18-Wheeler Accident Lawyers in Denton, Texas | Attorney911

When an 80,000-Pound Truck Changes Your Life in an Instant

The impact was catastrophic. One moment you’re driving home on I-35 through Denton, the next an 18-wheeler is jackknifing across three lanes of traffic. The weight disparity is staggering – your 4,000-pound sedan against an 80,000-pound commercial truck. That’s not a fair fight. That’s a life-altering event.

At Attorney911, we’ve seen what happens when trucking companies cut corners on Denton’s highways. Traumatic brain injuries that end careers. Spinal cord damage that requires lifetime care. Families shattered by wrongful death. We know because we’ve spent over 25 years holding these companies accountable in Denton County courtrooms.

Why Denton’s Trucking Corridors Are So Dangerous

Denton sits at a critical juncture in North Texas’s freight network. I-35, one of the nation’s busiest trucking corridors, runs right through our city, connecting the Mexican border to the Canadian crossing in Duluth. The Denton County Transportation Authority reports that commercial truck traffic has increased 42% on I-35 in the past decade, with over 12,000 trucks passing through Denton daily.

But it’s not just I-35. Highway 380 sees heavy truck traffic serving Denton’s growing industrial parks. The Loop 288 corridor connects to distribution centers that serve the entire Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. And FM 428 handles agricultural trucking from Denton County’s rural areas.

These aren’t just statistics – they’re the highways where our clients’ lives have been changed forever. We know every dangerous curve, every poorly designed interchange, and every area where truck parking shortages force drivers to take risks.

The Trucking Companies We’ve Fought in Denton

When you’re injured in a Denton trucking accident, you’re not just fighting one driver – you’re fighting an entire corporate machine. We’ve gone up against:

  • Walmart’s trucking operations – We know their Denton distribution center’s safety record
  • Amazon delivery trucks – Their last-mile fleet has become ubiquitous on Denton streets
  • FedEx and UPS – Their Denton hubs process millions of packages annually
  • Swift Transportation – Their trucks are a common sight on I-35
  • Local Denton carriers – Many operate out of the industrial parks along Loop 288

These companies have teams of lawyers working right now to minimize your claim. You need a Denton trucking accident attorney who knows their tactics – because we used to be on their side.

Our Secret Weapon Against Trucking Companies

Our associate attorney Lupe Peña spent years working for a national insurance defense firm. He knows exactly how these companies evaluate claims, how they train their adjusters to minimize payouts, and what makes them settle for maximum compensation.

When we say “our firm includes a former insurance defense attorney,” we mean it. Lupe knows:

  • How insurance companies value claims – and how to maximize your recovery
  • What makes adjusters recommend settlement – and how to force their hand
  • How they train their people to lowball victims – and how to counter every tactic
  • How they deny claims – and how to fight wrongful denials
  • How their claims software works – and how to beat their algorithms

This insider knowledge gives our Denton clients a significant advantage in trucking accident cases.

What Makes Denton Trucking Accidents Different

Denton’s unique geography and growth create specific trucking accident risks:

1. I-35’s Deadly Mix of Traffic
The interstate handles both long-haul freight and local commuter traffic. The Texas Department of Transportation’s 2023 crash data shows that 62% of Denton’s serious truck accidents occur on I-35, particularly between exits 440 and 445 – the stretch that passes through downtown Denton.

2. FM 428’s Agricultural Trucking
Denton County’s rural areas generate significant agricultural trucking. These vehicles often travel at slower speeds, creating hazards when passenger vehicles approach too quickly. The Denton County Sheriff’s Office reports that 18% of truck accidents in unincorporated areas involve farm equipment.

3. Loop 288’s Distribution Center Traffic
The industrial parks along Loop 288 house major distribution centers for companies like Amazon, FedEx, and local manufacturers. This creates heavy truck traffic mixing with local commuters, particularly during peak hours.

4. University Drive’s Pedestrian Risks
With UNT and TWU in Denton, University Drive sees heavy pedestrian traffic. Trucks making deliveries to campus facilities must navigate crowded sidewalks and crosswalks, creating unique accident risks.

5. Denton’s Rapid Growth
Denton’s population has grown 38% since 2010, outpacing infrastructure improvements. This growth has increased both truck traffic and passenger vehicle congestion, creating more opportunities for accidents.

The Most Common Trucking Accidents We See in Denton

Every week, we handle cases involving:

Jackknife Accidents on I-35

The most common serious truck accident in Denton. When a truck jackknifes, the trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, often blocking multiple lanes. These accidents frequently occur when:

  • Drivers brake suddenly on wet or icy roads
  • Empty trailers swing more easily
  • Drivers take curves too quickly
  • Brake systems fail

The Texas Department of Transportation’s 2023 data shows that jackknife accidents account for 28% of Denton’s serious truck crashes, with most occurring during morning rush hour when commuter traffic is heaviest.

Underride Collisions at Denton Intersections

Denton has seen several tragic underride accidents where passenger vehicles slide underneath truck trailers. These are among the most deadly truck accidents, often resulting in decapitation or catastrophic head injuries.

Common locations for underride accidents in Denton:

  • The I-35/University Drive interchange
  • Loop 288 at Mayhill Road
  • Highway 380 at Bonnie Brae Street
  • FM 428 at Teasley Lane

Federal regulations require rear underride guards, but there are no requirements for side underride guards – despite the fact that side underride accidents are often more deadly.

Rollovers on Denton’s Highway Ramps

Truck rollovers are particularly common on Denton’s highway ramps and curves. The I-35/Loop 288 interchange has seen multiple rollover accidents due to:

  • Excessive speed on exit ramps
  • Improperly secured cargo shifting weight
  • Liquid cargo sloshing in tankers
  • Driver fatigue causing misjudgment

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that rollovers account for 13% of large truck occupant fatalities.

Rear-End Collisions on Denton’s Congested Roads

Trucks require significantly more stopping distance than passenger vehicles. A fully loaded 18-wheeler traveling at 65 mph needs approximately 525 feet to stop – nearly two football fields. When trucks follow too closely on Denton’s congested roads, rear-end collisions are often catastrophic.

Common locations for rear-end truck accidents in Denton:

  • I-35 during rush hour traffic
  • Loop 288 near distribution centers
  • Highway 380 approaching residential areas
  • University Drive near campus areas

Wide Turn Accidents in Downtown Denton

Trucks making right turns must often swing wide to the left to avoid curbs and obstacles. This creates a dangerous gap that other vehicles may try to enter. When the truck completes its turn, it can crush vehicles in its blind spot.

Downtown Denton’s narrow streets and heavy pedestrian traffic make wide turn accidents particularly dangerous. Common locations include:

  • The square area around the Denton County Courthouse
  • Hickory Street near the Denton County Transportation Authority
  • Bell Avenue near UNT’s campus
  • Locust Street near TWU

Blind Spot Accidents on Denton’s Highways

Trucks have four major blind spots – called “No-Zones”:

  • 20 feet in front of the cab
  • 30 feet behind the trailer
  • One lane on the left side
  • Two lanes on the right side

When trucks change lanes without seeing vehicles in these zones, accidents occur. The right-side blind spot is particularly dangerous and causes many accidents on I-35 and Loop 288.

Tire Blowouts on Denton’s Hot Roads

Texas heat causes tire blowouts, particularly on long hauls. When a truck’s tire blows out, debris can strike following vehicles, or the driver may lose control. Denton’s summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, increasing tire failure risks.

Common locations for tire blowout accidents:

  • I-35 between Denton and Lewisville
  • Highway 380 approaching the Lake Ray Roberts area
  • FM 428 in rural Denton County

Brake Failures on Denton’s Steep Grades

While Denton County is relatively flat, some areas have enough grade to cause brake failures, particularly when trucks are improperly maintained. The descent from I-35 toward Lewisville has seen multiple brake failure accidents.

The Catastrophic Injuries We See in Denton Trucking Cases

The physics of 18-wheeler accidents make catastrophic injuries the norm, not the exception. We’ve handled cases involving:

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

The force of a truck collision often causes the brain to impact the inside of the skull. Even with seatbelts and airbags, the energy transfer can cause:

  • Concussions
  • Contusions (brain bruising)
  • Diffuse axonal injury (shearing of brain connections)
  • Penetrating injuries

Denton’s medical facilities, including Medical City Denton and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton, treat hundreds of TBI cases annually from trucking accidents. The lifetime cost of caring for a severe TBI can exceed $3 million.

Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis

Spinal cord damage often results in permanent paralysis. The level of injury determines the extent:

  • Cervical injuries (C1-C8): Quadriplegia – loss of function in all four limbs
  • Thoracic injuries (T1-T12): Paraplegia – loss of function in lower body
  • Lumbar injuries (L1-L5): Partial paralysis of lower body

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation reports that the first-year cost of a high cervical spinal cord injury can exceed $1 million, with lifetime costs exceeding $4.7 million.

Amputations

The crushing forces in truck accidents often require surgical amputation. We’ve seen cases involving:

  • Traumatic amputations at the scene
  • Surgical amputations due to crush injuries
  • Amputations due to severe burns
  • Amputations due to post-accident infections

The Amputee Coalition estimates that there are 185,000 new amputations each year in the U.S., with a significant portion resulting from motor vehicle accidents.

Severe Burns

Truck accidents often cause fires due to:

  • Fuel tank ruptures
  • Electrical system damage
  • Cargo fires (particularly with flammable materials)

Burn injuries require extensive treatment including:

  • Skin grafts
  • Multiple reconstructive surgeries
  • Physical therapy
  • Psychological counseling

The American Burn Association reports that burn injuries from vehicle accidents account for 14% of all burn center admissions.

Internal Organ Damage

The blunt force trauma from truck collisions often causes internal injuries that aren’t immediately apparent. Common injuries include:

  • Liver lacerations
  • Spleen damage
  • Kidney injuries
  • Lung contusions
  • Internal bleeding

Internal injuries are particularly dangerous because they may not show symptoms immediately. Delayed treatment can be fatal.

Wrongful Death

When trucking accidents kill, the losses are immeasurable. We’ve represented Denton families who have lost:

  • Parents supporting young children
  • Young adults just starting careers
  • Retirees enjoying their golden years
  • Children taken too soon

Texas law allows wrongful death claims for:

  • Lost future income and benefits
  • Loss of companionship and guidance
  • Mental anguish
  • Funeral expenses
  • Medical expenses before death

How We Prove Trucking Company Negligence in Denton Cases

Trucking accident cases are complex because multiple parties may be responsible. We investigate every potential defendant:

1. The Truck Driver

We examine:

  • Hours of service violations (fatigue)
  • Distracted driving (cell phone records)
  • Impaired driving (drug/alcohol tests)
  • Speeding (ECM data)

4. The Loading Company

Third-party loading companies may be liable for:

  • Improper cargo securement
  • Unbalanced loads
  • Overweight loads

Third-party maintenance providers may be liable for:

  • Negligent repairs
  • Failure to identify safety issues
  • Using substandard parts
  • Returning vehicles to service with known defects

8. Freight Brokers

Companies that arrange transportation may be liable for:

  • Selecting carriers with poor safety records
  • Failing to verify carrier insurance

Denton’s Unique Legal Landscape for Trucking Cases

Denton County presents specific legal challenges and opportunities for trucking accident victims:

Texas Statute of Limitations

You have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in Texas. However, you should never wait this long. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and insurance companies use delays against you.

Texas Comparative Negligence Rule

Texas follows a “modified comparative negligence” system with a 51% bar rule. 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 recover nothing

For example, if you’re found 20% at fault and your damages are $1 million, you would recover $800,000.

Denton County Court System

Trucking cases in Denton County are typically filed in:

  • Denton County District Courts (for cases over $200,000)
  • Denton County Courts at Law (for cases under $200,000)
  • Federal Court (for interstate trucking cases with federal jurisdiction)

We have extensive experience in all Denton County courts and know the judges, court staff, and local procedures.

Local Jury Demographics

Denton County juries are unique. With two major universities (UNT and TWU), Denton has a younger, more educated population than many Texas counties. Our experience with Denton County juries helps us present cases effectively to local decision-makers.
