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

When an 80,000-Pound Truck Changes Your Life in an Instant

Every year, thousands of Texans are devastated by 18-wheeler accidents on our state’s highways. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a trucking accident in Roberts County, you need to understand your rights and the unique challenges these cases present. Unlike typical car accidents, 18-wheeler crashes involve complex federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and trucking companies with teams of lawyers working to minimize your claim.

At Attorney911, we’ve been fighting for truck accident victims across Texas 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 the Roberts County trucking corridors, the local courts, and exactly how to hold negligent trucking companies accountable.

The Stark Reality of 18-Wheeler Accidents in Roberts County

Roberts County sits at a critical juncture in Texas’s vast trucking network. While it may not have the heavy traffic of Dallas or Houston, its position along major freight routes means that commercial trucks are a constant presence. The combination of long-haul drivers, agricultural transport, and oilfield equipment creates a unique risk environment for local residents and travelers alike.

Why Roberts County Trucking Accidents Are Different

1. Long-Haul Fatigue: Many trucks passing through Roberts County are on cross-country routes. Drivers may be pushing their hours of service limits to meet delivery deadlines.
2. Mixed Traffic Patterns: The blend of local traffic, agricultural vehicles, and commercial trucks creates complex driving conditions.
3. Weather Challenges: The Texas Panhandle experiences extreme weather that can affect road conditions and truck handling.
4. Oilfield Equipment: The presence of oversized loads and specialized equipment adds another layer of risk.
5. Limited Emergency Services: Rural areas mean longer response times for emergency medical services after accidents.

Common Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents in Roberts County

Understanding what causes these catastrophic accidents is the first step in building your case. In Roberts County, we frequently see:

Driver Fatigue: The Silent Killer on Our Highways

Fatigue is one of the leading causes of trucking accidents nationwide, and Roberts County is no exception. Federal regulations limit drivers to 11 hours of driving after 10 consecutive hours off duty, but we regularly find violations in accident cases.

How we prove fatigue in your case:

• Obtaining Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data showing hours of service violations
• Reviewing dispatch records that may pressure drivers to exceed limits
• Analyzing GPS data to track driving patterns
• Examining the driver’s work history and sleep patterns

“The truck driver had been on the road for 14 hours. That’s illegal. And now you’re paying the price.” — Ralph Manginello, Attorney911 Managing Partner

Distracted Driving: The Modern Epidemic

With the proliferation of smartphones and in-cab technology, distracted driving has become a major issue in trucking accidents. Federal regulations specifically prohibit texting and hand-held phone use while driving commercial vehicles.

Common distractions we investigate:

• Texting or using smartphones
• Using dispatch communication systems
• Eating or drinking while driving
• Adjusting GPS or other in-cab devices
• External distractions (billboards, scenery)

Improper Maintenance: When Trucking Companies Cut Corners

Trucking companies are required to systematically inspect, repair, and maintain their vehicles. When they fail to do so, catastrophic accidents can result.

Maintenance failures we commonly find:

• Brake system deficiencies (29% of truck accidents involve brake problems)
• Worn or defective tires
• Faulty lighting or reflectors
• Steering system failures
• Suspension problems

Cargo Securement Failures: When Loads Become Deadly

Improperly secured cargo can shift during transit, causing rollovers or spilling onto roadways. Federal regulations specify exact requirements for cargo securement based on cargo type.

Cargo-related accident types we see in Roberts County:

• Rollover accidents from shifted loads
• Debris spills creating road hazards
• Overweight loads causing brake failures
• Improperly balanced loads affecting handling

Speeding and Reckless Driving: The Need for Speed Kills

Trucks require significantly more distance to stop than passenger vehicles. When truck drivers speed or drive recklessly, the consequences can be deadly.

Speed-related issues we investigate:

• Excessive speed for road conditions
• Following too closely
• Improper lane changes
• Failure to adjust speed for weather
• Aggressive driving behaviors

The Catastrophic Injuries That Change Lives Forever

The physics of 18-wheeler accidents make catastrophic injuries the norm, not the exception. A fully loaded truck can weigh 20-25 times more than a passenger vehicle, and the impact forces are devastating.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): The Invisible Devastation

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

Symptoms we see in our clients:

• Headaches and dizziness
• Memory loss and confusion
• Difficulty concentrating
• Mood changes and depression
• Sleep disturbances
• Sensory problems (vision, hearing)
• Speech difficulties

Lifetime care costs: $85,000 to $3,000,000+ depending on severity

Spinal Cord Injuries: When Mobility Is Lost Forever

Damage to the spinal cord disrupts communication between the brain and body, often resulting in paralysis.

Types of paralysis we see:

• 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

Lifetime care costs:

• Paraplegia: $1.1 million to $2.5 million+
• Quadriplegia: $3.5 million to $5 million+

Amputations: When Limbs Are Lost in an Instant

Amputations can occur at the scene due to crushing forces or may be required surgically after severe damage.

Ongoing medical needs:

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

Severe Burns: The Agony of Thermal Trauma

Burns occur from fuel tank ruptures, hazmat cargo spills, electrical fires, or friction burns from road contact.

Burn classification:

• First-degree: Epidermis only (minor)
• Second-degree: Epidermis and dermis (may scar)
• Third-degree: Full thickness (requires grafting)
• Fourth-degree: Through skin to muscle/bone

Long-term consequences:

• Permanent scarring and disfigurement
• Multiple reconstructive surgeries
• Chronic pain
• Infection risks
• Psychological trauma

Wrongful Death: When Families Are Left Devastated

When a trucking accident takes a loved one, surviving family members can pursue wrongful death claims.

Who can bring a wrongful death claim in Texas:

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

Damages available:

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

The Trucking Company’s Playbook: How They Try to Avoid Responsibility

Trucking companies have well-developed strategies to minimize or deny legitimate claims. Our firm includes a former insurance defense attorney who knows exactly how these companies operate from the inside.

The Rapid Response Team: Protecting Their Interests, Not Yours

Within hours of an accident, trucking companies deploy rapid response teams to:

• Secure and potentially destroy evidence
• Interview witnesses before you can
• Influence the police report
• Begin building their defense strategy

Why you need to act immediately: Critical evidence like black box data, dashcam footage, and driver logs can be overwritten or deleted within days.

The Lowball Offer: Paying You Pennies on the Dollar

Insurance adjusters are trained to make quick, low settlement offers before you understand the full extent of your injuries. These offers are designed to:

• Close your claim quickly
• Pay you far less than your case is worth
• Get you to sign away your rights before consulting an attorney

“The insurance adjuster called me the day after my accident. They offered me $5,000. I didn’t know my medical bills would be over $100,000.” — Former Client

The Blame Game: Shifting Responsibility to You

Common tactics to shift blame:

• Claiming you were in their blind spot
• Alleging you cut them off or merged improperly
• Arguing you were speeding or distracted
• Claiming mechanical failure was your fault

Texas comparative negligence rule: Even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% responsible. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

The Paperwork Trap: When Documentation Works Against You

Insurance companies will use:

• Any gaps in your medical treatment
• Social media posts showing you active
• Inconsistent statements you make
• Pre-existing conditions to deny claims

The Evidence That Can Make or Break Your Case

In 18-wheeler accident cases, evidence disappears fast. Trucking companies have rapid-response teams working to protect their interests. You need an attorney who moves just as fast.

Electronic Data: The Objective Truth

Modern trucks are equipped with sophisticated electronic systems that record critical data:

Engine Control Module (ECM)/Black Box:

• Speed before and during the crash
• Brake application timing
• Engine RPM and throttle position
• Whether cruise control was engaged
• Fault codes indicating mechanical issues

Electronic Logging Device (ELD):

• Driver hours of service
• Duty status changes
• GPS location
• Driving time
• Violations of federal rest requirements

GPS/Telematics Data:

• Real-time location history
• Speed throughout the trip
• Route taken
• Driver behavior metrics

Why this data is critical:
This objective data often contradicts what drivers claim happened. It can prove speeding, fatigue, or mechanical failures that the trucking company wants to hide.

Physical Evidence: The Silent Witnesses

The Truck and Trailer:

• Inspection of damage patterns
• Mechanical condition at time of accident
• Cargo securement devices
• Tire condition and wear patterns

Accident Scene Evidence:

• Skid marks and tire marks
• Road conditions and signage
• Debris patterns
• Surveillance footage from nearby businesses
• Traffic camera footage

Photographic Evidence:

• Vehicle damage (interior and exterior)
• Injuries (document progression over time)
• Road conditions
• Weather conditions
• Scene layout

Documentary Evidence: The Paper Trail

• Tire records and replacement history
• Parts purchase and installation records

Company Records:

• Hours of service records
• Dispatch logs and trip records
• Safety policies and procedures
• Training curricula
• Previous accident and violation history

Who Can Be Held Liable in Your Roberts County Trucking Accident

18-wheeler accidents are fundamentally different from car accidents because multiple parties can be responsible for your injuries. We investigate every possible defendant to maximize your recovery.

The Truck Driver: When Negligence Causes Devastation

The driver who caused the accident may be personally liable for their negligent conduct.

Common driver negligence claims:

• Speeding or reckless driving
• Distracted driving (cell phone use, in-cab electronics)
• Fatigued driving beyond legal limits
• Impaired driving (drugs, alcohol)
• Failure to conduct proper pre-trip inspections
• Violation of traffic laws
• Failure to yield, improper lane changes, running red lights

The Trucking Company: When Corporate Negligence Causes Harm

The trucking company is often the most important defendant because they have the deepest pockets (highest insurance limits).

Bases for trucking company liability:

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, driving record, or qualifications
• Negligent Training: Inadequate training on safety, cargo securement, hours of service
• Negligent Supervision: Failed to monitor driver performance, ELD compliance
• Negligent Maintenance: Failed to maintain vehicle in safe condition
• Negligent Scheduling: Pressured drivers to violate HOS regulations

The Cargo Owner/Shipper: When Improper Loading Causes Disaster

The company that owns the cargo and arranged for its shipment may be liable.

Bases for shipper liability:

• Provided improper loading instructions
• Failed to disclose hazardous nature of cargo
• Required overweight loading
• Pressured carrier to expedite beyond safe limits
• Misrepresented cargo weight or characteristics

The Cargo Loading Company: When Third Parties Create Danger

Third-party loading companies that physically load cargo onto trucks may be liable for improper securement.

Bases for loading company liability:

• Improper cargo securement
• Unbalanced load distribution
• Exceeding vehicle weight ratings
• Failure to use proper blocking, bracing, or tiedowns
• Not training loaders on securement requirements

Truck and Trailer Manufacturers: When Defective Products Cause Crashes

The company that manufactured the truck, trailer, or major components may be liable for defects.

Bases for manufacturer liability:

• Design defects (brake systems, stability control, fuel tank placement)
• Manufacturing defects (faulty welds, component failures)
• Failure to warn of known dangers
• Defective safety systems (ABS, ESC, collision warning)

Parts Manufacturers: When Component Failures Lead to Disaster

Companies that manufacture specific parts (brakes, tires, steering components) may be liable for defective products.

Common defective parts claims:

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

Maintenance Companies: When Poor Repairs Create Danger

Third-party maintenance companies that service trucking fleets may be liable for negligent repairs.

Bases for maintenance company liability:

• Negligent repairs that failed to fix problems
• Failure to identify critical safety issues
• Improper brake adjustments
• Using substandard or wrong parts
• Returning vehicles to service with known defects

Freight Brokers: When Negligent Carrier Selection Causes Harm

Freight brokers who arrange transportation but don’t own trucks may be liable for negligent carrier selection.

Bases for broker liability:

• 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

The Truck Owner: When Separate from the Carrier

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

Bases for owner liability:

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

Government Entities: When Road Conditions Contribute

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

Bases for government liability:

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

Special considerations in Texas:

• Sovereign immunity limits government liability
• Strict notice requirements and short deadlines
• Must prove actual notice of dangerous condition in many cases

The 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Protocol: Why Time Is Critical

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

Why 48 Hours Matters

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

The Spoliation Letter: Your Legal Shield

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 FMCSA Regulations That Trucking Companies Violate

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates all commercial motor vehicles operating in interstate commerce. These regulations are codified in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR), Parts 300-399.

Why FMCSA Regulations Matter For Your Case:

Every 18-wheeler on American highways must comply with these federal regulations. When trucking companies and drivers violate these rules, they create dangerous conditions that cause catastrophic accidents. Proving FMCSA violations is often the key to establishing negligence and securing maximum compensation.

Part 390: General Applicability and Definitions

Key Provisions:

• Defines who must comply with federal trucking regulations
• Applies to all motor carriers operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce
• Applies to all drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce
• Applies to all vehicles with GVWR over 10,001 lbs
• Applies to all vehicles designed to transport 16+ passengers (including driver)
• Applies to all vehicles transporting hazardous materials requiring placards

49 CFR § 390.3 – General Applicability:
“The rules in this subchapter are applicable to all employers, employees, and commercial motor vehicles that transport property or passengers in interstate commerce.”

Part 391: Driver Qualification Standards

Purpose: Establishes who is qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle.

Minimum Driver Qualifications (49 CFR § 391.11):

A person shall not drive a commercial motor vehicle unless they:

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

Driver Qualification File Requirements (49 CFR § 391.51):

Motor carriers MUST maintain a Driver Qualification (DQ) File for EVERY driver containing:

Document	Requirement
Employment Application	Completed per § 391.21
Motor Vehicle Record	From state licensing authority
Road Test Certificate	Or equivalent documentation
Medical Examiner’s Certificate	Current, valid (max 2 years)
Annual Driving Record Review	Must be conducted and documented
Previous Employer Inquiries	3-year driving history investigation
Drug & Alcohol Test Records	Pre-employment and random testing

Why This Matters For Your Case:

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

Physical Qualification Requirements (49 CFR § 391.41):

Drivers must be medically qualified to operate CMVs. Key requirements include:

• No loss of foot, leg, hand, or arm (without exemption)
• No established medical history of epilepsy or seizures
• No mental, nervous, or psychiatric disorder likely to interfere with safe driving
• No current clinical diagnosis of alcoholism
• No use of Schedule I controlled substances
• No use of non-Schedule I substances that impair driving ability
• Vision of at least 20/40 in each eye (with or without correction)
• Hearing adequate to perceive forced whisper at 5 feet

Part 392: Driving of Commercial Motor Vehicles

Purpose: Establishes rules for the safe operation of CMVs.

Ill or Fatigued Operators (49 CFR § 392.3):
“No driver shall operate a commercial motor vehicle, and a motor carrier shall not require or permit a driver to operate a commercial motor vehicle, while the driver’s ability or alertness is so impaired, or so likely to become impaired, through fatigue, illness, or any other cause, as to make it unsafe for him/her to begin or continue to operate the commercial motor vehicle.”

Why This Matters: This regulation makes BOTH the driver AND the trucking company liable when a fatigued driver causes an accident.

Drugs and Other Substances (49 CFR § 392.4):
A driver shall not be on duty or operate a CMV while:

1. Under the influence of any Schedule I substance
2. Under the influence of an amphetamine, narcotic, or any substance that renders them incapable of safe driving
3. Possessing a Schedule I substance (unless prescription)

Alcohol (49 CFR § 392.5):
A driver shall not:

1. Use alcohol within 4 hours before going on duty or operating a CMV
2. Use alcohol while on duty or operating a CMV
3. Be under the influence of alcohol (.04 BAC or higher) while on duty
4. Possess any alcohol while on duty (with limited exceptions)

Speeding (49 CFR § 392.6):
“No motor carrier shall schedule a run, nor shall any such carrier permit or require the operation of any commercial motor vehicle, between points in such period of time as would require the commercial motor vehicle to be operated at speeds in excess of those prescribed by the jurisdictions in or through which the commercial motor vehicle is being operated.”

Following Too Closely (49 CFR § 392.11):
“The driver of a motor vehicle shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of such vehicle and the traffic upon, and conditions of, the highway.”

Mobile Phone Use (49 CFR § 392.82):
Drivers are PROHIBITED from:

• Using a hand-held mobile telephone while driving
• Reaching for mobile phone in manner requiring leaving seated position
• Texting while driving (49 CFR § 392.80)

Part 393: Parts and Accessories for Safe Operation

Purpose: Establishes equipment and cargo securement standards.

Cargo Securement (49 CFR § 393.100-136):

General Requirements (§ 393.100):
Cargo must be contained, immobilized, or secured to prevent:

• Leaking, spilling, blowing, or falling from the vehicle
• Shifting that affects vehicle stability or maneuverability
• Blocking the driver’s view or interfering with operation

Performance Criteria (§ 393.102):
Cargo securement systems must withstand:

• Forward: 0.8 g deceleration (sudden stop)
• Rearward: 0.5 g acceleration
• Lateral: 0.5 g (side-to-side)
• Downward: At least 20% of cargo weight if not fully contained

Tiedown Requirements:

• Aggregate working load limit must be at least 50% of cargo weight for loose cargo
• At least one tiedown for cargo 5 feet or less in length
• At least two tiedowns for cargo over 5 feet or under 1,100 lbs
• Additional tiedowns for every 10 feet of cargo length

Brakes (49 CFR § 393.40-55):

All CMVs must have properly functioning brake systems:

• Service brakes on all wheels
• Parking/emergency brake system
• Air brake systems must meet specific requirements
• Brake adjustment must be maintained within specifications

Lighting (49 CFR § 393.11-26):

Required lighting includes:

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

Why This Matters: Violations of cargo securement cause rollover, jackknife, and spill accidents. Brake failures cause rear-end collisions. We investigate every vehicle system when building your case.

Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS) Regulations

Purpose: Prevents driver fatigue by limiting driving time and requiring rest.

THESE ARE THE MOST COMMONLY VIOLATED REGULATIONS IN TRUCKING ACCIDENTS.

Property-Carrying Drivers (Most 18-Wheelers):

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

Sleeper Berth Provision (49 CFR § 395.1(g)):

Drivers using sleeper berth may split 10-hour off-duty period:

• At least 7 consecutive hours in sleeper berth
• Plus at least 2 consecutive hours off-duty (in berth or otherwise)
• Neither period counts against 14-hour window

Electronic Logging Device (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 Evidence:

ELDs prove:

• Exactly how long the driver was on duty
• Whether breaks were taken as required
• Speed before and during the accident
• GPS location history
• Any HOS violations

WE SEND SPOLIATION LETTERS IMMEDIATELY TO PRESERVE THIS DATA.

Part 396: Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance

Purpose: Ensures CMVs are maintained in safe operating condition.

General Maintenance Requirement (§ 396.3):
“Every motor carrier and intermodal equipment provider must systematically inspect, repair, and maintain, or cause to be systematically inspected, repaired, and maintained, all motor vehicles and intermodal equipment subject to its control.”

Driver Inspection Requirements:

Pre-Trip Inspection (§ 396.13):
Before driving, drivers must be satisfied the CMV is in safe operating condition. Must review last driver vehicle inspection report if defects were noted.

Post-Trip Report (§ 396.11):
After each day’s driving, drivers must prepare written report on vehicle condition covering at minimum:

• Service brakes
• Parking brake
• Steering mechanism
• Lighting devices and reflectors
• Tires
• Horn
• Windshield wipers
• Rear vision mirrors
• Coupling devices
• Wheels and rims
• Emergency equipment

Annual Inspection (§ 396.17):
Every CMV must pass a comprehensive annual inspection covering 16+ systems. Inspection decal must be displayed. Records must be retained for 14 months.

Maintenance Record Retention (§ 396.3):
Motor carriers must maintain records for each vehicle showing:

• Identification (make, serial number, year, tire size)
• Schedule for inspection, repair, and maintenance
• Record of repairs and maintenance
• Records must be retained for 1 year

Why This Matters: Brake failures cause 29% of truck accidents. If the trucking company failed to maintain proper records or deferred maintenance, they are liable for negligence.

The Most Common FMCSA Violations We Find in Roberts County Trucking Cases

1. Hours of Service Violations – Driving beyond 11-hour limit, no breaks
2. False Log Entries – Falsifying ELD or paper log records
3. Failure to Maintain Brakes – Worn brakes, improper adjustment
4. Cargo Securement Failures – Inadequate tiedowns, shifting loads
5. Unqualified Driver – Operating without valid CDL or medical certificate
6. Drug/Alcohol Violations – Operating under influence, failed tests
7. Mobile Phone Use – Texting, hand-held phone while driving
8. Failure to Inspect – No pre-trip inspection, ignored defects
9. Improper Lighting – Non-functioning lights, missing reflectors
10. Negligent Hiring – No background check, incomplete DQ file

How We Prove Violations:

Evidence Type	What It Shows
ELD Data	Hours of service violations, driving time
ECM/Black Box	Speed, braking, throttle position
Driver Qualification File	Hiring negligence, training gaps
Maintenance Records	Deferred repairs, known defects
Inspection Reports	Pre-existing violations
Drug/Alcohol Tests	Impairment at time of accident
Dispatch Records	Pressure to violate HOS

The Insurance Battle: What You’re Really Up Against

Trucking companies and their insurers have one goal: to pay you as little as possible. Our firm includes a former insurance defense attorney who knows exactly how these companies operate from the inside.

The Minimum Insurance Requirements That Protect You

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

Federal Minimum Liability Limits:

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

Why This Matters For Your Case:

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

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

The Types of Damages You Can Recover

Economic Damages (Calculable Losses):

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

Non-Economic Damages (Quality of Life):

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

Punitive Damages (Punishment for Gross Negligence):

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

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

The Nuclear Verdicts That Are Changing the Industry

Recent Major Trucking Verdicts (2024-2025):

Amount	Year	Location	Case Details
$462 Million	2024	St. Louis, MO	Wabash National – two fatalities from underride collision
$160 Million	2024	Alabama	Daimler – quadriplegic injury from rollover due to defective design
$141.5 Million	2024	Florida	Defunct carrier crash – catastrophic injuries
$90 Million	2023	Houston, TX	Truck driver burned in explosion
$37.5 Million	2024	Texas	Trucking verdict for catastrophic injuries
$35.5 Million	2023	Texas	Family injured in truck accident
$35 Million	2025	Fort Worth, TX	Largest verdict in Tarrant County history

Historic Landmark Verdicts:

Amount	Year	Case Details

$411 Million	2020	Florida – 45-vehicle pileup, motorcyclist severely injured

Why Nuclear Verdicts Happen:

Juries award massive verdicts when they find:

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

What This Means For Your Case:

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

Common Questions About 18-Wheeler Accidents in Roberts County

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

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

1. Call 911 and report the accident
2. Seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor
3. Document the scene with photos and video if possible
4. Get the trucking company name, DOT number, and driver information
5. Collect witness contact information
6. Do NOT give recorded statements to any insurance company
7. 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. Roberts 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 Roberts 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 Roberts 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.

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

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

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

This objective data often contradicts what drivers claim happened.

What is an ELD and why is it important?

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

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

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

What records should my attorney get from the trucking company?

We pursue:

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

Who can I sue after an 18-wheeler accident in Roberts 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 less 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) that record operational data – similar to an airplane’s black box. 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 in my case?

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.

What injuries are common in 18-wheeler accidents in Roberts 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 Roberts 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 Roberts 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 Roberts 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.

The Roberts County Trucking Corridors We Know Best

Roberts County sits at a critical juncture in Texas’s vast trucking network. While it may not have the heavy traffic of Dallas or Houston, its position along major freight routes means that commercial trucks are a constant presence. Here are the key trucking corridors we monitor in Roberts County:

U.S. Highway 60: The Panhandle’s Lifeline

U.S. 60 runs east-west through Roberts County, connecting the Texas Panhandle with the rest of the state. This route sees significant truck traffic, particularly:

• Agricultural products from the Panhandle’s farms
• Oilfield equipment and supplies
• Livestock transport
• General freight moving between Amarillo and Oklahoma

Common accident types we see on U.S. 60:

• Rear-end collisions from sudden stops
• Rollover accidents from shifting loads
• Fatigue-related crashes from long-haul drivers
• Winter weather accidents

State Highway 70: Connecting the Panhandle to the Permian Basin

Highway 70 runs north-south through Roberts County, providing a critical connection between the Panhandle and the oil-rich Permian Basin to the south. This route sees:

• Oilfield equipment and supplies
• Agricultural products
• Livestock transport
• General freight

Common accident types we see on Highway 70:

• Overweight load accidents
• Fatigue-related crashes
• Distracted driving accidents
• Improper maintenance failures

The I-40 Corridor: The Transcontinental Freight Highway

While I-40 doesn’t run through Roberts County, it’s just north of the county line and serves as a major transcontinental freight route. Many trucks traveling through Roberts County are either coming from or going to I-40, which carries:

• Cross-country freight
• Agricultural products
• Manufactured goods
• Hazardous materials

Common accident types we see related to I-40 traffic:

• Fatigue-related crashes from long-haul drivers
• Speed-related accidents
• Cargo securement failures
• Winter weather accidents

Local Roads and County Highways

Roberts County’s network of local roads and county highways sees a mix of:

• Passenger vehicles

Common accident types on local roads:

• Intersection accidents
• Wide turn accidents (“squeeze play”)
• Blind spot accidents
• Improper maintenance failures

The Unique Challenges of Rural Trucking Accidents

Roberts County’s rural nature creates unique challenges in trucking accident cases:

1. Limited Emergency Services: Rural areas mean longer response times for emergency medical services and law enforcement. This can affect both medical outcomes and evidence preservation.

2. Limited Surveillance: Unlike urban areas, rural roads often lack traffic cameras and business surveillance systems that can provide critical evidence.

3. Weather Conditions: The Texas Panhandle experiences extreme weather that can affect road conditions and truck handling. Winter storms, high winds, and sudden temperature changes create unique hazards.

4. Oversized Loads: The agricultural and oilfield industries in the region create significant oversized load traffic, which requires special permits and handling.

5. Fatigue Risks: Long distances between services areas mean drivers may push their hours of service limits to reach the next truck stop or rest area.

6. Limited Truck Parking: The scarcity of safe truck parking areas can lead to fatigued drivers continuing to operate when they should rest.
