The High Stakes of Trucking Accidents in Sterling City and West Texas

Sterling City sits at a critical junction of the Permian Basin energy corridor. As a result, Sterling County roads carry some of the most dangerous commercial traffic in the United States. We aren’t just talking about 18-wheelers hauling standard freight; we are talking about specialized industrial vehicles that require extraordinary skill to operate and maintain.

When these 80,000-pound machines collide with your 4,000-pound passenger car, the physics are unforgiving. A semi-truck is 20 to 25 times heavier than your sedan or SUV. The energy transferred in a collision at highway speeds is enough to crush steel and shatter lives. In Sterling City, these accidents often involve:

• Oilfield Service Vehicles: Water trucks, frac sand haulers, and crude oil tankers moving between local wellsites and the distribution hubs in Midland and San Angelo.
• Wind Energy Logistics: Sterling County is a leader in wind energy, meaning Highway 158 and Highway 87 frequently host oversized loads carrying turbine blades and tower sections that can weigh over 100,000 pounds and span half a football field.
• Corporate Delivery Fleets: Branded vehicles from companies like Walmart, Amazon, FedEx, and UPS that use Sterling City as a pass-through point for long-haul routes.
• Agricultural Transport: Cattle haulers and grain trucks that are often overloaded, creating severe stability and braking issues.

Since 1998, Ralph Manginello has seen the devastation these trucks cause. Our firm has recovered over $50 million for Texas injury victims, including multi-million dollar settlements for traumatic brain injuries (TBI) ranging from $1.5 million to $9.8 million, and amputation cases ranging from $1.9 million to $8.6 million. We have gone head-to-head with some of the largest corporations in the world, including BP after the Texas City refinery disaster. We know how to hold billion-dollar companies accountable.

Don’t let a corporate legal team dictate what your future is worth. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 and speak with a team that has a proven track record against corporate giants.

FMCSA Regulations: Proving Negligence in Your Sterling City Truck Accident

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets the rules for every commercial truck on Sterling City’s roads. These regulations, found in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), are not suggestions—they are federal law. When a trucking company in Sterling County violates these rules, they are negligent.

At Attorney911, we use these regulations as a blueprint for your recovery. We look for violations that typical car accident lawyers might miss:

49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS) and Driver Fatigue

Fatigue is the silent killer on West Texas highways. Truck drivers are often pressured by their employers to ignore federal rest requirements to meet delivery deadlines or keep oilfield operations running 24/7. Under 49 CFR § 395.3, property-carrying drivers are limited to 11 hours of driving after 10 consecutive hours off duty. If a driver was hauling produced water from a wellsite north of Sterling City and had been on shift for 14 hours, they were in violation of federal law. We subpoena Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data immediately to prove when a driver was operating while dangerously exhausted.

49 CFR Part 382: Drug and Alcohol Testing

Operating a commercial vehicle while impaired is an act of gross negligence. FMCSA rules require carriers to conduct pre-employment, random, and post-accident drug and alcohol testing. If a truck driver hit you on Highway 87 in Sterling City and the company failed to conduct a post-accident test as required by 49 CFR § 382.303, they are liable. Historically, substance abuse in the oilfield trucking sector is a documented concern that we investigate thoroughly in every Sterling County case.

49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualification

Trucking companies have a duty to ensure their drivers are qualified. 49 CFR § 391.11 mandates that drivers must hold a valid CDL, pass a medical exam, and have a safe driving history. When we see an accident involving a rental truck or a small delivery van in Sterling City, we often find that the driver was never properly qualified to handle the vehicle’s size. Hiring an unqualified driver is “negligent hiring,” and it makes the company directly responsible for your injuries.

49 CFR Parts 393 and 396: Parts, Accessories, and Maintenance

Commercial trucks in Sterling City must be in top mechanical condition. 49 CFR § 396.3 requires companies to “systematically inspect, repair, and maintain” all vehicles. In the harsh environment of Sterling County, where dust and heat punish vehicle systems, brake failures and tire blowouts are common. If the truck that hit you had “out-of-service” defects that were ignored by the company to save money, they have broken federal law and endangered every family in Sterling City.

Our managing partner Ralph Manginello is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. This federal experience is critical because FMCSA violations often lead to litigation in federal court. Call (888) 288-9911 to put a federal litigator on your side.

Why the Initial 48 Hours After Your Sterling City Accident Are Critical

After an 18-wheeler wreck in Sterling City, the clock is ticking against you. While you are focused on medical care at a regional hospital or being transported to a Level 1 trauma center, the trucking company is already working to destroy or hide evidence.

Evidence disappears fast in West Texas. The high heat of Sterling City can degrade physical evidence like skid marks on asphalt. Rainfall can wash away debris patterns. But the biggest risk is “Spoliation”—the destruction or overwriting of electronic evidence.

1. The Black Box (ECM): Almost every truck on SH-158 or US-87 has an Engine Control Module. This device records speed, braking, and throttle position. If not preserved, this data can be overwritten in as little as 30 days.
2. ELD Logs: Federal law only requires certain electronic logs to be kept for six months.
3. Dashcam Footage: Many corporate fleets, like those operated by Amazon or Walmart, use Netradyne or DriveCam systems. This video is often deleted within 7 to 14 days unless a formal legal demand is made.

The moment you hire Attorney911, we send a formal Spoliation Letter to the trucking company, the driver, and the insurance carrier. This letter legally mandates that they preserve every byte of data and every maintenance record. As client Angel Walle said, we solved in a “couple of months what others did nothing about in two years.” We move fast because we know that in Sterling City, speed wins cases.

Wait too long, and the proof of the company’s negligence may be lost forever. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately.

Every Trucking Accident Type We Handle in Sterling City

Sterling County’s diverse economy means we see every type of commercial vehicle crash. Each has unique mechanics and legal challenges.

Sterling City Oilfield Truck Accidents (Section E.12 Emphasis)

The Permian Basin runs through the heart of our region. Produced water tankers, crude oil haulers, and pneumatic sand trucks are a constant presence in Sterling City. These vehicles often operate on “lease roads”—unpaved tracks that connect sites to US-87. These roads are often narrow, unmaintained, and lack proper signage.

When a 130-barrel water truck rolls over on a Sterling County FM road, the “slosh effect” of the liquid cargo makes the crash even more violent. These companies often hire “independent contractors” to shield themselves from liability. We know how to pierce those shields and hold the oil company (the E&P operator) accountable for the unsafe conditions they created.

Wind Energy and Oversized Load Wrecks

Sterling County’s wind farms require the transport of massive components. When these oversized loads travel through Sterling City, they require escort vehicles and strictly followed routes. A failure in communication between the lead car and the truck driver can lead to a “squeeze play” accident or a collision where the component itself strikes another vehicle. These cases involve complex permitting and multi-party liability.

Jackknife and Rollover Accidents

On the long, straight stretches of Highway 158 outside Sterling City, wind gusts can catch a trailer, causing a jackknife. If the driver was speeding—a violation of 49 CFR § 392.6—or if the cargo was improperly secured under Part 393, the resulting pileup can involve half a dozen cars. Rollovers are particularly deadly because they often result in fuel fires or the crushing of smaller cars beneath the trailer.

Underride Collisions

These are among the most lethal accidents we see in Sterling City. An underride occurs when a car slides beneath the rear or side of a trailer. The results are often decapitation or catastrophic head trauma because the trailer height bypasses the car’s crumple zones. We investigate whether the truck was equipped with the required guards and if those guards were properly maintained.

Delivery Van and Box Truck Accidents

Amazon, FedEx, and UPS trucks are everywhere in Sterling City. Amazon delivery vans, in particular, move through residential areas under extreme time pressure. Amazon will tell you the driver wasn’t their employee—they’ll say it was a “Delivery Service Partner.” We have litigated against Amazon on this exact issue. We know that if Amazon controls the route, the uniform, and the monitoring cameras, they can’t hide behind a contractor label.

Whether you were hit by an 18-wheeler, a dump truck, a garbage truck, or an Amazon van, Attorney911 provides first-class representation. As Ernest Cano said, we “will fight tooth and nail for you.” Call 888-ATTY-911.

Who Is Liable for Your Injuries in Sterling County?

Most lawyers only sue the driver. We dig deeper. In a Sterling City trucking case, there are often 16 or more potentially liable parties. Casting a wide net is how we find the insurance money needed to cover a $10 million life care plan.

• The Driver: For direct negligence like distraction or fatigue.
• The Trucking Company: For negligent hiring or poor maintenance.
• The Oil Company/Lease Operator: Companies like Diamondback, Pioneer, or ExxonMobil often control the work environment in Sterling County. They may be liable for creating unsafe schedules or dangerous lease road conditions.
• The Cargo Loader: If shifting sand or water caused a rollover, the loading company is responsible.
• The Freight Broker: For hiring a carrier they knew had a “marginal” or “unsatisfactory” safety rating.
• Staffing Companies: Many West Texas drivers are provided by third-party labor brokers who fail to verify qualifications.
• Manufacturers: If a defective brake or tire caused the crash.

Our associate attorney Lupe Peña, with his former insurance defense background, knows exactly how these parties point the finger at each other. He uses their internal conflicts to maximize your recovery. Hablamos Español. Llame al 1-888-ATTY-911.

Catastrophic Injuries and Your Future in Sterling City

A truck accident doesn’t just result in a “trip to the ER.” It results in months of intensive care, multiple surgeries, and a permanently altered life. We represent Sterling City families facing the most severe trauma:

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): From mild concussions that cause permanent cognitive fog to severe injuries requiring 24/7 care.
• Spinal Cord Injury: Resulting in paraplegia or quadriplegia. The lifetime cost of care can exceed $5 million.
• Amputations: Often caused by crushing forces or fuel fires.
• Severe Burns: Associated with crude oil spills or tank ruptures.
• Wrongful Death: According to statistics, 76% of people killed in truck crashes are the occupants of the smaller vehicle. If you lost a spouse or child on a Sterling City road, we treat you like family—not a case number. Chad Harris said, “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.”

When you’re facing these injuries, you need to know how the insurance companies calculate your “pain and suffering.” They use algorithms designed to pay you as little as possible. We use medical experts, life care planners, and vocational specialists to prove the true cost of your loss.

Your family. Your future. Your fight. Call (888) 288-9911.

Commercial Insurance Minimums: Accessing the Recovery You Deserve

If you were hit by a regular car in Sterling City, you might be fighting over a $30,000 Texas minimum policy. In trucking, the numbers are much higher because the risks are higher.

But even $5 million isn’t enough in a wrongful death or paralysis case. Large corporate defendants like Walmart and Amazon are self-insured for the first several million dollars. This means they have “deep pockets,” but they also have the most aggressive defense teams. We have gone toe-to-toe with these giants. We litigated against BP after a disaster that resulted in $2.1 billion in settlements. Their fleet of lawyers doesn’t intimidate us.

Sterling City Truck Accident FAQ

How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Sterling City?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, in trucking, you shouldn’t wait more than two days to start your investigation. Evidence like the black box data and ELD logs can be lost long before the two-year deadline.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident on SH-158?
Texas follows a “Modified Comparative Negligence” rule. As long as you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages. Your final settlement will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 20% at fault, you get 80% of the award. We fight to minimize any fault attributed to you using expert accident reconstruction.

Why shouldn’t I talk to the insurance adjuster?
The adjuster’s job is to protect their billionaire employer’s bottom line. They will ask “how are you today?” and if you say “I’m okay,” they will use that as evidence that you weren’t truly injured. They are looking for any reason to deny your claim. Let us handle them.

What is my truck accident case worth?
Every case is unique. It depends on your medical bills, your degree of impairment, and the level of the company’s negligence. Our firm has recovered settlements exceeding $5 million for brain injuries and $3 million for amputation cases. We fight for “every dime” our clients deserve, as Glenda Walker put it.

Can I sue the oil company if the driver was a contractor?
Yes. In the Permian Basin, oil companies often hire contractors to haul water and sand. We can pursue the oil company for “Negligent Contractor Selection” if they hired a company with a known history of safety violations, or under premises liability if the wellsite conditions caused the crash.

Detailed Accident Breakdown: Identifying the Hazards on SH-158 and US-87

To understand why a truck accident in Sterling City is so complex, you have to look at the specific mechanics involved. Trucking companies often claim an accident was an “unavoidable mystery.” We use science to prove otherwise.

The Physics of the Jackknife on West Texas Rain

West Texas roads are notorious for being slick after the first rainfall of the season. When a driver slams on their brakes on Highway 158 approaching Sterling City, the cab slows down but the trailer’s momentum keeps it moving forward. The trailer swings out, creating a “V” shape that sweeps across both lanes. Under 49 CFR § 393.48, a truck’s brakes must be operative at all times. A jackknife is often proof that the brakes were poorly adjusted or the driver was traveling at a “speed in excess of those prescribed by the jurisdiction,” a violation of Part 392.6.

The Sterling County Rollover Danger

Wind is a major factor in Sterling County. Local wind farms exist because of it. High-profile “box” trailers or empty pneumatic sand haulers are effectively sails in the wind. If a driver fails to adjust speed for conditions—as required by 49 CFR § 392.14—the wind can tip the trailer. Rollovers also occur when drivers take the turns on US-87 too fast. An 18-wheeler’s center of gravity is dangerously high; once a rollover starts, it is impossible to stop. We look for ELD data that shows high-speed maneuvers just before the data cut off.

Wide Turn “Squeeze Play” in Sterling City

Truck drivers making right turns often swing wide to the left to clear the curb. If the driver fails to check their blind spots—the “No-Zones” defined by the FMCSA—they can crush a smaller car trapped between the truck and the curb. This is especially common at the intersections within the City of Sterling City where roads are narrower. We investigate whether the driver used their turn signals and performed the proper “hook” or “buttonhook” turn technique taught in CDL training.

Tire Blowouts and Maintenance Neglect

The extreme heat in Sterling City causes asphalt to soften and tire temperatures to soar. Retreaded tires (“road gators”) are common in the industry but dangerous. A steer tire blowout sends 80,000 pounds of truck veering into oncoming traffic on a two-lane road. 49 CFR § 393.75 sets tread depth and condition requirements. If that tire blew because the internal belts were exposed—a defect that should have been caught in a pre-trip inspection—the trucking company is 100% liable.

Brake Failure on the Descent

While West Texas is largely flat, the slight grades and sustained high-speed travel through Sterling County can cause “brake fade.” Friction builds up heat in drum brakes until they can no longer grip. This is why we subpoena maintenance logs and the Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) required by 49 CFR § 396.11. If the driver noted brake noise three days ago and the company sent them back on the road anyway, you are looking at a case for punitive damages.

Whether your life was changed by a rollover, a jackknife, or a blowout, we have the technical knowledge to prove fault. Learn more in our video guide: “The Definitive Guide To Commercial Truck Accidents” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEEeZf-k8Ao.

The Industry of Sterling City: Why Oilfield and Wind Haulers are Different

Legal representation in Sterling City requires an attorney who knows the local industries. A “general” personal injury lawyer doesn’t understand the unique dangers of a frac spread or the weight distribution of a wind turbine nacelle.

Sterling City Oilfield Water Trucks

In the Permian Basin, produced water—a byproduct of drilling—must be hauled away in massive quantities. These trucks are everywhere in Sterling County. The salt in produced water is highly corrosive, meaning these trailers age and fail faster than standard freight trailers. Furthermore, water haulers often run on “pay-per-load” systems. This incentivizes speed. If a driver is hurrying to get home to Sterling City after a 12-hour shift, fatigue and speed combine with a top-heavy shifting load of water. That is a recipe for disaster.

Frac Sand Haulers and Dust Hazards

Sand trucks create two hazards on SH-158. First, they are often overloaded to maximize profit. Second, they kick up clouds of caliche dust on lease roads that reduce visibility to zero. If a sand truck pulled out of a wellsite onto a public road without a spotter or proper lighting, causing you to strike it, they have violated both FMCSA rules and OSHA safety standards.

Wind Power Logistics

Sterling County is wind power country. The trucks hauling wind components are often over 15 feet tall and 100 feet long. They require special permits from the Texas Department of Transportation. If a wind hauler took a route not authorized by their permit or failed to have the required lead and chase cars on US-87, any resulting accident is an open-and-shut case for negligence.

We’ve 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. Call (888) 288-9911.

The Liable Parties: Piercing the Corporate Veil in Sterling City

When you are hit by a truck in Sterling City, you aren’t just suing a person. You are suing a sophisticated business structure.

The Independent Contractor Defense

Amazon and FedEx Ground use a system where they contract with small LLCs to handle delivery. When their drivers crash, the corporate parent says, “That’s not our driver.” We know how to defeat this. Under the “Right to Control” test, if Amazon sets the route, mandates the uniform, and monitors the driver in real-time with AI, they are the employer. Period.

Freight Broker Liability

Sometimes the trucking company is a “mom and pop” operation with only a $750,000 policy. If your medical bills are $2 million, $750k isn’t enough. We look at the Freight Broker who arranged the load. If the broker hired a carrier with an “Unsatisfactory” safety rating from the FMCSA, the broker can be held liable for “Negligent Selection.”

Third-Party Maintenance and Manufacturing

In many Sterling City cases, the maintenance for a fleet is outsourced. If the truck’s brakes failed because a third-party mechanic used counterfeit or substandard parts, that mechanic is a liable party. If a tire blowout was caused by a manufacturing defect, we pursue a product liability claim against the manufacturer.

Most firms only sue the driver and trucking company. We investigate ALL 16 potentially liable parties—because more defendants means more insurance coverage means higher compensation for you. Call 1-888-ATTY-911.

Catastrophic Damages: What You Are Owed in Sterling City

Under Texas law (which governs Sterling City), you are entitled to “make whole” damages. In a trucking case, this means maximizing every category of loss.

Economic Damages (The Bills)

• Medical Expenses: Trauma care, ICU stays, neurosurgery, and physical therapy. We project future costs, including life care plans for TBIs or spinal injuries.
• Lost Income: Not just the paychecks you missed, but your “Loss of Earning Capacity.” If you can no longer work in the Sterling City oilfield or ranching sector, you’ve lost a lifetime of potential.
• Property Damage: Your car was likely totaled. We ensure you get fair market value, not what the insurance company dictates.

Non-Economic Damages (The Pain)

• Pain and Suffering: Living with chronic back pain or the daily struggle of a prosthetic limb.
• Mental Anguish: The PTSD that makes you terrified to drive on Highway 87 ever again.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: No longer being able to hunt, fish, or ranch in Sterling County.
• Loss of Consortium: The damage the crash did to your marriage or your relationship with your children.

FAQ: Handling Local Concerns in Sterling City

What if the truck was from another state?
That is extremely common in Sterling City. These cases are often moved to Federal Court. Ralph Manginello is admitted to the Southern District of Texas and has handled cases against interstate carriers for over two decades. We handle the jurisdictional complexity while you focus on healing.

Will I have to go to the courthouse in Sterling City?
Most trucking cases are resolved through settlement or mediation. However, if the trucking company refuses to pay fairly, we are ready for trial. Juries in Sterling County know how dangerous these trucks are—they share the road with them every day. We aren’t afraid of a courtroom.

I was hit by a government-owned truck in Sterling City. Are the rules different?
Yes. Whether it’s a City of Sterling City utility truck or a TXDOT vehicle, the Texas Tort Claims Act applies. These cases have very strict “Notice of Claim” deadlines—sometimes as short as six months. If you miss this window, your case is barred forever. Call us immediately if a government vehicle was involved.

I was help by a U-Haul on Highway 158. Can I sue U-Haul?
The “Graves Amendment” generally protects rental companies from being sued for the renter’s bad driving. However, we can sue U-Haul or Penske directly if the truck was negligently maintained or if they negligently entrusted the 26,000-pound vehicle to someone who was clearly impaired or unqualified.

Is there a payout for PTSD after a truck wreck?
Absolutely. PTSD is a documented medical condition. If you have flashbacks, nightmares, or driving anxiety after being hit by an 18-wheeler in Sterling City, that is a compensable “non-economic” damage. See our video: “Can I Get a PTSD Payout After a Car Accident?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9803X_jnR4A.

Sterling City Deserves Expert Representation

One moment, you’re driving to work on Sterling City’s highways. The next, an 18-wheeler is jackknifing across three lanes. Your car weighs 4,000 pounds. The truck that hit you? 80,000. That is not a fair fight.

Before the ambulance arrives, the trucking company’s team is already working—to protect their interests, not yours. They are hoping you don’t know your rights. Let’s change that. Ralph Manginello and the team at Attorney911 have gone head-to-head with the largest corporations on the planet and made them pay.

As client Mongo Slade said, “I was rear-ended and the team got right to work… I also got a very nice settlement.” As Donald Wilcox noted, “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.”
