18-Wheeler Accidents in Hansford County: Your Complete Legal Guide

If you or a loved one has been injured in an 18-wheeler accident in Hansford County, you’re facing one of the most devastating experiences of your life. The aftermath of a commercial truck crash involves physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial uncertainty. At Attorney911, we understand what you’re going through, and we’re here to help you fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.

Why Hansford County Trucking Accidents Are Different

Hansford County’s unique geographic position creates specific challenges for trucking safety. Located in the Texas Panhandle, our county sits at the intersection of major trucking routes that connect the Midwest to the Southwest. The combination of long-haul truck traffic, agricultural freight, and oilfield equipment creates a high-risk environment for catastrophic accidents.

Hansford County’s Trucking Corridors: Where Accidents Happen

In Hansford County, we see trucking accidents on these critical routes:

US Highway 83: The primary north-south corridor running through Spearman and the county, connecting to Oklahoma and points north. This highway carries significant agricultural and oilfield equipment traffic.
State Highway 15: An important east-west route that intersects with US 83, carrying local and regional freight.
FM Roads and County Highways: These rural roads see heavy truck traffic from agricultural operations, grain elevators, and oilfield service companies. The mix of large trucks and local traffic creates unique hazards.
Local Distribution Centers: The grain elevators and agricultural processing facilities in Spearman and surrounding areas generate significant truck traffic, particularly during harvest seasons.

These routes experience unique challenges:

Long, straight stretches: The flat terrain encourages speeding and driver fatigue
Sudden weather changes: Panhandle weather can shift rapidly, creating hazardous conditions
Mixed traffic: Large trucks share roads with local vehicles, farm equipment, and livestock trailers
Seasonal peaks: Harvest seasons and oilfield activity create temporary spikes in truck traffic

The Devastating Reality of 18-Wheeler Accidents

When an 80,000-pound truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often catastrophic. The physics of these collisions make them fundamentally different from car accidents:

Weight Disparity: A fully loaded 18-wheeler can weigh 20-25 times more than a passenger car
Stopping Distance: At 65 mph, a truck needs approximately 525 feet to stop – nearly two football fields
Impact Force: The energy released in a truck collision is exponentially greater than in a car crash
Structural Vulnerability: Passenger vehicles offer little protection against the massive size and weight of commercial trucks

Common Catastrophic Injuries in Hansford County Trucking Accidents

The injuries we see in Hansford County trucking accidents are often life-changing:

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Can range from mild concussions to severe, permanent brain damage
Symptoms may include memory loss, cognitive impairment, personality changes, and emotional disorders
Lifetime care costs can exceed $3 million for severe cases

Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis

Can result in paraplegia (loss of function below the waist) or quadriplegia (loss of function in all four limbs)
May require lifelong medical care, home modifications, and assistive technology
Lifetime costs can range from $1.1 million to $5 million depending on severity

Amputations

Often result from crushing injuries or severe burns
Require prosthetic limbs, rehabilitation, and psychological counseling
Can prevent return to previous employment

Severe Burns

Common in fuel tank ruptures and hazmat incidents
Require multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and long-term rehabilitation
Can cause permanent disfigurement and psychological trauma

Internal Organ Damage

Liver lacerations, spleen ruptures, kidney damage, and internal bleeding
Often require emergency surgery and can be life-threatening
May lead to long-term health complications

Wrongful Death

When a trucking accident claims a life, surviving family members can pursue wrongful death claims
Available damages include lost income, loss of companionship, funeral expenses, and mental anguish
In cases of gross negligence, punitive damages may be available

Why You Need a Hansford County 18-Wheeler Accident Attorney

After a trucking accident in Hansford County, the trucking company and their insurance provider will have teams of lawyers and investigators working to protect their interests. You need someone on your side who understands:

Federal trucking regulations (FMCSA) and how violations create liability
Texas personal injury laws and how they apply to your case
Hansford County court procedures and local legal landscape
Insurance company tactics to minimize or deny your claim
The true value of your injuries and losses

At Attorney911, we have over 25 years of experience fighting for trucking accident victims across Texas. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has recovered multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts for families devastated by commercial truck crashes. We know how to hold trucking companies accountable.

Our Unique Advantage: Former Insurance Defense Attorney on Staff

Our team includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who spent years working for a national defense firm. He knows exactly how insurance companies:

Evaluate and minimize claims
Train their adjusters to lowball victims
Use recorded statements against accident victims
Delay and deny legitimate claims
Calculate pain and suffering (using software like Colossus)

Now, he uses that insider knowledge to fight FOR you, not against you.

The Most Common Causes of Trucking Accidents in Hansford County

Understanding what caused your accident is crucial to building a strong case. In Hansford County, we frequently see these causes:

Driver Fatigue: The Silent Killer on Panhandle Highways

Fatigue is one of the leading causes of trucking accidents nationwide, and Hansford County’s long-haul routes make it particularly problematic. FMCSA regulations limit driving time for a reason:

11-Hour Driving Limit: Drivers cannot drive more than 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty
14-Hour On-Duty Window: Drivers cannot drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty
30-Minute Break Requirement: Drivers must take a 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving
60/70-Hour Weekly Limits: Drivers cannot drive after 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days

Violations of these rules are rampant in the trucking industry. Drivers face pressure from carriers to meet tight deadlines, and many falsify their logs to hide violations. Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) have made this harder, but we still find violations in many cases.

How We Prove Fatigue in Hansford County Cases:

Obtaining ELD records showing hours of service violations
Reviewing dispatch logs for unrealistic delivery schedules
Analyzing ECM data for patterns of erratic driving
Checking cell phone records for evidence of extended driving
Reviewing driver qualification files for sleep apnea or other medical conditions

Distracted Driving: A Growing Problem in the Texas Panhandle

With the rise of smartphones and in-cab technology, distracted driving has become a major issue in trucking accidents:

Cell Phone Use: Texting while driving is illegal for commercial drivers (49 CFR § 392.82)
Dispatch Communications: Many trucks have onboard messaging systems that distract drivers
GPS Devices: Programming or following GPS while driving takes attention from the road
Eating and Drinking: Many drivers eat meals while driving to save time
External Distractions: Looking at billboards, accidents, or scenery

How We Prove Distraction:

Subpoenaing cell phone records
Obtaining dashcam footage
Analyzing ECM data for sudden braking or swerving
Reviewing dispatch communications

Improper Maintenance: A Recipe for Disaster

Trucking companies have a legal obligation to maintain their vehicles in safe operating condition. When they cut corners to save money, catastrophic accidents result. Common maintenance failures we see in Hansford County:

Brake Failures: Worn brake pads, improper adjustment, or air brake system leaks
Tire Blowouts: Underinflated tires, worn tread, or mismatched dual tires
Lighting Failures: Non-functioning headlights, brake lights, or turn signals
Steering Failures: Worn or damaged steering components
Coupling Device Failures: Improperly secured trailers that detach

How We Prove Maintenance Failures:

Obtaining maintenance records (or proving their absence)
Inspecting the truck post-accident
Reviewing driver vehicle inspection reports (DVIRs)
Analyzing ECM data for fault codes
Retaining accident reconstruction experts

Cargo Securement Failures: When Loads Become Deadly

Improperly secured cargo can shift during transit, causing rollovers, jackknives, or spills that create multi-vehicle accidents. FMCSA regulations (49 CFR § 393.100-136) specify detailed requirements for cargo securement, including:

Minimum number of tiedowns based on cargo length and weight
Working load limits for securement devices
Specific requirements for different types of cargo (logs, metal coils, machinery, etc.)
Requirements for blocking, bracing, and friction mats

How We Prove Cargo Securement Failures:

Inspecting the cargo and securement devices post-accident
Obtaining loading records and bills of lading
Reviewing driver training on cargo securement
Analyzing accident dynamics to determine if cargo shift caused the crash

Drug and Alcohol Violations: Zero Tolerance for Impairment

Commercial drivers are subject to strict drug and alcohol testing requirements:

Pre-employment testing is mandatory
Random testing is required (50% of drivers annually for drugs, 10% for alcohol)
Post-accident testing is required for fatal accidents and certain injury accidents
Reasonable suspicion testing can be ordered by supervisors
Return-to-duty testing is required after violations

Despite these requirements, we still encounter drivers operating under the influence. Alcohol and drug use contribute to many trucking accidents in Hansford County.

How We Prove Impairment:

Obtaining drug and alcohol test results
Reviewing driver qualification files for previous violations
Analyzing accident reconstruction reports
Interviewing witnesses about driver behavior

The Most Dangerous Types of Trucking Accidents in Hansford County

Jackknife Accidents: When Trailers Swing Out of Control

Jackknife accidents occur when the trailer swings out to the side, forming an angle with the cab like a folding pocket knife. These accidents are particularly dangerous because:

The trailer can sweep across multiple lanes of traffic
Other vehicles have little time to react
The truck may roll over, creating additional hazards
Cargo can spill onto the roadway

Common Causes in Hansford County:

Sudden braking on wet or icy roads
Speeding, especially on curves
Empty or lightly loaded trailers (more prone to swing)
Brake failures or improper brake adjustment
Driver overcorrection after running off the road

Underride Collisions: The Deadliest Trucking Accident

Underride collisions occur when a passenger vehicle slides underneath the trailer of an 18-wheeler. These accidents are often fatal because:

The trailer’s height shears off the vehicle’s roof
Occupants can be decapitated or suffer catastrophic head injuries
Airbags may not deploy properly
The vehicle’s safety systems are bypassed

Two Types of Underride Accidents:

Rear Underride: When a vehicle strikes the back of a trailer
Side Underride: When a vehicle strikes the side of a trailer during turns or lane changes

Federal Requirements:

Rear Underride Guards: Required on trailers manufactured after January 26, 1998 (49 CFR § 393.86)
No Federal Requirement for Side Underride Guards: Despite advocacy efforts, side guards are not currently required

Hansford County Underride Risks:

Poor lighting conditions on rural highways
Inadequate signage warning of wide turns
Trailers stopped on highways without proper warning devices
Wide turns at intersections in Spearman and other towns

Rollover Accidents: When Trucks Tip Over

Rollover accidents occur when a truck tips onto its side or roof. These accidents are particularly dangerous because:

They often involve multiple vehicles
Cargo can spill onto the roadway
The truck may block multiple lanes
Fuel spills can cause fires or explosions

Common Causes in Hansford County:

Speeding on curves or ramps
Taking turns too sharply
Improperly secured or unevenly distributed cargo
Liquid cargo “slosh” that shifts the center of gravity
Driver overcorrection after a tire blowout or lane departure
Road design defects on rural highways

Blind Spot Accidents: The “No-Zone” Danger

Large trucks have significant blind spots where the driver cannot see other vehicles. These “No-Zones” include:

Front No-Zone: 20 feet directly 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: Extends from the cab door backward and is much larger than the left side

Common Blind Spot Accidents in Hansford County:

Trucks changing lanes into vehicles in their blind spots
Vehicles passing trucks and getting “squeezed” off the road
Trucks turning right and striking vehicles in the right-side blind spot
Vehicles following too closely in the rear blind spot

Wide Turn Accidents: The “Squeeze Play” Danger

Trucks need to make wide turns to avoid curbs, signs, and other obstacles. This creates a dangerous situation called the “squeeze play”:

The truck swings left before making a right turn
A gap appears between the truck and the curb
A vehicle enters this gap
The truck completes its turn, crushing the vehicle

Common Locations in Hansford County:

Intersections in Spearman and other towns
Rural highway intersections
Truck stops and rest areas
Agricultural facilities with tight access points

Tire Blowout Accidents: When Rubber Meets the Road

Tire blowouts are a significant hazard in Hansford County due to:

Long stretches of highway that cause heat buildup
Heavy loads from agricultural and oilfield equipment
Road debris from farming operations
Extreme temperature variations in the Panhandle

Common Causes:

Underinflated tires
Overloaded vehicles
Worn or aging tires
Road debris punctures
Manufacturing defects
Improper tire matching on dual wheels

Resulting Accidents:

Loss of control leading to jackknives or rollovers
Debris striking following vehicles
Multi-vehicle pileups when drivers swerve to avoid debris

Brake Failure Accidents: When Trucks Can’t Stop

Brake failures cause approximately 29% of large truck crashes. In Hansford County, we see brake failures due to:

Worn brake pads or shoes not replaced
Improper brake adjustment (too loose)
Air brake system leaks or failures
Overheated brakes on long descents
Contaminated brake fluid
Defective brake components

Common Brake Failure Scenarios:

Rear-end collisions when a truck cannot stop in time
Runaway trucks on downhill grades
Loss of control when brakes fail during evasive maneuvers
Multi-vehicle pileups when a truck cannot stop at a traffic signal

Frequently Asked Questions About Hansford County Trucking Accidents

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

If you’ve been in a trucking accident in Hansford 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. Hansford Memorial Hospital in Spearman and other regional medical centers 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 Hansford County?

Document everything possible:

Truck and trailer license plates
DOT number (on the 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 Hansford 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 Hansford 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 the 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 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 for intentional destruction

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 duty
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 Hansford 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 Hansford 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 Hansford County?

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

Lost future income and benefits
Loss of consortium (companionship and guidance)
Mental anguish and emotional suffering
Funeral and burial expenses
Medical expenses before death
Pain and suffering experienced by the decedent before death
Punitive damages (in cases of 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 Hansford County?

The statute of limitations in Texas is 2 years from the accident date. 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.

What is the most common type of 18-wheeler accident in Hansford County?

The most common types we see in Hansford County include:

Rear-End Collisions: When trucks fail to stop in time, often due to following too closely or brake failures
Underride Accidents: When vehicles slide underneath trailers, often fatal
Jackknife Accidents: When trailers swing out of control, blocking multiple lanes
Rollover Accidents: When trucks tip over, often due to speeding or cargo shifts
Blind Spot Accidents: When trucks change lanes into vehicles in their “No-Zone”
Wide Turn Accidents: When trucks make wide turns and crush vehicles in the “squeeze play”
Tire Blowout Accidents: When tire failures cause loss of control
Brake Failure Accidents: When brake systems fail, preventing the truck from stopping
Cargo Spill/Shift Accidents: When improperly secured cargo causes instability or spills onto the roadway

What is a jackknife accident and why are they so dangerous?

A jackknife occurs when the trailer and cab skid in opposite directions, with the trailer folding at an angle similar to a pocket knife. These accidents are particularly dangerous because:

The trailer can sweep across multiple lanes of traffic
Other vehicles have little time to react
The truck may roll over, creating additional hazards
Cargo can spill onto the roadway

Jackknife accidents account for approximately 10% of all trucking-related deaths.

What is an underride accident and why is it so deadly?

An underride collision occurs when a smaller vehicle crashes into the rear or side of an 18-wheeler and slides underneath the trailer. These accidents are often fatal because:

The trailer’s height shears off the vehicle’s roof
Occupants can be decapitated or suffer catastrophic head injuries
Airbags may not deploy properly
The vehicle’s safety systems are bypassed

Approximately 400-500 underride deaths occur annually in the United States.

What causes rollover accidents in Hansford County?

Rollover accidents occur when trucks tip onto their side or roof. Common causes in Hansford County include:

Speeding on curves or ramps
Taking turns too sharply at excessive speed
Improperly secured or unevenly distributed cargo
Liquid cargo “slosh” that shifts the center of gravity
Driver overcorrection after a tire blowout or lane departure
Road design defects on rural highways

Rollover accidents frequently lead to secondary crashes from debris and fuel spills.

What are the “No-Zones” and why are they dangerous?

The “No-Zones” are the blind spots around large trucks where the driver cannot see other vehicles:

Front No-Zone: 20 feet directly 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: Extends from the cab door backward and is much larger than the left side

Many blind spot accidents occur during lane changes on highways like US 83 in Hansford County.

What is the “squeeze play” in trucking accidents?

The “squeeze play” occurs 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 that entered the gap. This is particularly dangerous at intersections in Spearman and other Hansford County towns.

Why are tire blowouts so common in Hansford County?

Tire blowouts are a significant hazard in Hansford County due to:

Long stretches of highway that cause heat buildup
Heavy loads from agricultural and oilfield equipment
Road debris from farming operations
Extreme temperature variations in the Panhandle

Tire blowouts can cause loss of control, jackknives, rollovers, and debris strikes to following vehicles.

What causes brake failures in commercial trucks?

Brake failures cause approximately 29% of large truck crashes. In Hansford County, we see brake failures due to:

Worn brake pads or shoes not replaced
Improper brake adjustment (too loose)
Air brake system leaks or failures
Overheated brakes on long descents
Contaminated brake fluid
Defective brake components

Brake failures often result in rear-end collisions, runaway trucks, and multi-vehicle pileups.

What happens when cargo isn’t properly secured?

Improperly secured cargo can:

Shift during transit, destabilizing the truck
Fall from the truck onto the roadway
Cause rollover accidents
Create multi-vehicle accidents from spilled loads
Expose other motorists to hazardous materials

Cargo securement violations are among the top 10 most common FMCSA violations.

What should I do if I suspect the truck driver was fatigued?

If you suspect driver fatigue:

Note any signs of fatigue you observed (erratic driving, slow reactions, etc.)
Document the time of day and how long the driver may have been on the road
Report your suspicions to the police
Contact an attorney immediately to preserve evidence

We can obtain ELD records, dispatch logs, and other evidence to prove fatigue.

What should I do if I suspect the truck driver was distracted?

If you suspect distracted driving:

Note any observations of phone use or other distractions
Report your suspicions to the police
Contact an attorney immediately

We can subpoena cell phone records, obtain dashcam footage, and analyze ECM data to prove distraction.

What should I do if I suspect the truck wasn’t properly maintained?

If you suspect maintenance failures:

Note any visible signs of poor maintenance (worn tires, broken lights, etc.)
Report your suspicions to the police
Contact an attorney immediately

We can obtain maintenance records, inspect the truck, and analyze ECM data for fault codes.

What should I do if I suspect the cargo wasn’t properly secured?

If you suspect cargo securement failures:

Note any observations of shifting loads or spilled cargo
Report your suspicions to the police
Contact an attorney immediately

We can inspect the cargo and securement devices, obtain loading records, and analyze accident dynamics.

What should I do if I suspect the truck driver was under the influence?

If you suspect drug or alcohol use:

Note any signs of impairment you observed
Report your suspicions to the police
Request that the driver be tested
Contact an attorney immediately

We can obtain drug and alcohol test results and review the driver’s qualification file for previous violations.
