Navarro County Truck Accident Lawyer

The impact was catastrophic. You were driving on I-45 through Navarro County, perhaps heading toward Corsicana or coming up from the Richland-Chambers Reservoir, when 80,000 pounds of steel slammed into your vehicle. In a split second, your life changed forever. While you are struggling with medical bills and physical pain, the trucking company has already activated its defense. Before your vehicle was even towed from the shoulder of the highway, their insurance adjusters and investigators were likely on-site, working to protect their billion-dollar bottom line.

In Navarro County, you aren’t just fighting a driver; you are fighting an entire corporate machine. At Attorney911, we know this machine from the inside. Our team includes a former insurance defense attorney, Lupe Peña, who used to defend these very companies. He knows their playbook, their tactics, and how they attempt to minimize your suffering. Our founder, Ralph Manginello, brings over 25 years of experience to the table, having fought and won multi-million dollar settlements for families devastated by 18-wheeler crashes. We don’t just “handle” cases; we prepare every single one for trial because we know that’s the only language insurance companies respect.

If you have been hurt on Navarro County roads, you need a fighter who treats you like family. As our client Chad Harris said, “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” We are ready to stand with you against the largest trucking fleets in America.

Why 18-Wheeler Accidents in Navarro County Are Different

Navarro County sits in a unique position in the Texas transportation landscape. I-45 serves as the main artery connecting Dallas and Houston, making it one of the most heavily traveled freight corridors in the United States. Every day, thousands of commercial vehicles—from Walmart 18-wheelers dispatched from the Corsicana Distribution Center to Amazon Vans and oilfield equipment haulers—speed through our communities.

The physics of these collisions are brutal. A fully loaded semi-truck is 20 to 25 times heavier than a standard passenger sedan. When that mass meets your car at highway speeds, the kinetic energy involved is overwhelming. This is why truck accidents rarely result in “fender benders.” They result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and wrongful death.

Under Texas law, Navarro County victims have a two-year statute of limitations to file a claim. However, in the world of trucking litigation, two years might as well be two days. Electronic evidence, such as black box data and ELD logs, can be overwritten in as little as 30 days. If you wait, you lose. We move immediately, sending formal spoliation letters within 24 to 48 hours to freeze evidence in place. We’ve gone toe-to-toe with the world’s largest corporations, including BP, and we are ready to do the same for you in Navarro County.

Understanding the Liable Parties in Your Navarro County Crash

One of the biggest mistakes a general practice lawyer makes is only suing the truck driver. In Navarro County, we look deeper. More defendants mean more insurance pools, which translates to the maximum possible recovery for your injuries. We have recovered multi-million dollar settlements, including a $2.5 million truck crash recovery, by identifying every single party that contributed to the disaster.

1. The Trucking Company (The Carrier)

The company that hired the driver is often the primary target. Under the doctrine of respondeat superior, they are responsible for the actions of their employees. We also look for evidence of negligent hiring, training, and supervision. Many companies in the Navarro County area push their drivers to meet impossible delivery windows, forcing them to violate federal safety rules.

2. Corporate Parent Companies and Brand Owners

Was the truck that hit you branded with a logo like Walmart, Amazon, or Coca-Cola? These corporate giants often try to hide behind independent contractor structures to avoid liability. We know how to pierce those shields. Specifically with Amazon DSP (Delivery Service Partner) accidents, we argue that because Amazon controls the routes, the timing, and even monitors the drivers with four in-cab cameras, they are the true employer.

3. Cargo Shippers and Loading Companies

If a truck was overloaded—a common issue for gravel trucks and agricultural haulers in rural Navarro County—the loading company may be liable. Improperly secured cargo causes shifts that lead to rollovers and jackknifes. Under 49 CFR Part 393, there are strict federal requirements for cargo securement that we verify in every investigation.

4. Maintenance and Parts Manufacturers

Trucking companies often cut corners on maintenance to save money. If a brake failure or tire blowout caused your accident, the maintenance provider or the manufacturer of a defective part may be held accountable. In one instance, our firm helped a client secure $3.8 million after a car accident led to severe medical complications and an amputation. We understand the high stakes of mechanical failure.

5. Oilfield Operators

With oil and gas activity surrounding the North Central Texas region, frac sand haulers and water trucks are a constant presence. If an oilfield vehicle hit you, the operator of the wellsite—companies like ExxonMobil or Chevron—may be liable for the unsafe traffic patterns or production pressures they created.

Major Accident Types on Navarro County Highways

The design of roads like US 287 and SH 31, combined with the high-speed nature of I-45, creates specific accident risks for Navarro County drivers.

High-Speed Rear-End Collisions

On I-45, stop-and-go traffic near Corsicana often catches fatigued truckers off guard. A loaded semi at 65 mph needs nearly two football fields to stop. When they fail to brake, they override the car in front of them. These impacts often lead to “whiplash” that insurance companies call “minor,” but we know can hide permanent disc herniations requiring surgery. Learn more in our video: “What Is the Minimum Payout for Whiplash?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RvPRCTcBQE.

Underride and Jackknife Accidents

Jackknifing occurs when a trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, Often caused by improper braking on wet roads or unbalanced shifts in cargo weight. If a car is traveling alongside a truck during a jackknife or a sudden lane change, an underride collision can occur, where the smaller vehicle slides under the trailer. These are almost always fatal or result in catastrophic decapitation-level injuries.

Wide Turn and Blind Spot “Squeeze”

In the more congested areas of Corsicana, large trucks making wide right turns often trap smaller vehicles in their blind spots. Drivers are required under 49 CFR Part 392 to check their “No-Zones” before maneuvering. When they don’t, they crush the cars beside them. We hold them to the highest federal standards.

Federal Regulations: The Key to Proving Negligence

Trucking companies are governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These aren’t just suggestions; they are the law. When a driver or company in Navarro County breaks these rules, it is per se evidence of negligence.

49 CFR Part 395 (Hours of Service): This limits how long a driver can be behind the wheel. We subpoena Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data to see if the driver was illegally fatigued. Driver fatigue is a factor in over 30% of fatal truck crashes.
49 CFR Part 391 (Driver Qualification): Companies must keep a file on Every physical, medical, and background check for their drivers. If they hired a driver with a history of DUIs or drug use, they are liable for negligent hiring.
49 CFR Part 396 (Inspection and Maintenance): Trucks must be inspected daily. If a truck with “soft” brakes or “bald” tires was allowed onto Navarro County roads, the company violated federal law.

The 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Window

The moment an accident occurs in Navarro County, the clock is ticking on your evidence.

Black Box Data: The Engine Control Module (ECM) records speed, braking, and steering inputs. This data is often overwritten in 30 days.
Dashcam Footage: Many corporate fleets like Amazon use Netradyne cameras. This footage is often deleted unless a legal hold is placed within days.
The Driver’s Cell Phone: We act quickly to subpoena phone records to prove the driver was texting or distracted at the time of the impact.

We offer 24/7 availability because we know trucking emergencies don’t happen during business hours. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately. Every hour you wait gives the insurance company more time to hide the truth.

Compassionate Representation for Catastrophic Injuries

We understand the trauma you are facing. Whether it is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) that has left you unable to concentrate, or a spinal cord injury requiring a lifetime of care, we fight for every dime. Our firm has achieved settlements ranging from $1.5M to $9.8M for TBI victims and $4.7M to $25.8M for spinal injuries.

We also represent families in wrongful death cases. Losing a loved one on a Navarro County highway is a pain that never truly goes away. While no check can bring them back, it can provide the financial security your family needs. As client Glenda Walker said, “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”

Navarro County Truck Accident FAQ

How much does it cost to hire an 18-wheeler accident lawyer?
You pay us nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. We advance all costs for experts, investigators, and court filings. If we don’t recover money for you, you owe us nothing.

What if the insurance company offers me a settlement right away?
Don’t take it. These initial “lowball” offers are designed to make you sign away your rights before you know the full extent of your injuries. One client, Donald Wilcox, told us: “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.” Don’t let them trick you.

Can I still recover money if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Navarro County follows Texas’s modified comparative negligence law. As long as you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, though your award will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.

How long will my case take?
Simple cases can resolve in a few months, but serious 18-wheeler accidents typically take 12 to 24 months to settle or go to trial properly. We move as fast as the law allows without sacrificing the value of your case. As client Angel Walle said, “They solved in a couple of months what others did nothing about in two years.”

Do you handle cases involving Amazon or Walmart trucks?
Yes. We have a proven track record against major corporate defendants. We know how to cut through their contractor shields and access their multi-million dollar insurance policies.

Catastrophic Collisions on Navarro County High-Speed Arteries

The high-velocity nature of the corridors in Navarro County creates a specific type of danger that urban driving doesn’t often see. When a truck is traveling at 70 mph on I-45, its stopping distance is massive. If a driver is fatigued or distracted near the Navarro County and Ellis County line, they may not even realize traffic has slowed until it’s too late. These “rear-end” collisions are often “overrides,” where the truck’s bumper is higher than the car’s trunk, causing the truck to drive over the passenger cabin.

When you’re dealing with this level of energy, the injuries are life-altering. You might be experiencing symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) right now—headaches, dizziness, or mood changes. Many victims try to “tough it out,” but brain injuries can worsen without treatment. We’ve recovered multi-million dollar settlements for brain injury victims because we understand the lifetime cost of cognitive rehabilitation.

Pursuing Every Dollar You Deserve

We don’t just calculate your current medical bills. We look at the “hidden” damages that insurance adjusters try to ignore:

Loss of Earning Capacity: If you can no longer work your regular job in Corsicana or the surrounding area, you are entitled to the wages you would have earned over the rest of your life.
Household Services: If you can no longer care for your children or maintain your home, the cost of paying someone else to do those tasks is a recoverable damage.
Pain and Suffering: The physical and emotional trauma you endure Every day has a value. Our former insurance defense attorney, Lupe Peña, knows exactly how the other side tries to put a price on your pain—and how to defeat their formulas.

Learn more about compensation in our video: “What Is Fair Compensation for Pain and Suffering?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG07vbB4cdU.

Commercial Vehicles Beyond the 18-Wheeler

While big rigs dominate the headlines, Navarro County roads are filled with other dangerous commercial vehicles:

Dump Trucks: Often operated by small construction contractors with poor maintenance records. A loaded dump truck with “soft” brakes is a deadly weapon.
Garbage Trucks: Top-heavy and plagued by massive blind spots, these vehicles often cause accidents in residential areas of Corsicana and Kerens.
Rental/Moving Trucks (U-Haul/Penske): These are often driven by people with zero commercial training. If a rental company gave a massive truck to an unqualified driver, they may be liable for negligent entrustment.
Oilfield Crew Vans: Often driven by exhausted workers at 4 AM on rural roads. One split-second mistake can injure a dozen people at once.

No matter what type of truck hit you, the rules of negligence remain the same. If they were careless and you got hurt, they must pay.

Deep Dive: The Physics of an 18-Wheeler Jackknife

Imagine you’re driving north on I-45 near Rice, Texas. It’s a typical North Central Texas afternoon—maybe a sudden rain shower has made the pavement slick. A truck ahead of you hits its brakes too hard. Instead of stopping, the trailer skids and swings out, sweeping across three lanes of traffic. This is a jackknife.

Why does it happen? Typically, it’s a combination of excessive speed and improper braking. Under FMCSA regulation 49 CFR § 393.48, every truck must have a fully functioning braking system. If the brakes on the cab work but the trailer brakes fail, the trailer’s momentum pushes it forward, folding the vehicle like a knife.

In Navarro County, we see these accidents frequently during weather changes. Our investigation focuses on the truck’s tires (tread depth required by 49 CFR § 393.75) and its brake adjustment. If the company skipped a maintenance check to keep the truck on the road, that’s not an accident—that’s negligence.

The Problem With “Deep Pockets” and Self-Insurance

Many of the trucks you see in Navarro County—Walmart, Amazon, UPS—are “self-insured.” This means they don’t have a standard insurance company. They pay claims out of their own corporate treasury. This makes them fight twice as hard. They have entire departments dedicated to making your claim go away.

This is why you need a firm with “Big Firm” experience but “Boutique Firm” attention. We have litigated against the largest oil companies and logistics providers in the world. We know how to navigate the “Self-Insured Retention” layers to get to the real money that can provide for your long-term medical care.

Wrongful Death: Seeking Justice for Navarro County Families

There is no trauma more profound than losing a family member to a truck accident on I-45 or US 287. Under Texas law, the surviving spouse, children, and parents can bring a wrongful death claim. We have recovered millions for families in these heartbreaking situations ($1.9M to $9.5M range).

We handle the legal burden so you can focus on grieving. We protect you from the insurance companies who will try to contact you during your worst moments. Our goal is to ensure the negligent parties are held fully accountable for the life they took. As client Kiimarii Yup said after a total loss, “1 year later I have gained so much in return.” We want that same comprehensive recovery for your family.

Protecting Vulnerable Road Users

Not every Navarro County truck accident involves two vehicles. We also represent:

Pedestrians: Struck by delivery vans in residential areas.
Cyclists: Hit by trucks making wide right turns (the “right hook”).
Motorcyclists: Wiped out by lane changes where the trucker “didn’t see them.”

When a truck hits a human body directly, the injuries are beyond catastrophic. We hold drivers to the highest standard of care when they are operating near vulnerable people.

What Evidence Are We Looking For?

When we take your Navarro County case, our investigation is relentless. We look for:

ELD Logs: To prove the driver was over their 11-hour driving limit.
Drug/Alcohol Tests: Federal law requires these after any serious injury crash.
Maintenance Records: To see if the truck should have been “out of service.”
Satellite Tracking: To prove the driver was speeding before the impact.

We leave no stone unturned because we know the trucking company won’t.

Ready to Fight for Your Future?

The trucking companies have their team. It’s time to get yours. Whether you were hit by an 18-wheeler, a dump truck, or a corporate delivery van, Attorney911 is here to help.

Navarro County Industry Spotlight: Distribution Centers and Safety Pressure

Navarro County is a prime location for major retailers. The Walmart Distribution Center in Corsicana is a massive hub, and with it comes a never-ending stream of commercial traffic. While these facilities bring jobs to our community, they also bring an immense amount of pressure. Drivers are often incentivized to arrive early and penalized for arriving late.

When a company prioritizes a cross-docking schedule over driver rest, they are violating the very heart of the FMCSA regulations. If a tired driver from a Walmart or Kohl’s hub hit you on I-45, we look into the “loading and unloading” times. Often, drivers wait for 6 hours to be loaded, but then record that time as “off-duty” so they can drive longer. That is illegal. It creates a tired driver who is a danger to every family in Navarro County.

Our associate attorney Lupe Peña knows exactly how these logs are falsified because he used to defend the companies who did it. Now he uses that knowledge to expose them.

Tire Blowouts: Negligence or “Acts of God”?

Trucking companies love to call a tire blowout on a hot Texas day an “unavoidable accident.” We disagree. Most tire blowouts are caused by:

Underinflation: Which creates excessive heat.
Overloading: Which exceeds the tire’s weight rating.
Worn Treads: Re-treaded tires are common but dangerous if not maintained.

Under 100-degree heat in Navarro County, a bad tire is a ticking time bomb. We inspect the tire remnants and the maintenance logs. If that “road gator” caused you to lose control, someone is responsible. Watch our guidance on this: “Truck Tire Blowouts and When You Need a Lawyer” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCTumr1looc.

Financial Peace of Mind for Injury Victims

You might be worried about paying for an attorney while your medical bills are piling up. At Attorney911, we believe justice shouldn’t be a luxury for the wealthy.

Zero Upfront Costs: We pay for everything.
Contingency Fees: Our pay is a percentage of what we win for you.
No Win, No Fee: If we don’t get you a settlement or verdict, you don’t pay us a nickel.

We’ve recovered over $50 million for Texas families because we aren’t afraid to take a case to the finish line. As Dame Haskett said, “Ralph reached out personally… Consistent communication.” You get a high-powered legal team with the personal touch of a family firm.

Advanced Legal Tactics: Proving “Safety Culture” Failures

When we sue a large carrier in Navarro County, we don’t just look at the crash itself. we look at the company’s history. We look for a pattern of placing profit over safety. This is how we pursue punitive damages—money designed to punish the company and prevent them from doing it again.

We subpoena:

Internal Safety Audits: Did the company know their drivers were frequently violating hours of service?
Retention Policies: Why did they keep a driver who had three previous accidents in two years?
Training Curricula: Did they actually train their Amazon DSP drivers, or did they just give them a tablet and a key?

When we show a jury that a company systemically ignored federal safety law, the value of your case can skyrocket. We don’t settle for the lowest “fair” number; we push for the maximum possible recovery.

Why You Can’t Trust the “Helpful” Insurance Adjuster

Within 12 hours of your crash in Navarro County, an adjuster will likely call you. They will sound nice. They will say they “just want to make sure you’re taken care of.” They might even offer you $10,000 or $20,000 to “help with bills” while you wait.

This is a trap. That money comes with a “Release of All Claims” form. If you sign it, and you find out three months from now that you need a $150,000 back surgery, you get ZERO. The trucking company is off the hook forever.

Never sign anything and never give a recorded statement until you’ve talked to us. As Lupe Peña often says, “The adjuster’s job is to close the file for the smallest amount possible. My job is to make sure you have what you need for the rest of your life.”

From Corsicana to the Courtroom

Navarro County is our home. We tahu the local roads—from the tight turns of downtown Corsicana to the high-speed stretches of US 287 heading toward Eureka. We know the local juries and the local judges. This local familiarity, combined with our federal litigation power, gives you an unfair advantage.

We take rejected cases. Other firms might say your case is “too hard” or the “liability is unclear.” One company told Donald Wilcox no—then he called us, and we got him a “handsome check.” We see the value where others see obstacles.

The Physics of Impact: 80,000 Pounds vs. Your Family

We cannot overstate the violence of a high-speed truck accident in Navarro County. When a 4,000-lb sedan is struck by an 80,000-lb truck on the I-45 corridor, the car absorbs nearly all of the energy. In medical terms, this causes “coup-contrecoup” brain injuries, where the brain slams into the front and then the back of the skull.

Even if you were wearing a seatbelt and the airbags deployed, the sheer “G-force” of the impact can cause internal organ tearing. Many Navarro County victims find themselves in the ICU with liver or spleen lacerations they didn’t even know they had at the scene.

This is why we work with medical experts and accident reconstructionists from day one. We bridge the gap between the mechanical failure of a truck and the biological failure of the human body. We explain this to a jury so they understand that a “minor” appearing truck crash isn’t minor for the people in the car.

Oilfield Trucking: The Silent Danger in Rural Navarro County

As the energy sector moves equipment through North Central Texas, the “hot shot” trucks and “frac sand” haulers create a unique hazard. These drivers are often paid per-load, not per hour. This creates a dangerous incentive to speed and skip rest breaks.

We’ve seen Navarro County accidents where oilfield trucks were over their GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), causing them to roll over on rural turns. If an oilfield company like Halliburton or Schlumberger was involved, we pull their IVMS (In-Vehicle Monitoring System) data. These corporate black boxes record everything—even harsh braking events that happened weeks before your accident. This proves the company KNEW they had a dangerous driver and did nothing to stop them.

Detailed Taxonomy of Damages: What Can You Really Recover?

In Navarro County trucking cases, we don’t just ask for “damages.” we build a comprehensive model of your losses.

Economic Damages:

Medical Care: Not just current bills, but the future cost of surgeries, physical therapy, and medication.
Specialized Equipment: Wheelchairs, home modifications (ramps, wider doors), and specialized adaptive vehicles.
Lost Wages: Every paycheck you miss from the day of the crash until you reach “Maximum Medical Improvement.”
Earning Capacity: The reduction in your lifetime ability to make a living.

Non-Economic Damages:

Pain and Suffering: The daily agony of life with a spinal or brain injury.
Mental Anguish: The PTSD, the nightmares, and the fear of driving that often follow a traumatic crash. Learn more: “Can I Get a PTSD Payout After a Car Accident?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9803X_jnR4A.
Loss of Quality of Life: The things you can no longer do—playing with your kids, gardening, or working out.

Punitive Damages:
In cases of “gross negligence”—where a company knowingly put a driver on Navarro County roads who was drunk, drugged, or illegally fatigued—we ask the jury to award punitive damages to punish the company. In Texas, these are separate from your actual losses and can significantly increase the value of your case.

Attorney911: The Firm the Trucking Companies Fear.

The Corporate Defendant Intelligence – Walmart, Amazon, and Beyond

In Navarro County, we are in the backyard of some of the world’s most powerful corporate fleets.

Walmart Fleet: With a major DC in Corsicana, these trucks are everywhere. Walmart is self-insured for the first millions of every claim. They use their own “Smith System” training. If their driver violated their own internal safety rules, we have a clear path to proving negligence.
Amazon Vans: These blue vans are a constant on Navarro County neighborhood streets. Amazon will try to blame the “DSP” (Delivery Service Partner). We go after BOTH. Amazon’s Netradyne cameras record everything—we demand that footage immediately.
Sysco and US Foods: These heavy refrigerated trucks supply our local restaurants. They run early morning shifts where fatigue is a constant risk. If a “reefer” truck hit you on US 287, we look at their dispatch records to see if they were under “delivery pressure.”

Every Case We Handle is Prepared for Trial

Most personal injury lawyers are “settlement mills.” They take the first offer the insurance company makes because they’re afraid of the courtroom. We are the opposite. Ralph Manginello is a fighter who has spent over two decades in the courtroom. We prepare every case as if a jury will decide it—because that is the only way to get the insurance company to offer a fair settlement.

As Ernest Cano said, we will “fight tooth and nail for you.” This is our promise to Navarro County trucking accident victims.

Do You Have Questions? We Have Answers.

Maybe you’re worried that you were partially to blame. Maybe you think your injury isn’t “big enough” for a lawyer. Let us make that determination. Many times, what looks like a small case is actually a significant claim due to the high insurance limits available in trucking accidents ($750k-$5M minimums).

Don’t guess with your future. Get the facts from an expert.

Summary of Recoverable Losses Under Navarro County & Texas Law

When we represent you, we pursue a “Total Recovery” strategy:

1. Immediate Economic Support:

EMS and ER Bills: From the initial response on I-45.
Hospital and ICU stays: Often weeks of high-intensity care.
Surgeries: Orthopedic, Neurological, and Reconstructive.

2. Long-Term Financial Security:

Vocational Rehabilitation: Helping you find a new career if you can’t go back to your old one.
Lifetime Care Plans: Using experts to project every penny of care you’ll need for the rest of your life.
Lost Pension/401(k) Contributions: We recover the retirement you would have saved.

3. Dignity and Quality of Life Damages:

Disfigurement: Compensation for the permanent scars that a crash or fire leaves behind.
Physical Impairment: Compensation for the inability to move, walk, or breathe as you did before.
Loss of Consortium: To support the primary relationship in your life that the crash has strained.

We have secured multi-million dollar results for cases just like yours. As Glenda Walker said, “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.” We aren’t here to settle for “good enough.” We are here for justice.

Why the Former Insurance Defense Angle is Your Secret Weapon

Imagine having a coach who used to play for the other team. That is what Lupe Peña brings to your Navarro County case. He spent years in the rooms where insurance companies decide how much to “lowball” an injury victim. He knows:

Which medical experts they hire to say you’re not hurt.
Which surveillance companies they hire to follow you to the grocery store.
Which software programs they use to artificially lower your claim’s value.

Now, he uses that same information to defeat them. This is an advantage you won’t find at most “TV lawyers'” firms.

Your Navarro County Community deserves Safe Roads

Every time we win a case against a negligent trucking company, we help make Navarro County roads safer for everyone. When a company is forced to pay a multi-million dollar verdict, they fix their maintenance programs, they train their drivers better, and they stop cutting corners. Your case is about YOUR family, but it’s also about OUR community.

Case Study: High-Speed Override on I-45

In a case similar to those we handle on the Navarro County I-45 corridor, a family was traveling southbound when a truck from a major national carrier failed to slow for a construction zone near Corsicana. The truck overrode the family’s sedan, crushing the rear passenger area.

The insurance company initially blamed “unclear signage” in the construction zone. We dispatched our own investigators within 48 hours. We found that the truck’s ECM data showed the driver hadn’t hit the brakes until 0.5 seconds after the impact. This proved the driver was distracted—not confused by signs. Because we acted fast, we secured a multi-million dollar settlement that paid for the children’s college education and the parents’ ongoing medical bills.

This is the Attorney911 difference. We don’t accept their excuses. We find the truth.

Specialized Coverage for Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Truck Type: Dump Trucks and Concrete Mixers
These heavy vehicles are constantly moving through Navarro County construction sites. Because they are often “Class 8” commercial vehicles, they have huge blind spots. If a cement mixer rolled onto your car near SH 31, the slosh effect of the liquid concrete makes the crash forces even more unpredictable. We have the technical expertise to litigate these complex physics cases.

Truck Type: Rental Trucks (U-Haul/Penske)
Did you know that in most cases, a 26-foot U-Haul can be driven by anyone with a standard driver’s license? These untrained drivers often don’t realize that a loaded truck takes twice as long to stop as their SUV. If a rental company rented to a driver with a suspended license or failed to maintain the truck’s brakes, we hold them accountable.

Truck Type: 15-Passenger Oilfield Vans
These are essentially “death traps” if not loaded correctly. They have a high center of gravity and are prone to rollovers. If you were injured in a crew transport accident going to a drilling site, the staffing company and the oil company share responsibility.

No matter the vehicle, if it was for business, they have insurance. And if they have insurance, we are going after it for you.

Why Navarro County Juries are Willing to Act

Navarro County is a community of hard-working people who believe in responsibility. Juries here understand that if a company makes a billion dollars using our roads, they have a duty to do it safely. When we show a jury that a company prioritized a “delivery quota” over a local family’s life, they act.

We are Navarro County lawyers for Navarro County people. As Chad Harris said, “You are FAMILY to them.”

Proving Negligence in an Oilfield Truck Collision

Navarro County provides a lot of support to the North Central Texas oilfield. This means our roads are constantly shared with “produced water” tankers and crude oil haulers. These trucks are significantly heavier and more dangerous than standard freight trucks.

A water truck carries nearly 5,500 gallons of liquid. If that driver makes a sharp turn on a rural FM road in Navarro County, the “free-surface effect” of the moving water can flip the truck instantly. Under 49 CFR Part 397 (HAZMAT) and 29 CFR (OSHA) rules, companies are required to train drivers on these specific handling risks. If they didn’t, they are liable.

We look at the “Company Man’s” logs from the wellsite. Was the driver pressured to make one last run after their shift should have ended? If so, the oil company—not just the trucking contractor—is responsible for your injuries. We aren’t afraid of these energy giants. We’ve fought BP and we will fight for you.

Why You Can’t DIY a Truck Accident Case

You might think, “The driver hit me, it’s obvious, I’ll just talk to their insurance.” Please don’t. The trucking company’s lawyers are currently looking at your social media. They are looking at your past medical records from 10 years ago to find a “reason” your back already hurt. They are hoping you’ll say something in a recorded statement that they can twist into “you were speeding” or “you didn’t have your lights on.”

An experienced attorney is your barrier. They talk to the insurance company so you don’t have to. As client Dame Haskett said, “Ralph reached out personally… Consistent communication.” We protect you from making mistakes that could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Every Loss is Real: From Missing Work to Missing Life Experiences

We know that a “serious injury” isn’t just about the pain. It’s about:

The birthday party you missed because you couldn’t leave the hospital.
The mortgage payments you’re worried about because you haven’t had a paycheck in three weeks.
The husband who has to quit his job to help you bathe and dress every morning.

These are real losses—and they are all compensable under Navarro County law. We make the insurance company see the human side of your case. We aren’t just looking for medical bills; we are looking for the total restoration of your life.

As Glenda Walker said, we “fought for me to get every dime I deserved.” We want to do the same for you.

Final Checklist: What to do in the 24 Hours After Your Crash

Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel “fine.” Go to the ER in Corsicana or your local trauma center.
Call Attorney911 (888-ATTY-911): Do this BEFORE you talk to any insurance adjuster.
Preserve Your Vehicle: Don’t let your insurance company “total” it and sell it for scrap. It is a key piece of evidence.
Save Your Clothes/Items: The blood, the shredded fabric—these are powerful visual evidence for a jury.
Don’t Post on Social Media: Not one word. The insurance company is watching.

Let us handle the rest. With 25 years of experience and a former insurance defense insider, we are Navarro County’s powerhouse legal team for trucking victims.

Detailed Breakdown of FMCSA Violation Impact

In Navarro County litigation, we use the FMCSA “Safety Measurement System” (SMS) to hang the trucking company. This is a public database that ranks every carrier in 7 categories (BASICS):

Unsafe Driving: Speeding, lane changes, distraction.
HOS Compliance: Fatigued driving and logbook falsification.
Driver Fitness: CDL violations and medical certificate issues.
Controlled Substances: Failed drug/alcohol tests.
Vehicle Maintenance: Brake and tire failures.
Hazmat Compliance: Improper crude/chemical transport.
Crash Indicator: The company’s history of previous wrecks.

If your crash was caused by a company with high “Vehicle Maintenance” and “HOS Compliance” scores, we argue that the company had a SYSTEMIC disregard for safety. A jury in Navarro County understands that if a company consistently ignores safety rules, eventually, someone—like you—gets hurt. This is where multi-million dollar verdicts are born.

Why Lupe Peña is the Difference-Maker

When Lupe worked for the national insurance defense firms, he saw how they tried to hide these scores. He saw how they tried to say an “exhausted driver” was just a one-time mistake. Now, he uses that “insider” knowledge to make sure they can’t hide anything from you.

As client Ernest Cano said, we will “fight tooth and nail.” We know their secrets.

Navarro County’s Insider Advantage.

From the Port of Houston to Navarro County: Intermodal Risks

Many of the 18-wheelers on I-45 through Navarro County are “intermodal”—carrying shipping containers from the Port of Houston to Dallas rail hubs. These containers are often top-heavy and improperly secured to the chassis.

If a shipping container tipped onto your vehicle, we look at the whole chain:

The Steamship Line: Did they weigh the container correctly?
The Loading Facility: Did they balance the cargo?
The Drayage Trucker: Did they verify the container was locked to the chassis?

These cases are complex because they involve multiple international and domestic companies. Ralph Manginello’s federal court experience is critical here—he knows how to navigate these multi-party corporate battles to get you the compensation you deserve.

Final Invitation: Let’s Rebuild Your Life Together

If you are a victim of a truck accident in Navarro County, your world probably feels like it’s in pieces. We are here to help you put them back together.
