
• Must withstand 0.8g deceleration forward, 0.5g acceleration rearward, 0.5g lateral
• Specific requirements for different cargo types

Evidence we gather:

• Cargo manifest and loading records
• Securement equipment inspection
• Weight tickets from weigh stations
• Expert analysis of load distribution

Driver Qualification Violations

Trucking companies must ensure drivers are qualified and properly trained. Common violations include:

• Hiring unlicensed drivers – no CDL or improper endorsement
• Hiring drivers with poor safety records – previous accidents or violations
• Inadequate medical certification – undiagnosed sleep apnea, heart conditions
• Lack of proper training – no training on cargo securement, hours of service
• Failure to monitor drivers – no performance reviews or disciplinary records

FMCSA driver qualification requirements (49 CFR Part 391):

• Complete Driver Qualification File for each driver
• Background check and driving record review
• Medical certification
• Road test or equivalent
• Drug and alcohol testing

How we prove qualification violations:

• Driver Qualification File (or lack thereof)
• Employment application and background check
• Medical certification records
• Training documentation

Types of Trucking Accidents We Handle in Lynn County

Jackknife Accidents

A jackknife occurs when the trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, often blocking multiple lanes of traffic. These accidents are particularly dangerous because:

• The trailer can sweep across multiple lanes in seconds
• Following vehicles have no time to react
• The truck becomes a massive barrier across the highway

Common causes in Lynn County:

• Sudden braking on our rural highways
• Speeding on curves or in adverse conditions
• Empty or lightly loaded trailers (more prone to swing)
• Improperly loaded cargo shifting during transit
• Brake failures or improper brake adjustment

Evidence we gather:

• Skid mark analysis showing trailer angle
• Brake inspection records
• Cargo securement documentation
• ELD data showing speed and braking

Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents occur when a truck tips onto its side or roof. These are among the most catastrophic trucking accidents because:

• The massive weight causes devastating impact forces
• Cargo can spill, creating additional hazards
• The truck may block multiple lanes for hours

Common causes in Lynn County:

• Speeding on rural highway curves
• Taking turns too sharply at excessive speed
• Improperly secured or unevenly distributed cargo
• Liquid cargo “slosh” shifting center of gravity
• Overcorrection after tire blowout or lane departure

Evidence we gather:

• ECM data showing speed through curve
• Cargo manifest and securement documentation
• Road geometry analysis
• Driver training records

Underride Collisions

Underride collisions occur when a passenger vehicle crashes into the rear or side of a trailer and slides underneath. These are among the deadliest trucking accidents because:

• The trailer height often shears off the passenger compartment
• Occupants suffer catastrophic head and neck injuries
• Fatalities are extremely common

Types of underride accidents:

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

Federal requirements:

• Rear impact guards required on trailers manufactured after 1/26/1998 (49 CFR § 393.86)
• Guards must prevent underride at 30 mph impact
• NO federal requirement for side underride guards

Evidence we gather:

• Underride guard inspection and maintenance records
• Crash dynamics showing underride depth
• Guard installation and certification records
• Lighting compliance documentation

Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end collisions occur when a truck strikes the back of another vehicle. Due to the truck’s massive weight and longer stopping distances, these accidents cause devastating injuries.

Common causes in Lynn County:

• Following too closely on our rural highways
• Driver distraction (cell phone, dispatch communications)
• Driver fatigue and delayed reaction
• Excessive speed for traffic conditions
• Brake failures from poor maintenance

FMCSA following distance requirements (49 CFR § 392.11):

• Drivers must maintain a safe following distance
• Must be able to stop within the available sight distance

Evidence we gather:

• ECM data showing following distance and speed
• ELD data for fatigue analysis
• Cell phone records for distraction evidence
• Brake inspection and maintenance records

Wide Turn Accidents (“Squeeze Play”)

Wide turn accidents occur when a truck swings wide (often to the left) before making a right turn, creating a gap that other vehicles enter. The truck then completes its turn, crushing the vehicle that entered the gap.

Why trucks make wide turns:

• Trailers track inside the path of the cab
• Drivers must swing wide to avoid curbs, signs, or buildings
• Our rural intersections often lack adequate turning space

Common causes in Lynn County:

• Failure to properly signal turning intention
• Inadequate mirror checks before and during turns
• Improper turn technique (swinging too early or too wide)
• Driver inexperience with trailer tracking
• Failure to yield right-of-way when completing turn

Evidence we gather:

• Turn signal activation data from ECM
• Mirror condition and adjustment records
• Driver training records on turning procedures
• Intersection geometry analysis
• Witness statements about turn execution

Blind Spot Accidents (“No-Zone”)

Trucks have massive blind spots where the driver cannot see other vehicles. These “No-Zones” are particularly dangerous:

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 – MOST DANGEROUS (much larger than left side)

Common causes in Lynn County:

• Failure to check mirrors before lane changes
• Improperly adjusted or damaged mirrors
• Inadequate mirror checking during sustained maneuvers
• Driver distraction during lane changes
• Failure to use turn signals

FMCSA mirror requirements (49 CFR § 393.80):

• Must provide clear view to the rear on both sides
• Proper mirror adjustment is part of driver pre-trip inspection

Evidence we gather:

• Mirror condition and adjustment at time of crash
• Lane change data from ECM/telematics
• Turn signal activation records
• Driver training on blind spot awareness

Tire Blowout Accidents

Tire blowouts cause thousands of trucking accidents each year. A blowout can cause the driver to lose control, resulting in jackknife, rollover, or multi-vehicle accidents.

Common causes in Lynn County:

• Underinflated tires causing overheating
• Overloaded vehicles exceeding tire capacity
• Worn or aging tires not replaced
• Road debris punctures
• Manufacturing defects
• Improper tire matching on dual wheels

FMCSA tire requirements (49 CFR § 393.75):

• Minimum tread depth: 4/32″ on steer tires, 2/32″ on other positions
• No audible air leaks
• No exposed fabric or cord
• No tread or sidewall separation

Evidence we gather:

• Tire maintenance and inspection records
• Tire age and wear documentation
• Vehicle weight records from weigh stations
• Failed tire for defect analysis

Brake Failure Accidents

Brake problems are a factor in approximately 29% of large truck crashes. Brake failures often result from systematic maintenance neglect.

Common causes in Lynn County:

• Worn brake pads or shoes not replaced
• Improper brake adjustment (too loose)
• Air brake system leaks or failures
• Overheated brakes (brake fade) on long descents
• Contaminated brake fluid
• Defective brake components

FMCSA brake requirements (49 CFR § 393.40-55):

• Service brakes on all wheels
• Parking/emergency brake system
• Air brake pushrod travel limits
• Proper adjustment and maintenance

Evidence we gather:

• Brake inspection and maintenance records
• Out-of-service inspection history
• ECM data showing brake application and effectiveness
• Post-crash brake system analysis

Cargo Spill/Shift Accidents

Cargo spill and shift accidents occur when improperly secured cargo falls from a truck or shifts during transit, causing instability.

Types of cargo accidents:

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

Common causes in Lynn County:

• Inadequate tiedowns (insufficient number or strength)
• Improper loading distribution
• Failure to use blocking, bracing, or friction mats
• Tiedown failure due to wear or damage
• Overloading beyond securement capacity
• Failure to re-inspect cargo during trip

FMCSA cargo securement standards (49 CFR § 393.100-136):

• Cargo must be contained, immobilized, or secured
• Working load limits for tiedowns specified
• Specific requirements by cargo type

Evidence we gather:

• Cargo securement inspection photos
• Bill of lading and cargo manifest
• Loading company records
• Tiedown specifications and condition

Who We Hold Accountable in Lynn County Trucking Cases

• Citizen complaints about condition

The Evidence That Wins Trucking Cases in Lynn County

Electronic Evidence: The Black Box and ELD Data

Commercial trucks have sophisticated electronic systems that record critical data:

System	What It Records
ECM (Engine Control Module)	Engine performance, speed, throttle, RPM, cruise control, fault codes
EDR (Event Data Recorder)	Pre-crash data triggered by sudden deceleration or airbag deployment
ELD (Electronic Logging Device)	Driver hours, duty status, GPS location, driving time
Telematics	Real-time GPS tracking, speed, route, driver behavior
Dashcam	Video of road ahead, some record cab interior

Critical data points we recover:

• 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.

Driver Records

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

• Employment application
• Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) from state licensing authority
• Road test certificate or equivalent
• Medical examiner’s certificate
• Annual driving record review
• Previous employer inquiries (3-year driving history)
• Drug and alcohol test records

Why DQ Files are critical:
Missing or incomplete files prove negligent hiring. We subpoena these records in every trucking case to identify hiring violations.

Hours of Service Records

ELD Mandate (49 CFR § 395.8):
Since December 18, 2017, most CMV drivers must use ELDs that:

• Automatically record driving time
• Synchronize with vehicle engine to record objective data
• Cannot be altered after the fact (unlike paper logs)
• Record GPS location, speed, engine hours

Why ELD data is critical:
ELDs prove whether drivers violated federal rest requirements. Hours of service violations are among the most common causes of trucking accidents and are strong evidence of negligence.

Maintenance Records

FMCSA Maintenance Requirements (49 CFR Part 396):

• Systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance
• Driver pre-trip and post-trip inspections
• Annual inspections
• Record retention for 1 year

Critical maintenance records:

• Brake inspection and adjustment records
• Tire replacement and pressure records
• Lighting and electrical system maintenance
• Steering and suspension repairs
• Coupling device inspections
• Out-of-service orders and repairs

Drug and Alcohol Testing

FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Testing (49 CFR Part 382):

• Pre-employment testing
• Random testing
• Post-accident testing
• Reasonable suspicion testing
• Return-to-duty testing
• Follow-up testing

Why testing records matter:
Failed tests prove driver impairment. Missing tests prove company negligence in monitoring driver fitness.

Cell Phone Records

FMCSA Mobile Phone Restrictions (49 CFR § 392.82):

• Prohibits hand-held mobile telephone use while driving
• Prohibits reaching for mobile phone in manner requiring leaving seated position
• Prohibits texting while driving (49 CFR § 392.80)

Why cell phone records matter:
Cell phone records prove distracted driving. We subpoena these records to show whether the driver was texting, talking, or using apps at the time of the accident.

Witness Statements

Critical witnesses in Lynn County trucking cases:

• Other drivers who witnessed the accident
• Passengers in your vehicle
• Pedestrians or bystanders
• First responders
• Truck stop or weigh station personnel
• Other truck drivers who observed the driver’s behavior

Why witness statements matter:
Independent witnesses corroborate your version of events. Their testimony can be crucial when liability is disputed.

Accident Reconstruction

What accident reconstruction experts do:

• Analyze skid marks and vehicle damage
• Reconstruct the sequence of events
• Calculate speeds and following distances
• Determine points of impact
• Evaluate driver visibility and reaction times
• Assess whether evasive action was possible

Why reconstruction matters:
In complex cases, accident reconstruction provides scientific evidence of what happened and who was at fault.

Catastrophic Injuries from Lynn County Trucking Accidents

The physics of trucking accidents means catastrophic injuries are the norm, not the exception.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

What it is:
TBI occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. In trucking 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 and dizziness
• Memory loss and 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 trucking 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 trucking 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 employment benefits
• Loss of consortium (spousal companionship and relationship)
• Loss of parental guidance and nurturing (for surviving children)
• Mental anguish and emotional distress (for surviving family)
• 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 Lynn County 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 Recoverable in Lynn County Trucking Cases

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

Texas punitive damage cap:
Greater of:

• (2 × economic damages) + (non-economic damages capped at $750,000)
• OR $200,000

Nuclear Verdicts: What’s Possible in Trucking Cases

RECENT MAJOR TRUCKING VERDICTS (2024-2025):

Amount	Year	Location	Case Details
$462 Million	2024	St. Louis, MO	Wabash National – two fatalities in underride crash
$160 Million	2024	Alabama	Daimler – quadriplegic injury from rollover
$141.5 Million	2024	Florida	Defunct carrier crash
$90 Million	—	Houston, TX	Truck driver burned in explosion
$37.5 Million	2024	Texas	Trucking verdict
$35.5 Million	—	Texas	Family injured in truck accident
$35 Million	2025	Fort Worth, TX	Largest in Tarrant County

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 Lynn County 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.

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.

CRITICAL TIMELINES:

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

What Is A Spoliation Letter?

A spoliation letter is a formal legal notice sent to the trucking company, their insurer, and all potentially liable parties demanding preservation of all evidence related to the accident.

Why It Matters:

• Puts defendants on legal notice of their preservation obligation
• Creates serious consequences if evidence is destroyed
• Courts can impose sanctions, adverse inferences, or even default judgment for spoliation
• The sooner sent, the more weight it carries

When We Send It:
IMMEDIATELY – within 24-48 hours of being retained. We don’t wait.

What to Do After a Trucking Accident in Lynn County

Immediate Steps (If You’re Able)

1. Call 911 and report the accident

   • Request police and emergency medical services
   • Report all injuries, even if they seem minor

2. Seek medical attention immediately

   • Adrenaline masks pain after traumatic accidents
   • Internal injuries, TBI, and spinal injuries may not show symptoms immediately
   • Lynn County hospitals and trauma centers can identify injuries that will become critical evidence

3. Document the scene

   • Take photos of all vehicle damage
   • Photograph the accident scene, road conditions, skid marks
   • Take photos of your injuries
   • Get the trucking company name, DOT number, and driver information
   • Collect witness contact information

4. Do NOT give recorded statements

What NOT to Do

• Don’t delay medical treatment – Gaps in treatment give insurance companies ammunition

Common Questions About Lynn County Trucking Accidents

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

If you’ve been in a trucking accident in Lynn 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. Lynn County hospitals and trauma centers 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 Lynn 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 Lynn 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 Lynn 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.

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
• 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 consecutive hours off duty
• 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 Lynn 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 Lynn 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 Lynn 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 Lynn 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.
