Facing the Aftermath of an 18-Wheeler Accident in Midway: You Need a Fighter, Not Just a Lawyer

The impact was catastrophic. You were just driving through Midway, perhaps headed down SH 21 or coming off I-45, when 80,000 pounds of steel changed your life in a fraction of a second. Against a passenger vehicle, an 18-wheeler isn’t just a truck; it is a weapon of physics. Your car weighs maybe 4,000 pounds. The commercial rig that hit you weighs twenty times that. It is not a fair fight on the road, and the legal battle that follows is even more lopsided.

If you’ve been hurt in a trucking accident in Midway, you need to understand that the clock is not just ticking; it is racing against you. While you are in the hospital dealing with the trauma of a traumatic brain injury or a shattered spine, the trucking company’s rapid-response team is already at the scene. They are already downloading black box data, photographing skid marks, and interviewing witnesses to build a defense that minimizes your suffering. You need a team that moves faster and fights harder.

At Attorney911, led by Ralph Manginello, we offer the aggressive, immediate legal response required to win these complex cases. With over 25 years of experience fighting Fortune 500 corporations and massive insurance conglomerates, Ralph brings federal court admission and a track record of multi-million dollar recoveries to every Midway case. We don’t just handle accidents; we litigate against industrial giants. From our experience in the BP Texas City Refinery litigation to our current $10 million lawsuit against a major university for catastrophic hazing injuries, we know how to handle high-stakes tragedy.

Call 1-888-ATTY-911 right now. We are available 24/7 because 18-wheeler emergencies don’t happen on a 9-to-5 schedule. In Midway, evidence disappears quickly, and you need a preservation letter sent within 24 hours. Don’t let the trucking company win by default because you waited too long to call for help.

The Attorney911 Advantage: Why Experience in Midway Matters

When you hire a lawyer for an 18-wheeler crash, you aren’t just looking for someone with a law degree. You are looking for a specialist who understands the FMCSR—the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Most personal injury firms handle car accidents and try to treat a truck crash the same way. That is a mistake that costs victims millions. A truck accident in Midway involves federal law, black box forensics, and complex layers of corporate liability.

Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has been representing injury victims since 1998. He is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, which is the same federal court where many significant trucking cases are heard. This isn’t just about knowing the local Midway community; it’s about knowing how to navigate the federal systems that govern the trucks moving through Madison County.

Our secret weapon is Associate Attorney Lupe Peña. Before joining our side of the courtroom, Lupe worked for a national insurance defense firm. He used to defend these same trucking companies. He knows their playbook. He knows how they use software like Colossus to devalue your claim. He knows the “recorded statement” traps adjusters set for you in the first 48 hours. Now, he uses that insider intelligence to maximize our clients’ settlements. As our client Chad Harris said, “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” We treat your family’s future with the same intensity we would our own.

Understanding the Physics of Destruction in Madison County Truck Crashes

The reason injuries in Midway trucking accidents are so severe comes down to basic biomechanics and physics. An 80,000-pound truck traveling at 65 mph on I-45 carries 16.5 times more destructive kinetic energy than your car. When that energy transfers to your vehicle, it doesn’t just dent the bumper; it crumples the steel cage designed to protect you.

Consider the stopping distance. A passenger car needs about 300 feet to stop on dry asphalt at highway speeds. A fully loaded semi-truck needs 525 feet—nearly two football fields. If a driver in Midway is fatigued or distracted, that distance increases exponentially. A fatigued driver has a perception-reaction time of 3 to 5 seconds. At highway speeds, that truck travels the length of a football field before the driver even touches the brakes.

This is why we see catastrophic results in Midway. We have recovered multi-million dollar settlements for traumatic brain injury victims ranging from $1.5 million to over $9.8 million because we understand how to prove that the laws of physics were ignored by a negligent driver.

18-Wheeler Accident Types Frequent on Midway Corridors

Midway’s position near major freight routes makes it a hotspot for specific types of commercial vehicle crashes. Each type of accident carries its own set of FMCSA violations and liability patterns.

Jackknife Accidents on SH 21 and SH 7

A jackknife occurs when a truck’s drive wheels lock or lose traction, causing the trailer to swing out at a 90-degree angle. This often happens on rural routes near Midway during sudden thunderstorms. This is a violation of 49 CFR § 392.14, which requires extreme caution when hazardous conditions exist. If a driver jackknifes in the rain, they likely failed to adjust their speed for the climate, creating a lethal barrier across the road.

Underride Collisions

These are the deadliest crashes we see in Madison County. An underride occurs when a smaller vehicle slides under the rear or side of a trailer. Federal law (49 CFR § 393.86) requires rear impact guards, but these guards often fail. If your loved one was killed or decapitated in an underride crash near Midway, we investigate if the guard was defective or if the trucking company ignored side-underride safety technology.

Rollovers on Rural Curves

Madison County’s rural roads have sharp curves and changing elevations. 18-wheelers have a high center of gravity. If a load is improperly secured (a violation of 49 CFR § 393.100), the cargo shifts, leading to a rollover. We use accident reconstruction experts to prove that the trucking company’s loading dock—not just the driver—is responsible for the catastrophe.

Brake Failure Rear-End Hits

Brake problems contribute to 29% of all large truck crashes. Under 49 CFR § 396.3, carriers must systematically inspect and maintain their brakes. If an 18-wheeler slammed into you from behind in Midway, the first thing we look at is the maintenance log. Did they defer a brake adjustment to save money? If they did, they are liable for your injuries.

If you’ve experienced any of these, don’t wait. Call 888-ATTY-911 now for a free case evaluation.

The 10 Parties We Hold Accountable in Your Midway Case

Most lawyers only sue the truck driver. At Attorney911, we know that the driver is often just the final link in a chain of corporate negligence. To maximize your recovery, we identify every single entity with insurance coverage.

1. The Truck Driver: For direct negligence like speeding or distraction.
2. The Trucking Company: For vicarious liability and negligent hiring.
3. The Cargo Owner: If the freight itself was hazardous or improperly disclosed.
4. The Loading Company: For failing to secure the load per federal standards.
5. The Truck Manufacturer: If a steering or brake defect caused the crash.
6. The Parts Manufacturer: For defective tires or lighting systems.
7. The Maintenance Company: If they signed off on a faulty inspection.
8. The Freight Broker: For hiring a carrier with a known bad safety record.
9. The Truck Owner: In owner-operator lease agreements.
10. Government Entities: If road design or maintenance in Midway was a factor.

By pursuing all ten parties, we can often access separate insurance policies ranging from $750,000 to $5 million. This is how we secure the funds necessary for a lifetime of care after a catastrophic injury.

The 48-Hour Urgency: Preserving Evidence Before It Disappears

This is the most critical part of your case. In the trucking industry, evidence has a shelf life. Trucking companies are legally allowed to destroy or overwrite data after a certain period—unless a lawyer stops them.

• Black Box (ECM) Data: This records speed, braking, and engine codes. It can be overwritten in as little as 30 days.
• ELD Logs: Electronic Logging Devices record hours of service. If we don’t subpoena these, a company can “edit” or delete them after 6 months.
• Dashcam Footage: Many commercial rigs have forward-facing cameras. This footage is often deleted within 7 to 14 days.
• Driver Qualification Files: These files show if the driver has a history of drug use or previous crashes.

We send a formal “Spoliation Letter” within 24 hours of being hired. This letter puts the trucking company on legal notice that they must preserve every byte of data and every scrap of paper related to the crash. If they destroy it after receiving our letter, we can ask the judge for a “spoliation instruction,” which tells the jury to assume the destroyed evidence proved the trucking company was guilty. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately to protect your evidence.

FMCSA Regulations: Proving Negligence through Federal Law

We don’t just say the trucking company was “careless.” We cite the exact federal regulation they violated. This is clinical, technical litigation that forces higher settlements.

49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS)

Fatigue is the silent killer on the roads around Midway. Drivers are strictly limited: 11 hours of driving in a 14-hour window, followed by 10 hours of rest. When e-commerce giants like Amazon or Walmart push for faster deliveries, drivers skip breaks. We use ELD forensics to find the hidden violations that prove the driver was essentially a zombie behind the wheel when they hit you.

49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualification

Did the company hire a driver without a background check? Did the driver have a valid medical certificate? If we find that the carrier ignored a history of DWI or speeding, we pursue punitive damages. Punitive damages go beyond your medical bills—they are designed to punish the company for reckless disregard for the people of Midway.

49 CFR Part 396: Maintenance and Inspection

Every truck must pass a pre-trip and post-trip inspection. If a tire blew out and caused a rollover, we find out if the tread depth was below the 4/32-inch legal requirement. We hold them accountable for the “deferred maintenance” that prioritized their bottom line over your safety.

Multi-Million Dollar Results for Midway Families

We talk about results because they are the only measure of a firm’s power. At Attorney911, we have recovered over $50 million for our clients. We have secured $5 million for victims of traumatic brain injuries and over $3.8 million for clients facing life-altering amputations.

When you see headlines like the $730 million Werner verdict in Texas or the $1 billion Florida trucking verdict, it proves one thing: Juries are tired of corporate entities treating human lives as a line item on a balance sheet. Our associate Lupe Peña’s experience in insurance defense means we know exactly how to frame these arguments to the insurance companies. They know that if they don’t settle for a fair amount, Ralph Manginello is ready to take them to federal court.

As Donald Wilcox said after his case settled, “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 difficult cases other firms fear, and we win. Learn more about the settlement process in our video “The Ultimate Guide to Car Accident Settlements” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=subYAvjsgk4.

Catastrophic Injuries: Managing the Impact on Your Future

A trucking accident doesn’t just cause “pain.” It causes a collapse of your ability to function. In Midway, we represent victims facing the most difficult recoveries.

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Whether it is a concussion or a permanent cognitive impairment, TBI changes your personality and your ability to earn a living. We work with neurologists and life-care planners to calculate the cost of cognitive therapy for the next 40 years. Our TBI settlements often reach into the multi-millions because the care costs are astronomical.

Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis

A spinal injury can cost between $1 million and $5 million in medical expenses over a victim’s lifetime. If you are facing paraplegia or quadriplegia after a crash on I-45, you cannot settle for a “standard” offer. You need a settlement that covers round-the-clock nursing care, home modifications, and specialized vehicles.

Wrongful Death and Loss of Consortium

If you lost a spouse or child in Midway, no amount of money replaces them. However, a wrongful death claim is about holding the corporate giants accountable so they don’t do it to another family. We pursue damages for lost income, funeral costs, and the “mental anguish” of losing your loved one’s companionship.

Insurance Tactics: How They Try to Cheat Midway Victims

Because Lupe Peña used to work for the insurance companies, we can tell you exactly what is happening behind the scenes of your claim.

1. The Quick Lowball Offer: They will call you within days, perhaps while you are still on pain medication, and offer you $20,000 for a “release of all claims.” Never sign this. Your TBI might not even be fully diagnosed yet.
2. The Recorded Statement Trap: They will sound friendly. They will ask, “How are you doing today?” If you say “Fine,” they will use that in court to argue you weren’t actually hurt. Never speak to them without us.
3. The Surveillance Tactic: If your case is worth millions, the trucking company will hire investigators to follow you in Midway. They hope to catch you lifting a grocery bag so they can say you are faking your back injury.
4. The Colossus Algorithm: They use software to assign a value to your injuries based on “codes.” If your doctor doesn’t use the right ICD-10 code, the computer pays you less. We work with your doctors to ensure the records correctly reflect the severity.

Carrier Intelligence: Who Is Driving Through Midway?

We maintain profiles on the major carriers moving through Madison County. We know their safety records and their favorite defense tactics.

• Knight-Swift Transportation: The largest carrier in the US with nearly 20,000 trucks. They have high turnover and a history of safety violations on Texas interstates.
• Werner Enterprises: Still reeling from massive Texas verdicts, Werner has a systemic issue with training inexperienced drivers.
• Amazon Logistics: Using a “Contractor Model” (DSPs) to try and avoid liability. We see through this shell game—Amazon controls the routes and the uniforms; they are liable.
• Walmart Fleet: Unlike Amazon, Walmart owns its trucks. They are self-insured and fight claims more aggressively than almost anyone else.
• FedEx Ground: Another contractor-heavy model. We know the legal theories to pierce their “independent contractor” shield.

When we see these names on the police report, we know exactly which buttons to push to get them to the negotiating table.

Midway Trucking Corridor Intelligence: SH 21 and I-45

Madison County is a crossroads. I-45, which sits just west of Midway, has been named the deadliest highway in the United States and has claimed nearly 700 lives in recent years. It is a corridor of fatigue, where drivers are pushing from the Port of Houston to the Dallas-Fort Worth distribution hubs.

SH 21, the “Old San Antonio Road,” carries heavy regional freight through the heart of Midway. These two-lane sections are prone to head-on collisions and sideswipes from oversized loads. Whether you were hit near the Trinity River or in the center of town, we know the local dangerous interchanges and construction zones that contributed to your crash.

Frequently Asked Questions for Midway Trucking Victims

How long do I have to file a claim in Midway?

In Texas, the statute of limitations is two years. However, if you wait six months, the electronic evidence in the truck is likely gone. You have two years to sue, but you have about 48 hours to save your case’s value.

What if I was partially at fault?

Texas uses “Modified Comparative Negligence.” As long as you were not 51% or more at fault, you can still recover. If you were 20% at fault, you get 80% of the settlement. Don’t let the insurance adjuster trick you into thinking you have no case just because you were speeding a few miles over the limit.

Can I sue the company that loaded the truck?

Yes. If the cargo shifted and caused the driver to lose control, the loading company is a separate defendant with a separate insurance policy. This is how we build the value of your case.

How much is my case worth?

Every case is unique. However, cases involving permanent injuries often settle in the $500,000 to $5,000,000 range. Our job is to prove the maximum possible value. Learn more in our video “How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onBzdkIWadY.

What if an Amazon van hit me, not a semi?

Amazon delivery vans are commercial vehicles. Even if it is a smaller van, the same rules about distraction and fatigue apply. Amazon will try to say the driver works for a “DSP,” but we hold Amazon responsible for the route timing that caused the crash.

Deep Dive into Midway Truck Accident Liability: The Corporate Chain

In Midway, most people think an accident starts and ends with the driver’s actions. However, at Attorney911, we view the driver only as the starting point. When an 80,000-pound rig causes a catastrophe on I-45 or SH 21, the liability often stretches back to corner offices in distant cities.

Negligent Hiring and Retention

Trucking companies are desperate for drivers. The turnover rate in the industry is over 90%. This leads companies to cut corners in their hiring process—a direct violation of 49 CFR § 391. If a carrier hired a driver with a history of drug use or three previous wrecks, we sue the company for negligent hiring. Ralph Manginello has spent 25 years exposing these “danger-hiring” practices.

Negligent Training

Driving a truck is a specialized skill. If a company puts an inexperienced driver behind the wheel and fails to train them on how to handle the heavy winds or sharp curves often seen in rural Midway, they are liable. We subpoena the training records to see if the driver ever actually learned how to mitigate a rollover or a jackknife.

The Freight Broker Liability

This is the newest frontier of trucking law. If a broker (the person who connects shippers with trucks) hires a “bottom of the barrel” trucking company because they are the cheapest, the broker can be liable for “negligent selection.” This adds another multi-million dollar insurance policy to your case.

Catastrophic Damages: More Than Just Medical Bills

We don’t just calculate your current bills. We look at the total “economic and non-economic” impact of your Midway accident.

• Lost Future Earning Capacity: If your injury prevents you from returning to your job in Midway, you are entitled to every dollar you would have earned until retirement. We hire expert economists to calculate this number, often reaching in the millions.
• Disfigurement and Scarring: Especially in tanker fire cases, the trauma isn’t just physical. It’s the way the world looks at you. Texas law allows for significant compensation for the humiliation and trauma of permanent disfigurement.
• Loss of Quality of Life: If you can no longer pick up your kids or enjoy the outdoor life Madison County is known for, you deserve to be compensated for that loss of freedom.

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

The Role of Alcohol and Drugs in Midway Truck Crashes

While alcohol use is low among commercial drivers due to strict federal limits (.04 BAC instead of .08), over-the-counter and prescription drug use is a major factor. Drivers often take stimulants to stay awake or high-powered painkillers to manage back pain from long hauls. Under 49 CFR § 382, trucking companies must conduct random drug tests. If they failed to test the driver or ignored a “positive” result, we seek maximum punitive damages to ensure the people of Midway are protected from such recklessness.

The Regulatory Framework: How FMCSA Violations Win Your Case

When we walk into a courtroom for a Midway trucking accident, we don’t just talk about the crash. We bring a stack of federal regulations. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has created thousands of rules designed to prevent death on the highway. When these rules are broken, it is “negligence per se”—meaning the violation itself is proof of negligence.

49 CFR § 392.3: The Ill or Fatigued Driver Rule

This is one of the most powerful rules in our arsenal. It states that no driver can operate a vehicle while their ability is impaired by fatigue or illness. If we can prove with ELD data or phone records that the driver had only slept three hours in the last twenty-four, the trucking company has zero defense. They broke a fundamental safety law.

49 CFR § 393.75: The Tire Safety Mandate

Blowouts are rarely an “act of God.” They are usually the result of a carrier forcing a driver to use tires that are bald or damaged. FMCSA requires a minimum of 4/32-inch tread on steer tires. We send experts to measure the tread on the rig that hit you. If those tires were unsafe, the trucking company is 100% liable for the blowout. Watch our video “Truck Tire Blowouts and When You Need a Lawyer” for more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCTumr1looc.

49 CFR § 392.80: Texting and Distraction

Distracted driving is an epidemic in the industry. We subpoena the cell phone records for every truck accident in Midway. If the driver was watching a video, texting, or even using a hand-held device at the moment of the crash, they have violated federal law.

The Financial Reality: Why High-Value Settlements Are Necessary

People sometimes feel guilty for seeking millions of dollars. You shouldn’t. An 18-wheeler accident in Midway can leave you with $500,000 in medical bills before you even leave the ICU. If your injury is permanent, your lifetime costs of care could easily exceed $5 million.

The insurance companies carry large policies because they know how much damage their trucks do. If you accept a small settlement now, you are essentially paying out of your own pocket for the trucking company’s mistake later. Attorney911 ensures the trucking company—not you—pays for your medical care, your lost income, and your pain.

As Kiimarii Yup told us after her case, “I lost everything… 1 year later I have gained so much in return plus a brand new truck.” We help you rebuild your life from the ground up.

Final Action Plan for Midway Truck Accident Victims

1. Seek Medical Care: Go to the ER in Madisonville or a trauma center in a nearby city. Documentation is key.
2. Call 1-888-ATTY-911: Do this before you call your own insurance and definitely before you talk to the truck’s insurance.
3. Do Not Post on Social Media: They are watching. An innocent photo of you at a Midway community event could be used to devalue your claim.
4. Save Everything: Every receipt, every medical bill, every scrap of paper.
5. Let Us Handle the Rest: We will send the expert reconstructionists and the spoliation letters. We will manage the adjusters. You just focus on getting better.

The Madison County Crossroads: Navigating High-Speed Danger in Midway

Midway is located in a geographic funnel of Texas freight. With Highway 21 cutting through and the constant drone of Interstates nearby, our community sees more than its fair share of heavy haulers. The trucks you see in Midway are often carrying cattle from the Panhandle, oilfield equipment for the Woodbine formation, or international containers from the Gulf ports. Each of these cargo types presents a unique danger to the residents of Midway.

When a tanker carrying crude oil from the Permian Basin rolls over on a Midway curve, it isn’t just a traffic jam—it’s a hazmat emergency under 49 CFR Part 397. These cases require a firm that understands the environmental and explosion risks inherent in energy sector trucking. Ralph Manginello’s experience in the BP Texas City Refinery disaster gives us a unique perspective on industrial-scale negligence. We know how to hold energy companies accountable.

If you’ve been hit by an oilfield water hauler or a cattle truck near Midway, call 888-ATTY-911. We speak the language of the energy sector and the trucking industry.

Why Settlement Mills Fail Midway Families

You’ve seen the billboards. You’ve seen the commercials for law firms that handle “thousands of cases.” In the legal world, those are called “settlement mills.” They want to process your case as fast as possible so they can move to the next one.

A “mill” will not subpoena the ECM data. They will not hire an accident reconstructionist to measure the skid marks on the Midway pavement. They will not depose the safety director of the trucking company to find the history of HOS violations. Because they don’t do the work, they accept the trucking company’s first “reasonable” offer.

At Attorney911, we are the firm insurers fear. They know Ralph Manginello is a trial lawyer who is admitted to the Southern District of Texas. They know he has the resources to litigate a case for two years if that’s what it takes to get you the full value of your claim. We are proud of solving in months what others couldn’t do in years, as Angel Walle noted, but we never sacrifice value for speed.

The Myth of the “Independent Contractor”

If you were hit by a FedEx Ground or Amazon van in Midway, the company will almost certainly tell you, “The driver isn’t our employee. They are an independent contractor. We aren’t responsible.”

This is a legal shield designed to keep their billions of dollars safe while leaving you with nothing. We take a sledgehammer to that shield. Under the law, if the company exercises “control” over the driver—telling them what to wear, which route to take in Midway, and how fast to drive—they are a de facto employer. We have the experience to prove that control exists and force the parent company to pay for their driver’s negligence.

Comprehensive Investigation: The Attorney911 Standard

When we take a Midway truck accident case, we conduct a “Phase 1” investigation within 72 hours. This includes:

1. Electronic Forensics: Downloading the Engine Control Module (ECM) data to prove the truck’s speed at impact.
2. Scene Documentation: Using drones to map the crash site near Midway before road repairs change the surface.
3. Witness Canvassing: Our investigators talk to people in the local Midway businesses who may have seen the truck driving erratic before the crash.
4. Carrier Audit: We pull the FMCSA “SAFER” report to see if this company has a pattern of “Out of Service” violations. If they are a “chameleon carrier”—one that changes its name to hide its bad record—we expose them.

This level of detail is why we secure multi-million dollar results. This is why we are members of the Trial Lawyers Achievement Association Million Dollar Club.

FMCSA Part 395: The Fatigue Epidemic on I-45 and Midway Roads

Fatigue is a choice made by a trucking company. When a carrier schedules a run from Houston to Dallas through Madison County that doesn’t allow for the mandatory 10 hours of rest, they are choosing profit over your life. This is a violation of 49 CFR Part 395.

ELD data is the primary evidence in these cases. Before 2017, drivers used “paper logs,” which were jokingly called “comic books” because they were so easy to falsify. Today, the ELD synchronizes with the truck’s engine. If that truck was moving, the ELD knows it. If the trucking company tells their driver to “unplug” the ELD or uses an “AOBRD” workaround, we find the digital fingerprints of that fraud.

Falsifying hours of service is gross negligence. It is grounds for punitive damages in Texas. At Attorney911, we are experts in untangling ELD data to prove the driver had been awake for 20 hours when they caused the crash in Midway.

49 CFR Part 393: The Equipment Standard

Trucks moving through Midway must be equipped with safe parts. When a trailer’s lighting is out (Part 393.11) or their brakes are out of adjustment (Part 393.47), it isn’t an accident—it’s a regulatory failure.

Rear-end crashes at night often involve “conspicuity” issues. If the truck’s reflective tape was covered in dirt or missing, you couldn’t see the massive obstacle in front of you. We hold the carrier responsible for the “conspicuous” failure to maintain their equipment.

Why 24/7 Availability Matters for Midway Residents

Midway is on a 24-hour cycle of freight. If your accident happens at 3:00 AM on a Sunday, you can’t wait until Monday morning to start your case. Every hour the truck sits in an impound lot is an hour the trucking company’s lawyers are working to “clean up” the evidence.

We answer the phone 24/7 at 1-888-ATTY-911. We have our investigators ready to deploy to Midway at any hour. This speed is the difference between a $100,000 settlement and a $5,000,000 settlement.

As client Dame Haskett said, “Consistent communication and not one time did I call and not get a clear answer.” We are here when the emergency happens.

Wrongful Death Settlements: Justice for Midway Families

The average 18-wheeler wrongful death settlement in Texas ranges from $1.9 million to over $9.5 million. These numbers are high because a truck crash is almost always 100% preventable. If a carrier had followed Part 391 and background-checked their driver, or followed Part 396 and fixed their brakes, your loved one would still be here.

We don’t just sue for the “billable” loss. We sue for the empty chair at the Midway holiday table. We sue for the guidance a father can no longer give his children. We sue for the mental anguish of the family left behind.

Call 888-ATTY-911 for a compassionate, private consultation.
