18-Wheeler Accidents in Coryell County: Your Complete Guide to Justice and Compensation

If you or a loved one has been involved in an 18-wheeler accident in Coryell County, you’re facing one of the most complex and dangerous situations on Texas roads. The aftermath can be overwhelming—medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the uncertainty of what comes next. At Attorney911, we’ve been fighting for trucking accident victims across Texas for over 25 years, and we know exactly how to hold negligent trucking companies accountable.

Why Coryell County Trucking Accidents Are Different

Coryell County’s unique geography and trucking corridors create specific risks that drivers face every day. The county is served by major highways including US-84, which connects to I-35—the primary NAFTA corridor and one of the busiest trucking routes in America. This means:

• Heavy truck traffic carrying goods between Mexico, Texas, and the Midwest
• Long-haul drivers who may be fatigued from cross-country trips
• Distribution centers in nearby cities that generate significant truck movements
• Rural road challenges where trucks and passenger vehicles share narrow lanes
• Weather factors including sudden thunderstorms that create hazardous conditions

Our team understands Coryell County’s trucking landscape. We know the local courts, the common accident locations, and how to navigate cases involving Coryell County residents and visitors alike.

The Devastating Reality of 18-Wheeler Accidents

Every year in Texas, thousands of lives are changed forever by trucking accidents. The statistics are sobering:

• 5,100+ fatalities annually from large truck crashes in the U.S.
• 125,000+ injuries requiring medical attention
• 76% of fatalities are occupants of the smaller vehicle
• Trucks are 20-25 times heavier than passenger vehicles
• Stopping distance of 525 feet at 65 mph—nearly two football fields

In Coryell County, these accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and speed of commercial trucks on our highways. Common injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) that can cause permanent cognitive impairment
• Spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis or lifelong disability
• Amputations from crushing injuries or medical necessity
• Severe burns from fuel fires or hazardous cargo spills
• Internal organ damage requiring emergency surgery
• Wrongful death of loved ones in fatal crashes

“They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”

Common Causes of Trucking Accidents in Coryell County

Understanding why these accidents happen is crucial to building a strong case. In our experience handling Coryell County trucking cases, we frequently find:

1. Driver Fatigue and Hours of Service Violations

Federal regulations limit truck drivers to:

• 11 hours of driving after 10 consecutive hours off duty
• 14-hour duty window maximum
• 30-minute break required after 8 hours of driving
• 60/70-hour weekly limits with 34-hour restart

Despite these rules, we often find drivers violating these limits due to pressure from trucking companies. Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) now provide objective evidence of these violations, which we obtain through immediate legal action.

2. Improper Maintenance and Equipment Failures

Brake failures, tire blowouts, and other mechanical issues cause thousands of accidents annually. Federal regulations (49 CFR § 396) require systematic inspection and maintenance, but many trucking companies cut corners to save costs. Common issues we investigate:

• Brake system failures (29% of truck accidents involve brake problems)
• Tire blowouts from underinflation or wear
• Lighting and visibility issues that make trucks hard to see
• Coupling device failures that cause trailers to detach

3. Improper Cargo Loading and Securement

When cargo isn’t properly secured, it can shift during transit, causing rollovers or spills. Federal regulations (49 CFR § 393.100-136) specify how cargo must be secured to withstand:

• 0.8g deceleration (sudden stops)
• 0.5g acceleration (starting or speeding up)
• 0.5g lateral forces (turning or lane changes)

We’ve seen cases where improperly secured cargo has caused catastrophic accidents on US-84 and other Coryell County roads.

4. Distracted and Impaired Driving

Despite federal prohibitions (49 CFR § 392.82), we frequently find evidence of:

• Cell phone use (texting, calling, GPS)
• Dispatch communications that distract drivers
• Drug and alcohol use (even prescription medications can impair driving)
• Fatigue-related distraction from sleep deprivation

5. Speeding and Reckless Driving

Trucks require significantly more time to stop than passenger vehicles. When drivers exceed speed limits or drive too fast for conditions (49 CFR § 392.6), the results can be deadly. This is particularly dangerous on rural Coryell County roads where speed limits may change suddenly.

6. Blind Spot and Visibility Issues

Commercial trucks have massive blind spots, known as “No-Zones”:

• Front No-Zone: 20 feet in front of the cab
• Rear No-Zone: 30 feet behind the trailer
• Left Side No-Zone: Extends from the cab door backward
• Right Side No-Zone: The largest blind spot, extending from the cab door backward

Many accidents occur when truck drivers change lanes without seeing vehicles in these blind spots.

7. Wide Turn Accidents (“Squeeze Play”)

Trucks need significant space to make turns, especially right turns. Drivers often swing wide to the left before turning right, creating a gap that other vehicles may enter. When the truck completes the turn, it can crush vehicles in this gap.

The Trucking Company’s Playbook: What They Don’t Want You to Know

After an accident, trucking companies activate rapid-response teams to protect their interests—not yours. Here’s what they do and how we counter it:

Who Can Be Held Liable in Your Coryell County Trucking Case?

Unlike car accidents where typically only one driver is at fault, trucking accidents often involve multiple liable parties. We investigate all potential defendants to maximize your recovery:

1. The Truck Driver: For negligent operation (speeding, fatigue, distraction, etc.)
2. The Trucking Company: For vicarious liability and direct negligence
3. The Cargo Owner/Shipper: For improper loading or hazardous cargo
4. The Loading Company: For improper cargo securement
5. The Truck/Trailer Manufacturer: For defective design or manufacturing
6. Parts Manufacturers: For defective components (brakes, tires, etc.)
7. Maintenance Companies: For negligent repairs or inspections
8. Freight Brokers: For negligent carrier selection
9. Government Entities: For dangerous road conditions (rare but possible)

Common Trucking Accident Scenarios in Coryell County

1. Jackknife Accidents on US-84

Jackknife accidents occur when the trailer and cab skid in opposite directions, often sweeping across multiple lanes of traffic. These are common on US-84, especially during sudden weather changes or when drivers brake improperly.

Causes:

• Sudden braking on wet or icy roads
• Speeding on curves
• Empty or lightly loaded trailers
• Brake system failures
• Driver inexperience

Evidence We Look For:

• Skid mark patterns showing trailer angle
• Brake inspection records
• Weather conditions at time of accident
• ELD data showing speed before braking

2. Rollover Accidents on Rural Roads

Rollover accidents are particularly dangerous in rural Coryell County where roads may have sudden curves or elevation changes. These often result in catastrophic injuries when the trailer tips onto passenger vehicles.

Causes:

• Speeding on curves or ramps
• Improperly secured cargo
• Liquid cargo “slosh” shifting weight
• Overcorrection after tire blowout
• Road design defects

Evidence We Look For:

• ECM data showing speed through curve
• Cargo manifest and securement documentation
• Load distribution records
• Road geometry and signage analysis

3. Underride Collisions at Intersections

Underride collisions occur when a vehicle slides underneath a trailer, often resulting in decapitation or catastrophic head injuries. These are among the most deadly trucking accidents.

Causes:

• Inadequate or missing underride guards
• Sudden stops without warning
• Poor visibility conditions
• Wide right turns cutting off traffic
• Inadequate rear lighting

Evidence We Look For:

• Underride guard inspection records
• Rear lighting compliance documentation
• Crash dynamics showing underride depth
• Visibility conditions at accident scene

4. Rear-End Collisions on Highways

Due to their massive weight, 18-wheelers require significantly more stopping distance than passenger vehicles. When drivers follow too closely or fail to brake in time, rear-end collisions can be catastrophic.

Causes:

• Following too closely (tailgating)
• Driver distraction
• Driver fatigue
• Brake system failures
• Failure to anticipate traffic slowdowns

Evidence We Look For:

• ECM data showing following distance
• ELD data for fatigue analysis
• Cell phone records for distraction evidence
• Brake inspection and maintenance records

5. Wide Turn Accidents in Gatesville and Other Towns

Wide turn accidents, also known as “squeeze play” accidents, occur when trucks swing wide before making a right turn, creating a gap that other vehicles enter. When the truck completes the turn, it crushes the vehicle in the gap.

Causes:

• Failure to properly signal
• Inadequate mirror checks
• Improper turn technique
• Driver inexperience
• Poor intersection design

Evidence We Look For:

• Turn signal activation data
• Mirror condition and adjustment records
• Driver training records
• Intersection geometry analysis

6. Blind Spot Accidents on I-35 Corridor

Blind spot accidents occur when truck drivers change lanes without seeing vehicles in their No-Zones. These are particularly dangerous on the I-35 corridor where traffic density is high.

Causes:

• Failure to check mirrors before lane changes
• Improperly adjusted mirrors
• Driver distraction
• Driver fatigue
• Failure to use turn signals

Evidence We Look For:

• Mirror condition and adjustment records
• Lane change data from telematics
• Turn signal activation records
• Dashcam footage

7. Tire Blowout Accidents

Tire blowouts can cause sudden loss of control, leading to jackknife accidents, rollovers, or collisions with other vehicles. Debris from blown tires can also strike following vehicles.

Causes:

• Underinflated tires
• Overloaded vehicles
• Worn or aging tires
• Road debris
• Manufacturing defects
• Improper tire matching

Evidence We Look For:

• Tire maintenance records
• Tire age and wear documentation
• Vehicle weight records
• Failed tire for defect analysis

8. Brake Failure Accidents

Brake failures are a leading cause of trucking accidents. When brakes fail, drivers cannot stop in time to avoid collisions.

Causes:

• Worn brake pads or shoes
• Improper brake adjustment
• Air brake system leaks
• Overheated brakes (brake fade)
• Contaminated brake fluid
• Defective brake components

Evidence We Look For:

• Brake inspection and maintenance records
• Out-of-service inspection history
• ECM data showing brake application
• Post-crash brake system analysis

Frequently Asked Questions About Coryell County Trucking Accidents

1. How long do I have to file a trucking accident lawsuit in Coryell County?

Texas has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including trucking accidents. This means you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, you should never wait this long. Evidence disappears quickly, and the sooner you contact an attorney, the stronger your case will be.

2. How much is my Coryell County trucking accident case worth?

Case values vary widely depending on:

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

Trucking companies carry higher insurance limits than typical car accidents—often $750,000 to $5,000,000 or more. This means catastrophic injuries can actually be compensated. We’ve seen verdicts ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions in trucking cases.

3. Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This approach:

• Creates leverage in settlement negotiations
• Shows insurance companies we’re serious
• Ensures we’re ready if trial becomes necessary

4. What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means:

• If you were less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages
• Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault
• If you were 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover anything

Our job is to investigate thoroughly and minimize any fault attributed to you.

5. What if the trucking company claims they’re not responsible?

Trucking companies often try to avoid liability by:

• Claiming the driver was an independent contractor
• Arguing the accident was unavoidable
• Blaming the victim
• Denying negligence

We investigate all potential defendants and build strong cases to overcome these defenses.

6. How long will my case take to resolve?

Timelines vary:

• Simple cases with clear liability: 6-12 months
• Moderate cases with disputed liability: 12-24 months
• Complex cases with catastrophic injuries: 2-4 years
• Cases that go to trial: 3-5 years

We work to resolve cases as quickly as possible while ensuring you receive full compensation.

7. Do I need an attorney for a trucking accident case?

While you’re not required to have an attorney, trucking accident cases are extremely complex. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working against you. Having an experienced trucking accident attorney:

• Levels the playing field
• Ensures evidence is preserved
• Maximizes your compensation
• Handles all legal complexities
• Allows you to focus on recovery

“They solved in a couple of months what others did nothing about in two years.”
— Angel Walle, Attorney911 Client

8. What if the trucking company goes bankrupt?

Even if the trucking company goes bankrupt, other parties may still be liable:

• The driver (if independent)
• The cargo owner
• The loading company
• The maintenance company
• The truck manufacturer
• Insurance companies (policies may still be in effect)

We investigate all potential sources of compensation.

9. Can I still recover compensation if the truck driver was uninsured?

If the truck driver was uninsured, you may still have options:

• Your own uninsured motorist coverage (if you have it)
• The trucking company’s insurance (if the driver was an employee)
• Other liable parties (cargo owner, loading company, etc.)

We explore all available options to ensure you receive compensation.

10. What if I don’t have health insurance?

We can help you get the medical care you need:

• Attorney-approved doctors who treat on a lien basis
• Medical funding to cover treatment costs
• Payment from settlement to cover medical bills

You shouldn’t delay medical treatment because of insurance concerns.
