Fatal 18-Wheeler and Tractor-Trailer Crashes in Selma, Texas: What Families Need to Know You’re reading this because someone you love didn’t come home from one of Selma’s roads. Maybe it was I-35 near the interchange with FM 1103, where the morning commuter traffic mixes with long-haul freight headed to San Antonio. Maybe it was FM 482, where oilfield service trucks move between well sites in the Eagle Ford Shale. Or maybe it was the stretch of I-10 near the Guadalupe River Bridge, where tankers and flatbeds carry the industrial freight that fuels Texas. A fully loaded 18-wheeler weighs up to 80,000 pounds. When that much mass collides with a passenger vehicle at highway speed, the physics don’t leave time for reaction. The crash that took your loved one wasn’t an accident—it was a closing-speed event that Texas law gives you exactly two years to address under Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003. That clock started the day of the crash, not the day of the funeral, not the day the autopsy report was finalized, not the day you felt ready to think about a lawyer. The carrier whose driver caused this has lawyers who started working the case the…

Schertz Truck Accident Lawyer: Holding Negligent Trucking Companies Accountable You're reading this because someone you love didn't come home from one of Schertz's roads. Maybe it was I-35 near the FM 3009 interchange, where tractor-trailers move between San Antonio and Austin at all hours. Maybe it was FM 78, where local traffic mixes with heavy commercial vehicles serving the region's distribution centers. Maybe it was a quiet residential street where an Amazon delivery van or Sysco foodservice truck was making its rounds. Wherever it happened in Schertz, the crash that changed your family's life was no accident—it was the result of a trucking company's decision to cut corners on safety, training, or maintenance. We know the roads through Schertz because we drive them too. We know the freight patterns because we've spent 27 years holding the carriers accountable when those patterns produce tragedy. We know the courts where your case will be filed—Comal County District Court, where juries understand the human cost of commercial negligence. And we know the federal regulations the trucking company was supposed to follow, because Lupe Peña used to work for the insurance companies that ignore them.

Fatal 18-Wheeler and Tractor-Trailer Accidents in Lytle, Texas: What Families Need to Know You’re reading this because someone you love didn’t come home from one of Lytle’s roads. Maybe it was FM 471 near the high school, maybe it was I-35 as it passes through Medina County, or maybe it was one of the rural routes where oilfield service trucks and long-haul semis share the pavement with local traffic. Wherever it happened, an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer changed everything for your family in a corridor most people in Lytle drive every day without thinking about the physics of what happens when something goes wrong at highway speed. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 has already started a clock that doesn’t stop while you grieve. You have exactly two years from the date of the fatal injury to file a wrongful-death action under Section 71.001. That clock runs whether or not the carrier’s insurer is returning calls, whether or not the police report is finalized, whether or not you’ve had time to process what happened. Under Section 71.004, you—as the surviving spouse, child, or parent—hold an independent statutory claim. So does your loved one’s estate, under Section 71.021, for the conscious…

Fatal 18-Wheeler & Tractor-Trailer Crashes in Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas: What Families Need to Know You are reading this because someone you love did not come home from a road that everyone in Fair Oaks Ranch drives every day. A fully loaded 18-wheeler—80,000 pounds of steel, diesel, and cargo—changed everything for your family on a corridor most people take for granted. The crash happened. The truck was there. Now there are medical bills, funeral arrangements, and an insurance adjuster calling from a call center in Dallas or Phoenix who has never driven I-10 through Boerne, never seen the FM 3009 intersection where the crash occurred, and certainly doesn’t know that your loved one was on their way to work at the HEB distribution center in New Braunfels when it happened. We know what comes next. The carrier’s lawyers started working the night of the wreck. The evidence—the electronic logging device (ELD), the dashcam footage, the maintenance records—is disappearing every day the carrier controls it. Texas law gives you two years from the date of the fatal injury to file a wrongful-death action under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.001. That clock started ticking the moment the crash happened—whether…

Fatal 18-Wheeler and Tractor-Trailer Crashes in Windcrest, Texas: What Families Need to Know You’re reading this because someone you love didn’t come home from a road most people in Windcrest drive every day without thinking about it. Interstate 35 cuts through Bexar County like a freight artery, carrying everything from Amazon delivery trucks to oilfield equipment between San Antonio and Austin. When an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer loses control on I-35 near the Windcrest exits, the physics don’t leave time for the driver of a passenger vehicle to react. A semi-truck crash at highway speeds isn’t a fender-bender—it’s a closing-speed event that frequently produces fatalities and life-changing injuries. We’ve represented families in Windcrest, San Antonio, and across Bexar County for more than twenty-four years. We know the corridors—the I-35 interchange at Loop 410, the I-10 stretch near the AT&T Center, the US-281 corridor where commercial traffic mixes with local commuters. We know the carriers—Walmart’s private fleet, Sysco’s foodservice trucks, the Amazon Delivery Service Partner vans that run residential routes through Windcrest neighborhoods. We know the trauma network—University Hospital in San Antonio is the Level I trauma center serving Windcrest, with an average EMS response time of 8 minutes for crashes on the…

Fatal 18-Wheeler and Tractor-Trailer Crashes in Von Ormy, Texas: What Families Need to Know You’re reading this because someone you love didn’t come home from the roads around Von Ormy. Maybe it was Interstate 35, where long-haul semis run between San Antonio and the Hill Country. Maybe it was Loop 1604, where local traffic mixes with tankers and gravel trucks heading to construction sites. Or maybe it was US Highway 90, the old freight route that cuts through town, where speed limits drop suddenly and drivers don’t always slow down in time. Whatever corridor it happened on, one thing is certain: an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer changed everything for your family in an instant. And now, the legal system is already running clocks you may not even know about. Texas law gives you two years from the date of the fatal injury to file a wrongful-death claim under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.001. That clock doesn’t pause for grief, for funerals, or for the carrier’s insurance adjuster to return your calls. Under § 71.004, you—as the surviving spouse, child, or parent—hold an independent claim for the loss. Your loved one’s estate also has a separate survival action under §…

Fatal 18-Wheeler & Tractor-Trailer Accidents in Universal City, Texas: What Families Need to Know You’re reading this because someone you love didn’t come home. A fully loaded 18-wheeler—80,000 pounds of steel and cargo moving at highway speed—changed everything on a roadway most people in Universal City drive every day without thinking about it. Maybe it was on Interstate 35, where long-haul freight from Laredo and San Antonio merges with local traffic near the Randolph Air Force Base interchange. Maybe it was on Pat Booker Road, where delivery trucks and commercial fleets navigate the stretch between The Forum shopping center and the Universal City Library. Or maybe it was on FM 78, the rural route connecting Universal City to Cibolo and Schertz, where oilfield service vehicles and gravel haulers share the road with families heading to Retama Park or Natural Bridge Caverns. Wherever it happened, the crash wasn’t just another statistic in the Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS)—it was your family’s life, rewritten in an instant. And while you’re still processing what happened, the law has already started a clock that doesn’t stop for grief. The Reality of a Fatal 18-Wheeler Crash in Universal City, Texas Universal…

Fatal 18-Wheeler and Tractor-Trailer Crashes in Terrell Hills: What Families Need to Know The stretch of Loop 1604 and US Highway 281 that runs through Terrell Hills and the greater San Antonio area carries some of the heaviest commercial freight traffic in Texas. Every day, fully loaded 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, and semi-trucks transit these corridors—hauling everything from consumer goods to hazardous materials—while families in Terrell Hills drive the same roads to work, school, and home. When one of these massive commercial vehicles is involved in a catastrophic crash, the consequences are devastating. If you’re reading this because someone you love was killed in a trucking accident on Loop 1604, US 281, I-10, or any other roadway in Bexar County, we want you to know: you are not alone, and Texas law gives you a clear path to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Fatal 18-Wheeler and Tractor-Trailer Crashes in Somerset, Texas You are reading this because someone you love did not come home from a road most people in Somerset drive every day without thinking about it. A fully loaded eighteen-wheeler changed everything for your family on a corridor that carries the freight that makes Bexar County work. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 has already started a clock that does not stop while you grieve. You have two years from the date of the fatal injury to file a wrongful-death action under Section 71.001. Under Section 71.004, you— as the surviving spouse, surviving child, or surviving parent— hold an independent statutory claim. So does your loved one’s estate, under Section 71.021, for the conscious pain and mental anguish suffered between injury and death. The carrier whose driver killed your family member has lawyers who have been working since the night of the crash. The longer you wait, the more evidence the carrier controls— the electronic logging device under 49 C.F.R.

Fatal 18-Wheeler and Tractor-Trailer Crashes in Shavano Park: What Every Family Needs to Know You are reading this because someone you love did not come home from a roadway most families in Shavano Park drive every day without thinking about it. A fully loaded eighteen-wheeler traveling at highway speed carries physics that leave no time for a passenger vehicle to react—no margin for error, no second chance. When that collision happens on the corridors that connect Shavano Park to the rest of Bexar County and beyond, the consequences reach far beyond the crash scene. The trauma center at University Hospital in San Antonio, the burn unit at Brooke Army Medical Center, and the Level I trauma teams at Methodist Hospital are where Shavano Park families learn the full extent of what happened. And while the medical teams work to save lives, the legal clock under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 has already started ticking—a two-year window from the date of the fatal injury to file a wrongful-death action that does not pause for grief, for funerals, or for the carrier’s insurance adjuster to return your calls.
