Why Experience Matters After a City of Campbell Trucking Accident
Trucking cases are not the same as standard auto insurance claims. When you’re hit by a commercial vehicle in the City of Campbell, you’re going up against sophisticated defendants with multi-million dollar insurance policies and internal legal departments. This is why our managing partner Ralph Manginello’s 25+ years of experience is your greatest asset. Ralph is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas and has successfully litigated against Fortune 500 giants like Walmart, Amazon, FedEx, and BP.
Our firm offers a unique advantage that few others in Hunt County can claim. Our team includes associate attorney Lupe Peña, who is a former insurance defense lawyer. Lupe spent years working for the big insurance companies, learning exactly how they evaluate, minimize, and deny trucking accident claims. He knows their playbook because he used to write it. Today, he uses that insider knowledge to deconstruct their defenses and maximize compensation for our clients in the City of Campbell.
As client Chad Harris said, “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” We treat every City of Campbell case with the personal attention it deserves, backed by the resources of a firm that has secured multi-million dollar results, including $5 million for a traumatic brain injury and $3.8 million for an amputation case.
Urgent Warning: The 48-Hour Evidence Window
In the City of Campbell, trucking companies begin building their defense before the ambulance even leaves the scene of the crash. They have emergency investigators who download engine data, photograph the road, and interview witnesses to find ways to blame you. If you don’t act within the first 48 hours, you risk losing the very evidence needed to win your case.
We send formal “spoliation letters” immediately to the trucking company and their insurer. This legal notice demands that they preserve everything—from the driver’s blood test results to the truck’s electronic logs. Without this letter, “black box” data can be overwritten in 30 days, and driver logs can legally be destroyed after six months under FMCSA Part 395.8. We move fast to ensure the City of Campbell’s truth is preserved.
Call us today at (888) 288-9911. We’re available 24/7 because we know that legal emergencies in the City of Campbell don’t wait for business hours.
Common Truck Accident Types in the City of Campbell
Whether you were hit on a high-speed interstate or a local City of Campbell road, the mechanics of the crash determine who is liable and the severity of the injuries.
Rear-End Collisions on I-30
A fully loaded 18-wheeler at 65 mph needs about 525 feet to stop—the length of nearly two football fields. When traffic slows unexpectedly near the City of Campbell, a distracted or fatigued driver can slam into the back of your car with the force of a small bomb. We often find that these drivers violated 49 CFR § 392.11 by following too closely or 49 CFR § 395 by driving beyond their legal hours. These impacts frequently cause herniated discs and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) for City of Campbell residents.
Jackknife Accidents
A jackknife occurs when the trailer swings perpendicular to the cab, sweeping across all lanes of traffic on highways like US-67. This is often caused by improper braking or poorly maintained equipment, a violation of 49 CFR Part 396. In the City of Campbell, where rain can make roads slick, a jackknifed truck is almost impossible for a passenger car to avoid. The result is often a multi-vehicle pileup with catastrophic injuries.
Underride Collisions
Perhaps the most terrifying accident type in the City of Campbell is the underride. This happens when a car slides under the trailer of a truck that changed lanes without seeing the smaller vehicle (a “No-Zone” accident) or stopped suddenly. Because the trailer sits higher than a car’s hood, the impact often shears off the top of the vehicle. If the truck lacked proper rear impact guards (49 CFR § 393.86), the trucking company is directly liable for the resulting decapitation or fatal head trauma.
Wide Turn “Squeeze” Accidents
Trucks frequently travel through the City of Campbell to reach distribution hubs. When an 18-wheeler makes a wide right turn, a car caught in the gap can be crushed between the truck and the curb. This “squeeze play” highlights the driver’s failure to check mirrors, violating 49 CFR § 393.80. These accidents often result in traumatic amputations and crush injuries.
Tire Blowouts and Brake Failures
Maintenance is not optional for trucks in the City of Campbell. Under 49 CFR § 396.3, every motor carrier must systematically inspect and maintain their fleet. When a trucking company defers maintenance to save money, it leads to steer-tire blowouts or total brake failure on I-30. If a “road gator” (tire debris) or a brake-less truck hit you, we subpoena the repair logs to prove the company knew the vehicle was a rolling hazard.
Commercial Vehicle Accidents: More Than 18-Wheelers
While 18-wheelers are the most visible danger in the City of Campbell, many other commercial vehicles cause devastating accidents. We handle cases involving:
- Amazon and Walmart Delivery Vans: I-30 is a major corridor for these corporate fleets. Amazon uses a complex subcontractor model to dodge liability, but we know how to pierce those shields to find the deep pockets.
- Dump Trucks and Concrete Mixers: Construction growth in and around the City of Campbell means more 60,000-pound dump trucks on the road. These vehicles are often overloaded and top-heavy, leading to rollover accidents.
- Garbage Trucks: Operating early in the morning in City of Campbell neighborhoods, these trucks have massive blind spots. They are a frequent cause of pedestrian and cyclist accidents.
- Rental Trucks (U-Haul/Penske): Often driven by untrained civilians who don’t understand stopping distances, these vehicles cause massive damage on City of Campbell’s local streets.
- School and Transit Buses: When a bus carrying the City of Campbell’s most precious cargo is involved in a wreck, the legal timelines are even shorter because you must often file a notice of claim against a government entity.
Corporate Giants: Holding Walmart, Amazon, and FedEx Accountable
When a truck with a major logo hits you in the City of Campbell, they hope you’ll deal with their internal adjusters. Since Ralph Manginello and our team have litigated against the largest corporations on earth, including Walmart and Amazon, we know they are “self-insured.” This means they pay settlements out of their own bank accounts up to a multi-million-dollar threshold.
Amazon will tell you the driver was an “independent contractor.” We challenge this defense using federal and state “control tests.” We prove that Amazon set the driver’s route, prescribed their uniform, and monitored their speed via AI cameras. If the corporate parent controls the driver, they are responsible for the crash in the City of Campbell.
Our associate attorney, Lupe Peña, worked for a national firm defending these very companies. He knows their strategy is to delay, deny, and defend. We don’t let them. We use their internal safety standards, which often exceed federal law (see the Smith System or UPS’s “340 Methods”), to prove they were negligent even by their own rules.

16 Potential Liable Parties: Who Pays for Your Injuries?
Most firms only sue the truck driver. We go deeper. A trucking accident in the City of Campbell often involves a web of responsible parties. By identifying every defendant, we ensure there is enough insurance coverage to satisfy your claim.
- The Truck Driver: For speeding, fatigue, or impairment.
- The Trucking Company (Carrier): For negligent hiring or training.
- The Cargo Owner: If the freight was inherently dangerous or improperly disclosed.
- The Loading Company: For an unbalanced load that caused a rollover.
- Truck/Trailer Manufacturers: For design defects in brakes or steering.
- Parts Manufacturers: For defective tires or components.
- Maintenance Companies: For failing to repair known mechanical issues.
- Freight Brokers: For hiring a carrier with a “conditional” or “unsatisfactory” safety rating.
- The Truck Owner: If the vehicle was leased to a carrier without verification.
- Government Entities: For dangerous road design or poorly marked construction zones in the City of Campbell.
- Corporate Parent Companies: Holding Amazon or Walmart liable for their subcontractors.
- Oilfield Operators: If the truck was hauling water or sand for a local energy lease.
- Staffing Agencies: For providing unqualified drivers to fleets.
- Rental Companies: Like U-Haul, if they rented a truck with defective brakes.
- Transit Agencies: For negligent bus operations.
- The Federal Government: For accidents involving USPS mail trucks (FTCA claims).
As client Donald Wilcox said, “One company said they would not accept my case. Then I got a call from Manginello… I got a call to come pick up this handsome check.” We take the tough cases other firms reject because we know how to find the liable parties and the insurance money.
Proving Negligence with FMCSA Regulations
Federal trucking laws exist to keep City of Campbell drivers safe. When these rules are broken, it is “negligence per se.” We cite these regulations in nearly every demand letter we send.
- 49 CFR Part 391 (Driver Qualification): Did the driver have a valid CDL? Did they pass their medical exam? Did the company run a background check? If not, the company is liable for negligent hiring.
- 49 CFR Part 392 (Driving Rules): This prohibits driving while ill or fatigued. If the driver was awake for 20 hours straight, both the driver and company are at fault under § 392.3.
- 49 CFR Part 393 (Vehicle Safety): This governs everything from tire tread depth to cargo tiedowns. An unsecured 80,000-pound load is a violation of § 393.100.
- 49 CFR Part 395 (Hours of Service): This is the most crucial part. Drivers are limited to 11 hours behind the wheel. We download Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data to catch drivers who falsify their logs to meet unrealistic deadlines in the City of Campbell.
- 49 CFR Part 396 (Maintenance): Trucking companies must keep systematic repair records. If the truck had a history of brake issues that were never fixed, the carrier is liable under § 396.3.
By showing the jury exactly which federal laws were broken, we take the guesswork out of liability. Call us now at 888-ATTY-911 to start our investigation into your City of Campbell accident.
Catastrophic Injuries and Their Life-Long Impact
When 40 tons of steel hits a 2-ton car, the human body cannot withstand the force. We have represented City of Campbell victims suffering from:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
A TBI changes how you think, move, and feel. Even a “minor” concussion can lead to memory loss, light sensitivity, and personality changes. For severe TBI victims in the City of Campbell, lifetime care costs can exceed $9 million. We help ensure your settlement provides for neurologists, cognitive therapists, and 24/7 assistance if needed.
Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis
Damage to the vertebrae in a rollover or underride crash often results in permanent paralysis. Whether it’s paraplegia (loss of use of legs) or quadriplegia (loss of use of all limbs), the costs of home modification, wheelchairs, and specialized nursing are astronomical. We pursue multi-million dollar recoveries for City of Campbell spinal injury victims.
Traumatic Amputations
A limb caught in a truck-turning “squeeze” or crushed in an underride often requires surgical or traumatic amputation. The loss of a limb is physical and psychological. We fight for compensation that covers high-end prosthetics, phantom limb pain management, and occupational therapy.
Wrongful Death
If you lost a spouse, child, or parent in a City of Campbell trucking accident, we offer our deepest condolences. No amount of money brings them back, but a wrongful death claim provides your family with the financial security your loved one would have provided. Texas law allows you to recover for funeral costs, lost future income, and the loss of companionship and guidance.
As client Kiimarii Yup said, “I lost everything… 1 year later I have gained so much in return plus a brand new truck.” While money can’t fix your health, it provides the resources you need to rebuild your life in the City of Campbell.
Maximizing Your Damages: What is Your Case Worth?
In the City of Campbell, we calculate “damages” to make you as whole as possible. There are three categories of compensation we pursue:
- Economic Damages: These are your tangible losses. We look at every medical bill, from the LifeFlight helicopter to the hundreds of physical therapy sessions. We calculate your lost wages—not just the paychecks you’ve missed, but the “loss of earning capacity” if you can never return to your high-paying job.
- Non-Economic Damages: This is your pain and suffering. How much is it worth to never be able to hold your grandchild again? To live with chronic, burning nerve pain every second of the day? To have the anxiety that prevents you from driving in the City of Campbell? These are subjective but powerful losses that we translate into dollar amounts for the jury.
- Punitive Damages: When a trucking company moves beyond simple negligence into “gross negligence”—like knowingly letting an intoxicated driver behind the wheel or destroying evidence—we ask for punitive damages. These are meant to punish the company and prevent them from hurting anyone else in the City of Campbell again.
Trucking companies carry much higher insurance than regular drivers. Most general freight trucks carry a $750,000 minimum, while those hauling oil or hazardous materials carry a $5,000,000 minimum. Our job is to access every dollar of those policies for you.
City of Campbell Truck Accident FAQ
How long do I have to file a lawsuit in the City of Campbell?
Under Texas law, the statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of the accident. However, in trucking cases, you should act within 48 hours to preserve electronic evidence. If you wait 2 years, the truck’s black box data will be long gone.
What if the truck driver was from another state?
Interstate trucking is one of the reasons our Managing Partner Ralph Manginello’s federal court admission is so important. We can sue out-of-state trucking companies in federal court, ensuring your City of Campbell rights are protected no matter where the company is headquartered.
Should I talk to the insurance adjuster?
NO. They are not your friend. They are trained to trick you into saying your injuries aren’t that bad. Our former insurance defense attorney, Lupe Peña, knows these tricks. Let us handle all communication for you.
Can I sue for a truck accident if I was partially at fault?
Texas follows the “modified comparative negligence” rule (51% bar). As long as you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages. Your settlement will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault. If the truck driver was speeding on SH-24 and hit you, even if you were making a turn, the truck driver likely shares the vast majority of the blame.
How much does a City of Campbell truck accident lawyer cost?
We work on a contingency basis. This means we take the financial risk. We pay for the investigators, the medical experts, and the accident reconstructionists. You only pay us a percentage of the final settlement or verdict. If we don’t recover money for you, you owe us nothing.
What if my child was hit by a truck in a City of Campbell school zone?
Drivers have a heightened duty of care in school zones. If a commercial truck, such as a garbage truck or a delivery van, struck a child walking to school, we look for violations of local traffic laws and company-specific safety training failures. These cases often involve substantial non-economic damages for the family.
Do I have a claim if an Amazon van hit me in my own driveway?
Yes. Whether the accident happened on I-30 or your own property in the City of Campbell, commercial vehicles are responsible for safe operation. Backing accidents are incredibly common with delivery vans and are almost always the fault of the driver’s failure to use cameras or mirrors.
