Why Nolan County Trucking Accidents Are Different

Nolan County sits at a critical intersection of Texas’s trucking industry. With US-83 running north-south through Sweetwater and connecting to I-20 just to the north, our highways see heavy commercial traffic carrying everything from oilfield equipment to agricultural products.

The trucking corridors serving Nolan County include:

  • US-83 – The primary north-south route carrying freight between Abilene and Lubbock
  • I-20 – The major east-west interstate connecting Dallas/Fort Worth to El Paso
  • SH-70 – Serving local agricultural and oilfield traffic
  • FM 608 and FM 18 – Connecting rural areas to Sweetwater

These roads see a mix of long-haul truckers, local delivery vehicles, and oilfield equipment haulers. The diverse traffic patterns create unique accident risks that require local knowledge to navigate effectively.

The Physics of Disaster: Why Truck Crashes Are Catastrophic

The numbers don’t lie. When an 18-wheeler collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often devastating:

  • Weight Disparity: A fully loaded 18-wheeler weighs up to 80,000 pounds. The average passenger car weighs just 3,500-4,000 pounds. That’s 20-25 times heavier.
  • Stopping Distance: At 65 mph, an 18-wheeler needs approximately 525 feet to stop—nearly two football fields. A passenger car needs only about 300 feet.
  • Impact Force: The kinetic energy of an 80,000-pound truck at highway speed is approximately 80 times that of a passenger car. This energy transfers to the smaller vehicle in a crash.
  • Trailer Height: The average trailer is 13.5 feet tall. This creates deadly underride collisions where passenger vehicles slide underneath the trailer, often shearing off the roof and causing decapitation.

In Nolan County, these physics play out on our local roads with tragic consequences. The Sweetwater Medical Center and Rolling Plains Memorial Hospital often see the most severe injuries from these crashes.

Common Types of 18-Wheeler Accidents in Nolan County

Jackknife Accidents

Jackknife accidents occur when the trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, forming an angle like a folding pocket knife. These are particularly dangerous on Nolan County’s highways because:

  • They often block multiple lanes of traffic
  • The swinging trailer can strike multiple vehicles
  • They’re more likely to occur on wet or icy roads
  • Empty or lightly loaded trailers are more prone to jackknifing

Common causes in Nolan County:

  • Sudden braking on US-83, especially near the I-20 interchange
  • Speeding on curves, particularly on FM 608
  • Improperly loaded cargo shifting suddenly
  • Brake failures, especially on long descents

Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents are among the most catastrophic truck crashes. In Nolan County, they’re particularly common:

  • On exit ramps from I-20 to Sweetwater
  • On rural roads with soft shoulders
  • During sudden maneuvers to avoid animals or debris
  • When liquid cargo (like oilfield chemicals) shifts suddenly

Why they happen in our area:

  • High center of gravity from heavy loads
  • Speeding on rural roads with loose gravel
  • Overcorrection after running off the road
  • Wind gusts on exposed stretches of highway

Underride Collisions

Underride collisions are among the deadliest truck accidents. They occur when a passenger vehicle slides underneath the trailer of an 18-wheeler. In Nolan County, these are especially dangerous because:

  • Many local roads have older trailers without proper underride guards
  • Poor lighting on rural highways increases the risk
  • The height mismatch between trucks and cars is particularly deadly

Two types of underride accidents:

  1. Rear Underride: Vehicle strikes the back of a trailer
  2. Side Underride: Vehicle strikes the side of a trailer during turns or lane changes

Federal regulations require rear underride guards, but there are no federal requirements for side underride guards—despite the fact that side underride accidents are often fatal.

Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end collisions are the second most common type of large truck crash. In Nolan County, they’re particularly dangerous because:

  • Trucks need significantly more stopping distance than cars
  • Distracted driving is common on long, straight stretches of US-83
  • Following too closely is a persistent problem on I-20

Common causes in our area:

  • Driver fatigue from long hauls
  • Distracted driving (cell phones, dispatch communications)
  • Brake failures from deferred maintenance
  • Failure to adjust speed for weather conditions

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.

Where they happen in Nolan County:

  • Downtown Sweetwater intersections
  • US-83 and SH-70 intersection
  • Rural intersections where drivers misjudge truck turning radius

Why they’re so dangerous:

  • Trucks need significant space to complete turns
  • The trailer tracks inside the path of the cab
  • Drivers often swing wide to avoid curbs, signs, or buildings
  • Passenger vehicle drivers don’t understand the truck’s turning path

Blind Spot Accidents (“No-Zone”)

Trucks have massive blind spots—areas where the driver cannot see other vehicles. These are called “No-Zones.”

The Four 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 the cab door backward
  4. Right Side No-Zone: Extends from the cab door backward and is much larger than the left side

Why blind spot accidents happen in Nolan County:

  • Drivers fail to check mirrors before lane changes
  • Improperly adjusted or damaged mirrors
  • Distracted driving during lane changes
  • Failure to use turn signals
  • Passenger vehicles lingering in blind spots

Tire Blowout Accidents

Tire blowouts are particularly common in Nolan County due to:

  • Extreme heat during summer months
  • Rough road surfaces on rural highways
  • Overloaded vehicles exceeding tire capacity
  • Worn or aging tires not replaced

Why they’re so dangerous:

  • Steer tire (front) blowouts can cause immediate loss of control
  • Debris from blowouts can strike following vehicles
  • The sudden loss of control often leads to jackknife or rollover accidents

Brake Failure Accidents

Brake problems are a factor in approximately 29% of large truck crashes. In Nolan County, brake failures are particularly common because:

  • Long descents on rural highways cause brake fade
  • Deferred maintenance to save costs
  • Improper brake adjustments
  • Worn brake pads or shoes not replaced

Common brake failure scenarios in our area:

  • Runaway trucks on long descents
  • Failure to stop at railroad crossings
  • Inability to slow for traffic or obstacles
  • Sudden loss of braking power

Cargo Spill/Shift Accidents

Cargo-related accidents are a significant problem in Nolan County due to:

  • Agricultural products being transported
  • Oilfield equipment and materials
  • Improperly secured loads
  • Overweight vehicles

Types of cargo accidents:

  1. Cargo Shift: Load moves during transit, destabilizing the truck
  2. Cargo Spill: Load falls from the truck onto the roadway
  3. Hazmat Spill: Hazardous materials leak or spill, creating additional dangers

Common causes in Nolan County:

  • Inadequate tiedowns
  • Improper loading distribution
  • Failure to use blocking, bracing, or friction mats
  • Tiedown failure due to wear or damage
  • Overloading beyond securement capacity

Why Trucking Companies Fight So Hard

Trucking companies have one goal: to pay you as little as possible. They employ aggressive tactics to minimize your claim:

  1. Rapid Response Teams: They dispatch investigators within hours to protect their interests
  2. Evidence Destruction: Black box data can be overwritten in 30 days
  3. Lowball Offers: First offers are designed to pay you far less than your case is worth
  4. Victim Blaming: They’ll claim you were at fault to reduce their liability
  5. Delay Tactics: They hope you’ll give up or accept a low offer

Our Insider Advantage: Our firm includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who knows exactly how these companies operate. He spent years on the other side—now he’s on yours.

Common Questions About Nolan County Trucking Accident Cases

Q: How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a trucking accident in Nolan County?

A: In Texas, you have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, you should never wait. Evidence disappears quickly in trucking cases. The sooner you contact us, the stronger your case will be.

Q: How much is my Nolan County trucking accident case worth?

A: 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.

Q: Will my case go to trial?

A: 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.

Q: What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

A: Texas uses a “modified comparative negligence” system. You can recover damages as long as you’re not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Q: What if the truck driver was an independent contractor?

A: Even if the driver was an owner-operator, both the driver and the contracting company may be liable. We investigate all relationships and insurance policies to ensure you can recover from the responsible parties.

Q: What if the trucking company goes bankrupt?

A: We identify all available insurance coverage, including:

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

Multiple policies often apply in trucking cases, providing additional sources of recovery.

Q: How do I pay for medical treatment while my case is pending?

A: We can help you:

  • Use your health insurance
  • Work with medical providers who treat on a lien basis
  • Access Letter of Protection (LOP) treatment
  • Find specialists who understand trucking accident injuries

Q: What if the trucking company offers me a quick settlement?

A: Never accept a quick settlement without consulting an attorney. These offers are designed to pay you far less than your case is worth before you understand the full extent of your injuries.

Q: Can I sue if my loved one was killed in a Nolan County trucking accident?

A: Yes. 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

Q: What if the truck was carrying hazardous materials?

A: Hazmat trucking accidents create additional liability. These trucks must carry $5 million in insurance coverage. We investigate:

  • Proper placarding
  • Securement of hazardous cargo
  • Driver training and certification
  • Emergency response protocols
