Argyle Truck Accident Attorneys: Fighting for Victims of 18-Wheeler and Commercial Vehicle Crashes

The impact was catastrophic—80,000 pounds of steel against your sedan on I-35W. In an instant, your life changed forever. One moment, you’re driving through Argyle toward a meeting or heading home to your family; the next, you’re trapped in a mangled vehicle, surrounded by shattered glass and the smell of diesel fuel. If you’ve been hurt in a truck accident in Argyle, what you do in the next 48 hours could determine the value of your case and the quality of your future.

At Attorney911, we don’t treat you like just another case number. As our client Chad Harris noted, “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” We understand the trauma you are facing because our founder, Ralph Manginello, has spent over 25 years in the trenches of trucking litigation. Since 1998, we have held massive trucking companies accountable for the devastation they cause on Argyle roads. Our managing partner brings federal court experience in the Southern District of Texas and a documented track record of securing multi-million dollar settlements for families throughout Denton County and beyond.

The trucking company that hit you has already called their lawyers. Their rapid-response team was likely on-site before the ambulance even left the scene. You need a team that moves just as fast. We send spoliation letters within 24 hours to ensure black box data doesn’t “disappear.” When an 80,000-pound truck changes your life, you need more than a lawyer—you need a fighter who knows the insurance company’s playbook. Call us 24/7 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free consultation.

Why Trucking Accidents in Argyle are Geographically Unique

Argyle sits at a critical junction in North Texas. As one of the fastest-growing communities in Denton County, our local roads are a unique mix of high-speed interstate corridors and narrow rural routes that are rapidly being converted into construction zones. This creates a high-risk environment for passenger vehicles sharing the asphalt with commercial fleets.

The I-35W Corridor Danger

I-35W runs right along the western edge of Argyle, serving as a primary artery for NAFTA trade and interstate commerce. Transitioning from Fort Worth up toward Denton, this stretch of highway sees thousands of 18-wheelers every hour. Many of these drivers are at the very end of their 11-hour driving limit established by 49 CFR § 395.3. Fatigue is a constant threat as drivers push to reach distribution hubs in North Fort Worth or Alliance. When a fatigued driver drifts across lanes or fails to react to a sudden traffic slowdown near the FM 407 exit, the result is often a high-speed rear-end collision.

Construction and Dump Truck Risks

With Argyle’s massive residential boom, dump trucks and concrete mixers are on every corner. These vehicles often operate under narrow delivery windows, and drivers are frequently pressured to make as many runs as possible. We see many accidents on US-377 and FM 407 involving these heavy vehicles. A fully loaded dump truck can weigh 65,000 pounds, and unlike long-haul trucks, these local operators may not follow the same rigorous maintenance protocols mandated by 49 CFR Part 396.

Proximity to Haslet and Alliance Hubs

Argyle is just north of the massive Amazon fulfillment centers and Walmart distribution hubs in Haslet and the Alliance area. This results in heavy “last-mile” delivery traffic. Amazon DSP vans and FedEx Ground trucks are everywhere in Argyle neighborhoods. These drivers are often under extreme algorithmic pressure to meet delivery quotas, leading to distracted driving and unsafe maneuvers in residential areas.

If you were hit on a local road or the interstate, our Argyle truck accident attorneys understand the specific dynamics of this region. We aren’t just Texas lawyers—we are Argyle advocates who know these roads and the companies that profit from them.

Proving Negligence through FMCSA Regulations (49 CFR)

In Argyle truck accident cases, establishing fault isn’t just about what the eyes saw—it’s about what the data proves. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has established strict rules that every commercial carrier must follow. When they break these rules, it is evidence of negligence.

49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS)

Fatigue is the silent killer in Argyle trucking accidents. Federal law is clear: a driver cannot exceed 11 hours of driving time after 10 consecutive hours off-duty. Furthermore, they cannot drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty. If an 18-wheeler slammed into you on I-35W, we subpoena the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data immediately. We look for “falsified logs” or instances where a trucking company pressured a driver to keep going when they were legally required to rest.

49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualifications

Trucking companies in Argyle and nationwide have a duty to ensure their drivers are fit for the road. Under Part 391, carriers must maintain a Driver Qualification File for every operator. This includes background checks, driving records, and medical examiner certificates. If we find that a company hired a driver with a history of DWIs or serious traffic violations, we pursue a claim for negligent hiring. Our team has seen cases where carriers ignored red flags to fill an empty seat, putting an unqualified person behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound weapon.

49 CFR Part 396: Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance

A truck with bad brakes or worn-out tires is a ticking time bomb on US-377. 49 CFR § 396.3 requires every motor carrier to systematically inspect, repair, and maintain all vehicles under its control. We demand maintenance logs and pre-trip inspection reports. If a brake failure caused your accident, the trucking company might be liable for skipping scheduled maintenance to save a few dollars.

49 CFR Part 393: Parts and Accessories for Safe Operation

This covers everything from lighting to cargo securement. On the rural roads of Argyle, an improperly secured load can shift, causing a rollover accident. We verify that the truck that hit you met the performance criteria for tiedowns and blocking as required by § 393.102.

If you suspect the trucking company cut corners on safety, you need an attorney who can speak the language of federal regulations. We don’t just ask what happened; we prove WHY it happened using the law. Call (888) 288-9911 today for a free evaluation.

Using the Insurance Defense Advantage for Your Case

One of the most significant advantages we offer Argyle victims is the perspective of our associate attorney, Lupe Peña. Before joining Attorney911, Lupe worked for several years at a national insurance defense firm. He knows exactly how large trucking insurance companies evaluate, minimize, and deny claims.

We Know Their Playbook

Insurance companies have a specific formula for reducing payouts. They use proprietary software to undervalue your pain and suffering. They train adjusters to ask leading questions that trick you into admitting fault. Because we have a former defense attorney on our team, we recognize these tactics the second they are used. We know when an insurance company is making a “lowball” offer and when they’re truly afraid of going to trial.

Exposing the “Delay and Deny” Tactic

Insurance companies hope that if they delay your claim long enough, you’ll become desperate and accept a fraction of what you deserve. They hope the bills from Argyle medical providers will pile up so high that you’ll sign away your rights just to get some cash. We don’t let that happen. We move aggressively to force their hand, letting them know that Ralph Manginello and his team are prepared to take the case to a Argyle jury if they don’t play fair.

Piercing the Independent Contractor Shield

Many companies, especially those in the gig economy like Amazon or FedEx Ground, will claim the driver who hit you was an “independent contractor” and therefore they are not responsible. This is a liability shield designed to protect corporate billions. Lupe Peña has seen these structures from the inside. We know the legal tests—the ABC test and the right-to-control test—necessary to prove that the corporate parent still directed the driver’s actions and is therefore legally responsible.

Don’t let an insurance adjuster take advantage of your trauma. Put a former insider in your corner. If you’ve been hurt in Argyle, call 888-ATTY-911 and speak with a team that knows the system from both sides. Hablamos Español. Llame al 1-888-ATTY-911.

Catastrophic Truck Accident Types in Argyle

The mechanics of an 18-wheeler crash are vastly different from a passenger vehicle collision. Understanding the physics of these accidents is essential for proving how the trucking company was negligent.

Rear-End Collisions on I-35W

A fully loaded semi-truck traveling at 65 mph requires over 500 feet to stop—length of nearly two football fields. When traffic slows unexpectedly in Argyle, a distracted or fatigued driver simply cannot stop in time. These high-speed impacts cause the smaller vehicle to accordion or trigger common “underride” scenarios. Use our guide to rear-end accidents to learn about whiplash and herniated disc settlements at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzSg1oJmbPo.

Jackknife Accidents

A jackknife occurs when the drive wheels of the tractor lock up, causing the trailer to swing out perpendicular to the cab. In Argyle, this is common during rainstorms on I-35W or US-377. A jackknifing truck can sweep across three lanes of traffic, hitting every vehicle in its path. This is often caused by improper braking techniques or 49 CFR § 393.48 violations involving the brake system.

Rollover Crashes

Trucks have a high center of gravity. Speeding through Argyle’s rural curves or taking an exit ramp too fast can easily lead to a rollover. Improperly loaded cargo—especially “sloshing” liquid in tankers—is a major contributor. When a truck rolls over, it often crushes the roof of any vehicle it falls upon, leading to fatal injuries.

Underride Collisions: The Most Lethal Wrecks

An underride collision is a nightmare scenario where a passenger car slides beneath the back or side of a truck trailer. Even with mandatory ICC bumpers (Mansfield bars), many underride guards fail at highway speeds. These crashes often shear off the top of the passenger vehicle, leading to decapitation or catastrophic TBI. Learn more in our video: Can I Sue for Being Hit by a Semi Truck? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0MT3CKbUb4.

Wide Turn “Squeeze” Play accidents

Large trucks need a massive turning radius. We often see accidents in downtown Argyle or near shopping centers where a truck swings wide to the left to make a right turn. If the truck driver doesn’t check their mirrors or fail to use turn signals, they can crush a smaller vehicle that has moved into the “gap” beside them.

Commercial Vehicle Wrecks Beyond the 18-Wheeler

While big rigs get the headlines, Argyle roads are filled with other massive commercial vehicles that are just as dangerous.

Dump Truck and Construction Vehicle Wrecks

Because of the growth in Argyle, dump trucks are everywhere. These trucks are often operated by small, local companies with minimal oversight. When they are overloaded with dirt or gravel, their stopping distance increases dramatically. A dump truck rollover on a Argyle road can bury a passenger vehicle in debris.

Amazon and Delivery Van Accidents

The “Amazon effect” has flooded Argyle neighborhoods with blue vans. These drivers use the Mentor app and Netradyne cameras, which record their every move. If an Amazon van hit you, we demand that data immediately. Amazon often tries to hide behind its Delivery Service Partner (DSP) model, but we know how to hold the billion-dollar parent company accountable.

Garbage and Waste Truck Crashes

Garbage trucks operate in tight residential streets in Argyle, often in the dark hours of the morning. With massive blind spots and constant backing-up, they pose a severe threat to pedestrians, cyclists, and children. Liability in these cases can be complex, involving municipal entities or large corporations like Waste Management.

Rental Truck Accidents (U-Haul, Penske)

Unlike professional truckers, any civilian with a credit card can rent a 26-foot U-Haul and drive it through Argyle. These drivers have no training and no CDL. When they misjudge a turn or fail to account for the truck’s weight, innocent Argyle drivers pay the price.

Regardless of what hit you, if it was a company vehicle, the rules of commercial litigation apply. Call us at 1-888-ATTY-911 before the evidence is erased.

16 Liable Parties: Why Our Investigation Goes Deeper

Most firms only sue the truck driver. At Attorney911, we know that to maximize your recovery, we must identify every person and company whose negligence contributed to the crash. More defendants means more insurance policies and higher compensation for you.

1. The Truck Driver: For direct negligence like speeding, fatigue, or distraction.
2. The Trucking Company (Carrier): Liable for their employees and for negligent hiring and maintenance.
3. The Cargo Owner / Shipper: If an improperly described load was more dangerous than disclosed.
4. The Loading Company: If the cargo was not secured according to 49 CFR Part 393.
5. Truck and Trailer Manufacturers: If a defect like a faulty brake system or tire caused the crash.
6. Parts Manufacturers: For defective components that failed on an Argyle road.
7. Maintenance Companies: If a third party was paid to maintain the fleet and failed to do their job.
8. Freight Brokers: For negligent hiring of a carrier with a poor safety record.
9. The Truck Owner: In owner-operator leases where the owner failed to provide a safe vehicle.
10. Government Entities: If a known road defect in Argyle contributed to the wreckage.
11. Corporate Parent / Brand Owner: Holding giants like Amazon liable for their contractor’s negligence.
12. Oilfield Operator: If an oilfield truck was hauling for a specific producer at an Argyle wellsite.
13. Staffing Agency: If the driver was a temporary hire with no background verification.
14. Rental Truck Company: If U-Haul or Penske rented to an obviously unfit driver.
15. Public Transit Agency: For accidents involving Argyle area buses.
16. The Federal Government: For crashes involving USPS mail trucks, requiring specific FTCA procedures.

We cast a wide net to ensure every dollar you are entitled to is recovered. As client Glenda Walker said, “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”

The 48-Hour Urgency: Don’t Let Evidence Disappear

In the world of trucking accidents, hours matter. The trucking industry operates on a rolling data-overwrite cycle. If you wait a week to call an attorney, your case might already be lost.

Black Box and ELD Overwriting

The Engine Control Module (ECM) on a truck records its speed, braking, and steering inputs in the seconds before an impact. However, this data is often overwritten after 30 days of standard driving or when the truck is put back into service. Our Argyle truck accident legal team sends formal preservation letters immediately. We demand the trucking company ground the vehicle until the data is downloaded.

Dashcam and Surveillance Footage

Many Argyle businesses along US-377 have security cameras that catch highway visibility. Most of these systems overwrite their footage in 7 to 10 days. We canvass the area immediately to secure the video that proves the truck driver ran that red light.

Drug and Alcohol Testing

Under 49 CFR Part 382, trucking companies must test drivers for drugs and alcohol within 2 hours (alcohol) or 32 hours (controlled substances) of a fatal or injury-causing accident. If they didn’t test or if they tried to hide the results, that is massive for your case.

“Right now, the trucking company is already building their defense. What are you doing?” Call 1-888-ATTY-911 now so we can protect your evidence.

Catastrophic Injuries and Their Long-Term Impact

A truck accident is a high-energy event. The human body wasn’t designed to survive the impact of 40 tons moving at 70 mph. We understand the physical and emotional toll these injuries take on Argyle families.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

TBIs range from concussions to permanent cognitive impairment. A TBI can change your personality, take away your ability to work, and shatter your family life. Our firm has recovered settlements ranging from $1.5 million to over $9.8 million for brain injury victims. Watch our guide: The Ultimate Guide to Brain Injury Lawsuits at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBYAHi5aiEQ.

Spinal Cord Injury and Paralysis

A severed spinal cord means a lifetime of 24/7 care, expensive medical equipment, and home modifications. We work with life care planners to ensure your settlement covers the $4.7 million to $25.8 million in lifetime costs that quadriplegia or paraplegia can require.

Amputation and Loss of Limb

Whether traumatic or surgical, losing a limb is a devastating physical and psychological blow. We help our Argyle clients secure compensation for high-end prostheses and rehabilitative therapy, with amputation settlements often reaching $1.9 million to $8.6 million.

Psychological Trauma and PTSD

The mental wounds are just as real as the physical ones. Many of our clients are afraid to drive on I-35W for years after a crash. We fight to recover damages for mental anguish and PTSD. Learn more in our video: Can I Get a PTSD Payout After a Car Accident? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9803X_jnR4A.

Wrongful Death

If you lost a loved one in an Argyle truck accident, we offer our deepest condolences. No check will bring them back, but holding the company accountable ensures your family’s financial future. Wrongful death settlements in trucking cases often range from $1.9 million to $9.5 million.

Understanding Insurance Limits and Damage Categories

Trucking companies carry much more insurance than regular drivers, but they fight ten times harder to keep it.

• General Freight Minimum: $750,000
• Oil and Equipment Minimum: $1,000,000
• Hazardous Materials Minimum: $5,000,000

In Texas, we use a Modified Comparative Negligence system with a 51% bar. This means as long as you are 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages in Argyle. However, your payout is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 51% at fault, you recover zero. This is why the insurance company will try everything to blame YOU for the crash.

We pursue three categories of damages:

1. Economic Damages: For your calculable losses—past and future medical bills, lost wages, and loss of earning capacity.
2. Non-Economic Damages: For your pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life. Watch our video: What Is Fair Compensation for Pain and Suffering? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG07vbB4cdU.
3. Punitive Damages: In cases of gross negligence, where the company’s behavior was so egregious it deserves extra punishment.

Argyle Truck Accident FAQ

How long do I have to file a claim in Argyle?
In Argyle, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit under Texas law. However, if the accident involved a government-owned vehicle, you may only have 6 months to file a formal notice of claim. Don’t wait—call us at 1-888-ATTY-911 today.

What if I can’t afford a lawyer?
You don’t need a dime to hire us. Attorney911 works on a contingency fee basis. We pay for all investigation, experts, and filings. You pay us nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, so our interests are perfectly aligned with yours.

Do I have to talk to the truck driver’s insurance?
No. In fact, you should never talk to them without an attorney present. As client Angel Walle said, “They solved in a couple of months what others did nothing about in two years.” We handle all communication so you can focus on healing.

What is my truck accident case worth?
No two cases are the same. Factors include the severity of your injuries, the amount of insurance available, and the clarity of fault. However, trucking cases involve serious injuries and high policies, often resulting in six or seven-figure outcomes.

How long will my case take to settle?
Simple cases with clear liability may settle in 6 to 12 months. Complex cases involving multi-million dollar damages or corporate litigation can take 18 to 36 months. We work to resolve your case as quickly as possible without sacrificing its value.

Deep Dive into Denton County Trucking Safety

Argyle is located in Denton County, one of the fastest growing counties in the entire United States. This rapid expansion brings with it a massive influx of heavy commercial traffic. When we represent clients in Argyle, we don’t just look at the accident scene—we look at the systematic failures of the trucking companies operating in this corridor.

The Problem of “Shadow” Trucking Companies

In our investigation of Argyle accidents, we often find what are known as “chameleon carriers.” These are trucking companies that get shut down by the FMCSA for poor safety ratings, only to reopen a week later under a different name and DOT number. Ralph Manginello and his team are experts at tracing corporate histories to show a jury that the company that hit you has a long-standing history of endangering the public.

Local Trauma Resources

If you are seriously injured in a truck wreck in Argyle, you are likely transported to a major regional hospital such as Medical City Denton, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton, or a Level 1 trauma center in nearby Fort Worth or Dallas. We coordinate with these medical providers to ensure every scan, every therapy session, and every limitation is documented as evidence. We use this documentation to counter the insurance company’s claim that your injuries were “pre-existing.”

The “Eggshell Skull” Doctrine in Texas

The insurance company will often claim that your back was already bad or that you had old injuries. Under Texas law, “you take the plaintiff as you find them.” This is known as the Eggshell Skull Doctrine. If a truck accident in Argyle worsened a condition that was previously under control, the trucking company is 100% responsible for that aggravation. We have the medical experts to prove exactly what changed after your crash.

Independent Service Providers (ISPs) and FedEx

If you were struck by a FedEx truck in Argyle, it was likely part of the FedEx Ground network. FedEx Ground uses Independent Service Providers (ISPs), which are small businesses that own the trucks and hire the drivers. FedEx uses this structure to try and distance themselves from liability. However, we use FedEx’s own Operating Agreements to show that they exercise a degree of control that makes them legally responsible. We look for FedEx’s $5 million contingent policy to ensure you aren’t limited by the small contractor’s lower insurance limits.

The Hidden Costs of an Argyle Truck Accident

Most people think of damages as just a pile of medical bills. That is only the tip of the iceberg. When we build your case, we look for “hidden damages” that general practice lawyers often miss.

• Loss of Household Services: If you can no longer mow the lawn, cook for your family, or perform home maintenance in your Argyle home, the cost of hiring people to do those things is a recoverable loss.
• Loss of Earning Capacity: If a 30-year-old worker can no longer do physical labor, they haven’t just lost their current job—they’ve lost the ability to earn a “manual labor” wage for the next 35 years.
• Lost Employer Benefits: Your base salary isn’t your only income. If you can’t work, you’ve lost health insurance contributions, 401(k) matches, and pension credits.
• Diminished Quality of Life for Caregivers: If your spouse has to quit their job to become your 24/7 caregiver, their lost income and lost quality of life are also part of the damage picture in many cases.

We leave no stone unturned because we know that this settlement has to last you for the rest of your life. As Glenda Walker noted, we fight for “every dime” you deserve.

Strategic Victory: Preparing Every Case for Trial

The reason Attorney911 secures multi-million dollar results isn’t just because we are good negotiators—it’s because we are great trial lawyers. We prepare every Argyle truck accident file as if it is going to a jury.

When an insurance company sees that we have already hired accident reconstruction experts, downloaded the black box data, and retained renowned medical specialists, their settlement offers increase. They know that Ralph Manginello is not a “settlement mill” attorney who will settle your case for pennies on the dollar just to avoid a courtroom.

We have gone head-to-head with some of the biggest corporations on the planet—Walmart, Amazon, BP—and we’ve made them pay. Their fleet of lawyers doesn’t intimidate us. We have the financial resources to out-litigate even the wealthiest defendants to ensure our clients receive maximum justice.

If you’ve been hurt in an Argyle 18-wheeler crash, you’ve been through enough. Let us handle the legal battle while you focus on your family and your health.

Detailed Breakdown: Proving 18-Wheeler Liability in Denton County

When we accept a case in Argyle, our investigation team begins a multi-phase process designed to secure evidence that trucking companies often try to hide.

Phase 1: Physical Evidence Recovery

We immediately deploy an investigator to the Argyle crash site. We document the final rest position of the vehicles, look for “gouges” in the asphalt that show the point of impact, and analyze skid marks. Long skid marks can show the driver was speeding; a LACK of skid marks might prove the driver never even hit the brakes because they were asleep or distracted.

Phase 2: Electronic Data Extraction

The black box is the star witness in nearly every Argyle trucking case. We demand the ECM data which proves:

• Vehicle speed in the 30 seconds before impact.
• Engine RPM.
• Brake application (exactly when and how hard).
• Steering input (was the driver trying to avoid the crash?).
• Fault codes (did the truck have a known engine or brake issue?).

Phase 3: The Driver Qualification File

We subpoena the trucking company’s records for the driver. Under 49 CFR Part 391, we look for:

• A valid Class A CDL and current medical card.
• Evidence of “drug or alcohol” violations in the driver’s past.
• Their Annual Driving Record Review.
• Verification of their previous employment history.

If we find that the carrier hired a driver with three previous accidents or a suspended license, it turns a simple negligence case into a punitive damages case. This can increase the value of your recovery by millions of dollars.

Phase 4: Corporate Culture Analysis

We look at the safety scores of the company on the FMCSA’s Safety Measurement System (SMS). If the carrier has consistently high “un-safe driving” or “fatigue” scores, it shows a systemic problem. Juries in Denton County don’t just punish bad drivers; they punish companies that make Argyle roads a dangerous place for families.

Specialized Coverage for Vulnerable Road Users

A truck accident in Argyle doesn’t always involve another car. We provide aggressive representation for those who were most exposed to the power of a commercial truck.

Pedestrians and Cyclists

If a delivery truck turned right and struck a pedestrian in an Argyle crosswalk, they face the most catastrophic injuries imaginable. Because trucks have massive blind spots (the No-Zone), drivers have a heightened duty to look for pedestrians and cyclists before turning. We use the truck’s own video monitoring systems to show exactly what the driver should have seen.

Motorcyclists

Motorcyclists are frequently blamed by insurance companies after an accident. They will claim “the biker was weaving” or “the bike was speeding.” We use physics and accident reconstruction to prove that the motorcyclist was visible and that the truck driver simply changed lanes into them or failed to yield right-of-way on a Argyle road.

Rideshare Passengers

If you were an Uber or Lyft passenger in Argyle and your vehicle was hit by a truck, you are in a unique legal position. You have a claim against the truck driver AND the rideshare driver’s high-limit contingent policy. These cases involve complex insurance “stacking” that requires an experienced attorney to navigate.

Conclusion: Your Fight Starts with One Call

Argyle trucking companies have millions of dollars to protect. They have armies of adjusters whose only goal is to pay you $0. They hope you’ll wait. They hope you’ll sign their “quick” settlement. They hope you don’t call a lawyer.

Don’t give them what they want. Ralph Manginello and the Attorney911 team have the experience, the awards, and the results to help you rebuild your life. We have recovered over $50 million for Texas families because we treat every client like family. As Chad Harris said, “You are NOT a pest to them… You are FAMILY to them.”

If you’ve been hurt in an Argyle 18-wheeler accident—whether on I-35W, US-377, or in a local neighborhood—your fight for justice begins today.

Additional Truck Accident Considerations in Argyle

Garbage Trucks and Municipal Liability

In Argyle, many garbage trucks are operated by municipal or county entities. These cases fall under the Texas Tort Claims Act. This law provides “sovereign immunity” to government bodies, which sounds like you can’t sue them. However, there is an exception for the operation of motor-driven vehicles. But there is a catch: you have a tiny fraction of the usual timeframe to file a formal notice of claim. If you don’t notify the city or county in writing within their specific deadline (sometimes as short as 60 days), you lose your right to sue forever. Call us immediately if a government truck hit you.

Tow Trucks and the “Move Over” Law

Tow trucks are on Argyle roads constantly, helping stranded motorists on I-35W. If a tow truck driver caused your accident, the liability may involve the towing company, the insurance company that dispatched them (like AAA), and even the roadside assistance program. Conversely, if you are a tow operator struck by a careless driver, we fight to enforce the state’s “Move Over” laws to ensure you are fully compensated for your bravery on the highway shoulder.

Concrete Mixers and “Slosh” Damage

Concrete mixers are unique because they carry a liquid load that is constantly in motion. When a mixer takes a turn in Argyle, the liquid concrete “sloshes” to the side, shifting the center of gravity and making the truck highly prone to rolling over. If a concrete mixer rolled onto your vehicle, the driver’s speed and the loader’s weight distribution are the two primary factors we investigate.

Mail Delivery Trucks (USPS)

Accidents with USPS vehicles in Argyle require a Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) filing. You cannot sue the USPS in Denton County court. You must file a Form SF-95 with the federal agency and wait for them to process it. If they deny your claim or wait 6 months without responding, only THEN can you file a lawsuit in federal court. Ralph Manginello’s federal court admission is critical for these complex administrative cases.

The Final Word from Attorney Ralph Manginello

“My passion after 25 years comes from seeing the resilience of our clients. A truck accident in Argyle is a life-altering event, but it doesn’t have to be a life-ending one financially. We use the law to force these corporations to do what’s right. If they won’t pay fairly, we’ll take them to a jury. We have the results to show we mean it.”

Why Every 18-Wheeler Accident is a “Legal Emergency”

We call ourselves the Legal Emergency Lawyers™ because we know that the first hours after an Argyle truck accident are a crisis. While you were still in the ER at Medical City Denton, the trucking company’s legal team was already deciding which evidence was “relevant” and which could be discarded.

When you hire Attorney911, we treat your case with that same level of emergency focus.

• Immediate Spoliation: We send preservation demands via overnight mail and email to the carrier’s safety director within 24 hours.
• Direct Access: You get direct contact with your legal team. We don’t hide behind layers of receptionists.

• Strategic Intensity: We move as fast as the law allows to get you the compensation you need to pay your mortgage and provide for your kids.

Don’t let another day go by without protection. One call to 888-ATTY-911 puts a 25-year veteran in your corner.

FAQ Expansion: More Questions Answered for Argyle Residents

Q: Can I sue the freight broker for my Argyle accident?
A: Yes, in many cases. If a broker hired a trucking company with a history of safety violations or one that didn’t have current insurance, the broker can be held liable for negligent hiring. We investigate the entire shipping chain to find every source of recovery.

Q: What if the truck driver was on drugs or alcohol?
A: This significantly increases the value of your case. Under 49 CFR Part 382, trucking companies have strict testing rules. If a driver was impaired, we pursue punitive damages to punish the company for its egregious disregard for safety in Argyle.

Q: The trucking company is headquartered out of state. Can I still sue them in Argyle/Denton County?
A: Generally, yes. Under Texas law, you can file your lawsuit in the county where the accident happened. We regularly handle cases against carriers based in other states and countries. Our federal court experience is particularly useful for these out-of-state corporate defendants.

Q: Should I fix my car before calling a lawyer?
A: No. Your vehicle is one of the most important pieces of evidence. We need to document the crush depth and impact angles before it is repaired. If possible, do not move the vehicle from the storage yard until we have inspected it.

Q: What if the trucker points to “bad weather” as an excuse?
A: Weather is NEVER an excuse for a truck accident. 49 CFR § 392.14 requires truck drivers to use extreme caution in hazardous conditions—including rain, fog, or ice—and to STOP driving if it becomes too dangerous. If they kept driving in a Argyle storm and hit you, they were negligent.

Q: What is a “Black Box” download?
A: It is a technical process where a specialist plugs a computer into the truck’s engine module to download the crash data. Trucking companies often try to prevent this. We secure a court order if necessary to force them to let our experts download the data before it’s gone.

Deep Dive into Denton County Judicial Landscape

When your case goes to court, it will likely be heard in a Denton County District Court in Denton. The local juries here are known for being fair but also for being protective of their community. When an out-of-state trucking company endangers our neighbors on Argyle roads, we make sure the jury understands that this wasn’t just an accident—it was a failure to follow the rules that keep Argyle safe.

We are familiar with the judges and the procedural rules in Denton County. We know how to present a case that resonates with your neighbors. This local familiarity combined with our 25+ years of litigation experience gives you a distinct advantage.

Case Study Focus: The Impact of a TBI in Argyle

Imagine a local resident driving through Argyle on their way to pick up their kids from school. An 18-wheeler, whose driver has been on the road for 16 hours straight, fails to see a red light at an Argyle intersection and broadsides the family car.

The resident suffers a traumatic brain injury. At first, they seem “shaken up” but fine. But three weeks later, they are having trouble finding words. They are irritable with their children. They have a constant, pounding headache that won’t go away. This is the reality of a TBI.

Without an attorney, that resident might settle for $25,000. With Attorney911, we would uncover the 16-hour driving violation (Part 395). We would subpoena the dispatch records showing the company pressured the driver. We would build a case showing the lifetime impact of that brain injury. The true value of that case isn’t $25,000—it’s several million dollars.

That’s the Attorney911 difference. We see what others miss.

Call us today at 888-ATTY-911.
