Why Rowlett Truck Accidents Are Different

Rowlett sits at the crossroads of major Texas trucking corridors. From the President George Bush Turnpike to I-30, our highways see heavy commercial traffic daily. The distribution centers along Lake Ray Hubbard and the industrial parks near Dalrock Road mean more trucks on our roads than ever before.

We know Rowlett’s trucking landscape:

The dangerous merge areas on President George Bush Turnpike
The high-speed truck traffic on I-30 between Dallas and Rockwall
The local delivery routes through Rowlett’s neighborhoods
The distribution centers where drivers may be pushed to violate hours-of-service rules
The weigh stations where truck safety violations are documented

This local knowledge, combined with our deep understanding of FMCSA regulations, gives us an advantage when building your case.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Rowlett

Fatigued Driving and Hours of Service Violations

Truck drivers in Rowlett often face pressure to meet tight delivery deadlines. The distribution hubs near our city mean drivers may be pushed to violate federal hours-of-service regulations. FMCSA rules limit drivers to:

11 hours of driving after 10 consecutive hours off duty
No driving beyond the 14th consecutive hour on duty
A 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving
60/70-hour weekly limits

When drivers violate these rules, they become dangerously fatigued. Fatigued driving causes approximately 31% of fatal truck crashes. We obtain ELD (Electronic Logging Device) records to prove when drivers exceeded their legal driving limits.

Improper Maintenance and Brake Failures

The long hauls through Texas take a toll on truck equipment. Brake problems are a factor in approximately 29% of large truck crashes. Common maintenance failures we see in Rowlett truck accidents include:

Worn brake pads or shoes
Improper brake adjustment
Air brake system leaks
Overheated brakes on long descents
Deferred maintenance to save costs

We subpoena maintenance records to prove when trucking companies failed to keep their vehicles in safe condition.

Distracted Driving

With the proliferation of in-cab technology, distracted driving has become a major issue. Federal regulations prohibit truck drivers from:

Using hand-held mobile phones while driving
Texting while driving
Reaching for mobile phones in a manner that requires leaving the seated position

We obtain cell phone records to prove when drivers were distracted at the time of the accident.

Improper Cargo Loading

Improperly loaded or secured cargo can cause trucks to become unstable. Cargo securement violations are among the top 10 most common FMCSA violations. Common issues include:

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

We investigate cargo loading procedures and securement methods to identify negligence.

Speeding and Aggressive Driving

The high-speed corridors around Rowlett create dangerous conditions when truck drivers exceed speed limits or drive aggressively. ECM (Engine Control Module) data can reveal:

Excessive speed before impact
Hard braking events
Rapid acceleration patterns

This data provides objective evidence of unsafe driving behavior.

Types of Truck Accidents We Handle in Rowlett

Jackknife Accidents

Jackknife accidents occur when the trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab, often blocking multiple lanes of traffic. These are particularly dangerous on I-30 where high speeds and heavy traffic create ideal conditions for catastrophic pileups.

Underride Collisions

Underride collisions happen when a smaller vehicle slides underneath the trailer of an 18-wheeler. These are among the most deadly types of truck accidents, often resulting in decapitation or catastrophic head injuries. We’ve seen these tragic accidents occur at intersections along Dalrock Road and other high-traffic areas in Rowlett.

Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents occur when an 18-wheeler tips onto its side or roof. These are common on the curved sections of President George Bush Turnpike and when trucks take exit ramps too quickly. Improperly loaded cargo often contributes to these accidents.

Rear-End Collisions

Due to their massive weight, 18-wheelers require significantly longer stopping distances than passenger vehicles. A fully loaded truck traveling at 65 mph needs approximately 525 feet to stop – nearly two football fields. When truck drivers follow too closely or fail to maintain their brakes, rear-end collisions can cause devastating injuries.

Wide Turn Accidents (“Squeeze Play”)

Wide turn accidents happen when an 18-wheeler swings wide before making a right turn, creating a gap that other vehicles enter. The truck then completes its turn, crushing the vehicle in the gap. We see these accidents frequently at the intersections along Rowlett Road and Main Street.

Blind Spot Accidents (“No-Zone”)

Trucks have significant blind spots, particularly on the right side. When truck drivers fail to check their mirrors before changing lanes, they can sideswipe vehicles in their blind spots. These accidents are common on multi-lane highways like I-30.

Tire Blowout Accidents

Tire blowouts can cause truck drivers to lose control. The extreme heat in Texas summers makes tire blowouts more common. When blowouts occur at high speeds on I-30 or President George Bush Turnpike, the results can be catastrophic.

Brake Failure Accidents

Brake failures cause approximately 29% of large truck crashes. When brake systems fail, truck drivers cannot stop in time to avoid collisions. These accidents often occur on the long descents approaching Lake Ray Hubbard.

Who Can Be Held Liable in Your Rowlett Truck Accident

Unlike typical car accidents, trucking accidents often involve multiple liable parties. We investigate every possible defendant to maximize your recovery:

Negligent training – inadequate safety training
Negligent supervision – failing to monitor driver performance

Catastrophic Injuries from Rowlett Truck Accidents

The physics of 18-wheeler accidents make catastrophic injuries the norm, not the exception. A fully loaded truck can weigh 20-25 times more than a passenger vehicle. The impact forces are devastating.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

TBI occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. In truck accidents, the extreme forces cause the brain to impact the inside of the skull.

Severity Levels:

Mild (Concussion): Confusion, headache, brief loss of consciousness
Moderate: Extended unconsciousness, memory problems, cognitive deficits
Severe: Extended coma, permanent cognitive impairment

Lifetime Care Costs: $85,000 to $3,000,000+ depending on severity

Spinal Cord Injury and Paralysis

Damage to the spinal cord disrupts communication between the brain and body, often resulting in paralysis.

Types:

Paraplegia: Loss of function below the waist
Quadriplegia: Loss of function in all four limbs

Lifetime Care Costs:

Paraplegia: $1.1 million to $2.5 million+
Quadriplegia: $3.5 million to $5 million+

Amputation

Traumatic amputation occurs when a limb is severed at the scene due to crash forces. Surgical amputation may be required when a limb is so severely damaged it must be removed.

Ongoing Medical Needs:

Prosthetic limbs ($5,000 – $50,000+ each)
Physical and occupational therapy
Psychological counseling

Severe Burns

Burns occur from:

Fuel tank ruptures and fires
Hazmat cargo spills
Electrical fires
Friction burns from road contact

Burn Classification:

First Degree: Epidermis only

Frequently Asked Questions About Rowlett Truck Accidents

What should I do immediately after a truck accident in Rowlett?

If you’ve been in a trucking accident in Rowlett, 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. Rowlett’s medical facilities, including Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Lake Pointe, 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?

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 a Rowlett truck accident attorney?

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 a truck accident in Rowlett?

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 as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. 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 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 an airplane’s black box but for trucks. This data can show:

Speed before and during the crash
Brake application timing
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 Rowlett 18-wheeler accidents?

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 Rowlett?

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 Rowlett?

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 a truck accident lawsuit in Rowlett?

The statute of limitations in Texas is 2 years for personal injury and wrongful death claims. 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.
