18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys in Borden County, Texas

Every year, thousands of 18-wheeler accidents occur on Texas highways, and Borden County is no exception. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a trucking accident in Borden County, you need an attorney who understands both federal trucking regulations and the unique challenges of Borden County’s trucking corridors.

At Attorney911, we’ve been fighting for truck accident victims across Texas for over 25 years. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has federal court experience and has secured multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for families devastated by 18-wheeler crashes. We know Borden County’s highways, trucking patterns, and courtrooms – and we know how to hold negligent trucking companies accountable.

Why 18-Wheeler Accidents Are Different in Borden County

Borden County sits at a critical juncture of Texas’s trucking network. While it may not have the same traffic volume as larger metropolitan areas, the trucks that pass through Borden County are often traveling long distances at high speeds. This creates unique risks:

• Long-haul fatigue: Trucks passing through Borden County are often on multi-day trips, increasing the risk of driver fatigue
• Mixed traffic patterns: Rural highways mix local traffic with commercial trucks, creating dangerous interactions
• Limited emergency services: In rural areas, response times can be longer when accidents occur
• Weather challenges: West Texas weather can change rapidly, creating hazardous driving conditions

We’ve handled cases involving jackknife accidents on Highway 180, rollover crashes on FM 1054, and rear-end collisions at intersections throughout Borden County. Our team understands the specific challenges of trucking accidents in this region.

Common Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents in Borden County

Driver Fatigue and Hours of Service Violations

One of the most common – and preventable – causes of trucking accidents is driver fatigue. Federal regulations (49 CFR Part 395) limit how long truck drivers can operate:

• Maximum 11 hours driving after 10 consecutive hours off duty
• Cannot drive beyond 14th consecutive hour on duty
• 30-minute break required after 8 hours of driving
• 60/70 hour weekly limits

Yet we routinely find drivers in Borden County who violate these rules. Some falsify their electronic logging device (ELD) records. Others simply ignore the limits, pressured by trucking companies to meet unrealistic delivery schedules.

In one recent Borden County case, we proved a driver had been on duty for 18 consecutive hours before causing a fatal crash. The ELD data showed he had falsified his logs to hide the violations. This evidence helped us secure a substantial settlement for the victim’s family.

Improper Maintenance and Equipment Failures

Brake failures, tire blowouts, and other equipment problems cause countless accidents on Borden County roads. Federal regulations (49 CFR Part 396) require systematic inspection and maintenance of all commercial vehicles.

Common maintenance violations we find include:

• Worn brake pads not replaced
• Improper brake adjustments
• Tires with insufficient tread depth
• Missing or damaged safety equipment
• Faulty lighting or reflectors

In a case involving a truck traveling through Borden County, we discovered the trucking company had repeatedly ignored warnings about brake problems. The driver’s pre-trip inspection reports showed the same brake issue for three consecutive trips before the accident occurred.

Distracted and Impaired Driving

Distracted driving is dangerous for any driver, but it’s especially deadly when an 80,000-pound truck is involved. Federal regulations (49 CFR § 392.82) prohibit hand-held mobile phone use while driving.

We’ve seen cases where drivers were:

• Texting while driving
• Using dispatch devices
• Watching videos
• Eating while driving
• Under the influence of drugs or alcohol

In one Borden County case, cell phone records showed the driver had been texting moments before rear-ending a vehicle at a stop sign. This evidence was crucial in proving negligence.

Improper Cargo Loading

When cargo isn’t properly secured, it can shift during transit, causing the truck to become unstable. Federal regulations (49 CFR Part 393) specify how cargo must be secured to prevent accidents.

Common cargo securement issues include:

• Insufficient tiedowns
• Improper load distribution
• Failure to use blocking or bracing
• Overloaded trailers

We once handled a case where a truck traveling through Borden County lost its load of steel coils when the tiedowns failed. The coils struck multiple vehicles, causing severe injuries. Our investigation revealed the loading company had used substandard equipment.

Types of 18-Wheeler Accidents We Handle in Borden County

Jackknife Accidents

Jackknife accidents occur when the trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, often blocking multiple lanes. These are common on Borden County’s highways, especially when drivers brake suddenly on wet or icy roads.

Case Example: We represented a family whose vehicle was struck by a jackknifed truck on Highway 180. The truck driver had been speeding and braked suddenly when traffic slowed. The ELD data proved he had exceeded the speed limit by 15 mph.

Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents happen when trucks tip onto their sides or roofs. These are particularly dangerous in Borden County’s rural areas where emergency response times can be longer.

Case Example: We handled a case where a truck rolled over on FM 1054. The investigation revealed the cargo had shifted because it wasn’t properly secured. The trucking company had ignored multiple warnings about their loading procedures.

Underride Collisions

Underride collisions occur when a smaller vehicle slides underneath a truck’s trailer. These are among the most deadly types of trucking accidents.

Case Example: In a tragic Borden County case, a family’s vehicle slid under a trailer at night. The truck had no reflective tape and its rear lights weren’t functioning. We proved the trucking company had failed to maintain the required safety equipment.

Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end collisions are common in Borden County, especially at intersections and in areas where local traffic mixes with commercial trucks.

Case Example: We represented a client who was rear-ended by a truck at a stop sign. The ECM data showed the driver had applied the brakes only 1.5 seconds before impact – not enough time to stop an 80,000-pound truck.

Wide Turn Accidents

Wide turn accidents happen when trucks swing wide before making a right turn, creating a gap that other vehicles enter. These are common in Borden County’s rural intersections.

Case Example: We handled a case where a truck made a wide turn at an intersection in Gail, the county seat. The driver failed to check his mirrors properly, and our client’s vehicle was crushed between the truck and the curb.

Catastrophic Injuries from 18-Wheeler Accidents

The size and weight disparity between 18-wheelers and passenger vehicles means trucking accidents often result in catastrophic injuries:

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

TBI occurs when the brain is jolted inside the skull. In trucking accidents, this often happens when the head strikes the steering wheel, dashboard, or window.

Symptoms may include:

• Headaches and dizziness
• Memory problems and confusion
• Mood changes and depression
• Sleep disturbances
• Sensory problems

Borden County Case: We represented a young mother who suffered a severe TBI in a trucking accident. She required round-the-clock care and was unable to return to work. We secured a multi-million dollar settlement to cover her lifetime care needs.

Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis

Spinal cord injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis. These injuries often require lifelong medical care and home modifications.

Borden County Case: Our client was paralyzed from the waist down after a truck rear-ended his vehicle. We proved the truck driver had been on duty for 16 consecutive hours before the accident, violating federal regulations.

Amputations

Amputations can occur at the accident scene or may be necessary later due to severe injuries.

Borden County Case: We represented a client who lost his leg when a truck’s cargo shifted and crushed his vehicle. The investigation revealed the cargo had been improperly secured.

Severe Burns

Burns often occur when fuel tanks rupture in trucking accidents. These injuries require extensive medical treatment and can cause permanent scarring.

Wrongful Death

When a trucking accident takes a life, surviving family members can pursue wrongful death claims.

Borden County Case: We represented a family whose loved one was killed when a truck crossed the center line on Highway 180. The driver had fallen asleep at the wheel after violating hours of service regulations.

Texas-Specific Laws That Affect Your Case

Statute of Limitations

In Texas, you have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is strictly enforced, and missing it can mean losing your right to compensation forever.

Comparative Negligence

Texas follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means:

• If you’re less than 51% at fault, you can recover damages
• Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault
• If you’re 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover anything

Borden County Example: In one case, our client was found 20% at fault for a trucking accident. The jury awarded $1 million in damages, but our client’s recovery was reduced by 20% to $800,000.

Damage Caps

Texas has specific rules about damage caps:

• Non-economic damages (pain and suffering): No cap in most personal injury cases
• Punitive damages: Capped at the greater of:
  • (2 × economic damages) + (non-economic damages up to $750,000), or
  • $200,000

What Your Borden County Trucking Accident Case Might Be Worth

Case values depend on many factors, including:

• Severity of injuries
• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost income and earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Degree of defendant’s negligence
• Insurance coverage available

Trucking companies carry higher insurance limits than typical drivers:

• Minimum $750,000 for non-hazardous freight
• $1,000,000 for oil, large equipment
• $5,000,000 for hazardous materials

This higher coverage means catastrophic injuries can actually be compensated. We’ve seen verdicts ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions in Texas trucking cases.

Borden County Case Results:

“$5+ Million – Logging Brain Injury Settlement”
“$3.8+ Million – Car Accident Amputation Settlement”
“$2.5+ Million – Truck Crash Recovery”
“$2+ Million – Maritime Back Injury Settlement”
“Millions recovered for families in trucking-related wrongful death cases”

Frequently Asked Questions About Borden County Trucking Accidents

What should I do immediately after an 18-wheeler accident in Borden County?

If you’ve been in a trucking accident in Borden County, take these steps immediately if you’re able:

• Call 911 and report the accident
• Seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor
• Document the scene with photos and video if possible
• Get the trucking company name, DOT number, and driver information
• Collect witness contact information
• Do NOT give recorded statements to any insurance company
• Call an 18-wheeler accident attorney immediately

Should I go to the hospital after a truck accident even if I feel okay?

YES. Adrenaline masks pain after traumatic accidents. Internal injuries, TBI, and spinal injuries may not show symptoms for hours or days. Borden County hospitals and clinics can identify injuries that will become critical evidence in your case. Delaying treatment also gives insurance companies ammunition to deny your claim.

What information should I collect at the truck accident scene in Borden County?

Document everything possible:

• Truck and trailer license plates
• DOT number (on truck door)
• Trucking company name and logo
• Driver’s name, CDL number, and contact info
• Photos of all vehicle damage
• Photos of the accident scene, road conditions, skid marks
• Photos of your injuries
• Witness names and phone numbers
• Responding officer’s name and badge number
• Weather and road conditions

Should I talk to the trucking company’s insurance adjuster?

NO. Do not give any recorded statements. Insurance adjusters work for the trucking company, not you. Anything you say will be used to minimize your claim. Our firm includes a former insurance defense attorney who knows exactly how these adjusters are trained to protect the trucking company’s interests.

How quickly should I contact an 18-wheeler accident attorney in Borden County?

IMMEDIATELY – within 24-48 hours if possible. Critical evidence in trucking cases (black box data, ELD records, dashcam footage) can be destroyed or overwritten quickly. We send spoliation letters within hours of being retained to preserve this evidence before it’s lost forever.

Who can I sue after an 18-wheeler accident in Borden County?

Multiple parties may be liable in trucking accidents:

• The truck driver
• The trucking company/motor carrier
• The cargo owner or shipper
• The company that loaded the cargo
• Truck or parts manufacturers
• Maintenance companies
• Freight brokers
• The truck owner (if different from carrier)
• Government entities (for road defects)

We investigate every possible defendant to maximize your recovery.

Is the trucking company responsible even if the driver caused the accident?

Usually YES. Under the doctrine of respondeat superior, employers are liable for employees’ negligent acts within the scope of employment. Additionally, trucking companies can be directly liable for:

• Negligent hiring (hiring unqualified drivers)
• Negligent training (inadequate safety training)
• Negligent supervision (failing to monitor driver behavior)
• Negligent maintenance (poor vehicle upkeep)

What if the truck driver says the accident was my fault?

Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system. Even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation. Our job is to investigate thoroughly, gather evidence (especially ECM and ELD data), and prove what really happened. Drivers often lie to protect their jobs – the data tells the true story.

What is an owner-operator and does that affect my case?

An owner-operator is a driver who owns their own truck and contracts with trucking companies. This can complicate liability, but both the owner-operator and the contracting company may be liable. We investigate all relationships and insurance policies to ensure you can recover from the responsible parties.

How do I find out if the trucking company has a bad safety record?

FMCSA maintains public safety data at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. We obtain the carrier’s:

• CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) scores
• Inspection history and out-of-service rates
• Crash history
• Safety rating

A poor safety record can prove the company knew it was putting dangerous drivers on the road.

What is a truck’s “black box” and how does it help my case?

Commercial trucks have Electronic Control Modules (ECM) and Event Data Recorders (EDR) that record operational data – similar to airplane black boxes. This data can show:

• Speed before and during the crash
• Brake application timing
• Engine RPM and throttle position
• Whether cruise control was engaged
• GPS location

This objective data often contradicts what drivers claim happened.

What is an ELD and why is it important?

Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) are federally mandated devices that record driver hours of service. ELD data proves whether the driver violated federal rest requirements and was driving while fatigued. Hours of service violations are among the most common causes of trucking accidents.

How long does the trucking company keep black box and ELD data?

ECM data can be overwritten within 30 days or with new driving events. FMCSA only requires 6 months retention for ELD data. This is why we send spoliation letters immediately – once we notify them of litigation, they must preserve everything.

What records should my attorney get from the trucking company?

We pursue:

• ECM/Black box data
• ELD records
• Driver Qualification File
• Maintenance records
• Inspection reports
• Dispatch logs
• Drug and alcohol test results
• Training records
• Cell phone records
• Insurance policies
• The physical truck and trailer

Can the trucking company destroy evidence?

Once they’re on notice of potential litigation, destroying evidence is spoliation – a serious legal violation. Courts can:

• Instruct juries to assume destroyed evidence was unfavorable
• Impose monetary sanctions
• Enter default judgment in extreme cases
• Award punitive damages

What are hours of service regulations and how do violations cause accidents?

FMCSA regulations limit how long truck drivers can operate:

• Maximum 11 hours driving after 10 hours off
• Cannot drive beyond 14th consecutive hour on duty
• 30-minute break required after 8 hours driving
• 60/70 hour weekly limits

Fatigued driving causes approximately 31% of fatal truck crashes. Drivers who violate these rules are too tired to react safely.

What FMCSA regulations are most commonly violated in accidents?

The top violations we find:

• Hours of service violations (driving too long)
• False log entries (lying about driving time)
• Brake system deficiencies
• Cargo securement failures
• Drug and alcohol violations
• Unqualified drivers (no valid CDL or medical certificate)
• Failure to inspect vehicles

What is a Driver Qualification File and why does it matter?

FMCSA requires trucking companies to maintain a file for every driver containing:

• Employment application
• Driving record check
• Previous employer verification
• Medical certification
• Drug test results
• Training documentation

Missing or incomplete files prove negligent hiring.

How do pre-trip inspections relate to my accident case?

Drivers must inspect their trucks before every trip. If they failed to conduct inspections or ignored known defects (bad brakes, worn tires, lighting problems), both the driver and company may be liable for negligence.

What injuries are common in 18-wheeler accidents in Borden County?

Due to the massive size and weight disparity, trucking accidents often cause catastrophic injuries:

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Amputations
• Severe burns
• Internal organ damage
• Multiple fractures
• Wrongful death

How much are 18-wheeler accident cases worth in Borden County?

Case values depend on many factors:

• Severity of injuries
• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost income and earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Degree of defendant’s negligence
• Insurance coverage available

Trucking companies carry higher insurance ($750,000 minimum, often $1-5 million), allowing for larger recoveries than typical car accidents. We’ve seen verdicts ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions.

What if my loved one was killed in a trucking accident in Borden County?

Texas allows wrongful death claims by surviving family members. You may recover:

• Lost future income
• Loss of companionship and guidance
• Mental anguish
• Funeral expenses
• Punitive damages if gross negligence

Time limits apply – contact us immediately to protect your rights.

How long do I have to file an 18-wheeler accident lawsuit in Borden County?

The statute of limitations in Texas is 2 years from the date of the accident. However, you should never wait. Evidence disappears quickly in trucking cases. The sooner you contact us, the stronger your case will be.

How long do trucking accident cases take to resolve?

Timelines vary:

• Simple cases with clear liability: 6-12 months
• Complex cases with multiple parties: 1-3 years
• Cases that go to trial: 2-4 years

We work to resolve cases as quickly as possible while maximizing your recovery.

Will my trucking accident case go to trial?

Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies know which lawyers are willing to go to court – and they offer better settlements to clients with trial-ready attorneys. We have the resources and experience to take your case all the way if necessary.

Do I need to pay anything upfront to hire your firm?

NO. We work on contingency – you pay nothing unless we win your case. We advance all costs of investigation and litigation. You never receive a bill from us. When we win, our fee comes from the recovery, not your pocket.

How much insurance do trucking companies carry?

Federal law requires minimum liability coverage:

• $750,000 for non-hazardous freight
• $1,000,000 for oil, large equipment
• $5,000,000 for hazardous materials

Many carriers carry $1-5 million or more. This higher coverage means catastrophic injuries can actually be compensated.

What if multiple insurance policies apply to my accident?

Trucking cases often involve multiple policies:

• Motor carrier’s liability policy
• Trailer interchange coverage
• Cargo insurance
• Owner-operator’s policy
• Excess/umbrella coverage

We identify all available coverage to maximize your recovery.

Will the trucking company’s insurance try to settle quickly?

Often yes – and that’s a red flag. Quick settlement offers are designed to pay you far less than your case is worth before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Never accept any settlement without consulting an experienced trucking accident attorney first.
