18-Wheeler Accidents in Nolan County: Your Complete Legal Guide
If you or a loved one has been injured in an 18-wheeler accident in Nolan County, you’re facing one of the most challenging experiences of your life. The physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial uncertainty can feel overwhelming. But here’s what you need to know: you don’t have to face this alone. Our team at Attorney911 has been fighting for trucking accident victims across Texas for over 25 years, and we’re here to help Nolan County families get the justice and compensation they deserve.
Why Nolan County Trucking Accidents Are Different
Nolan County sits at a critical juncture in Texas’s vast transportation network. With I-20 running through Sweetwater and major highways like US-84 and SH-70 serving as vital freight corridors, our county sees significant commercial truck traffic. The oil and gas industry, agricultural shipments, and cross-country freight all contribute to heavy truck presence on our roads.
This means Nolan County residents face unique risks:
- Fatigued drivers pushing through long hauls on I-20
- Overloaded trucks from local agricultural and industrial operations
- Hazardous material shipments passing through our communities
- Seasonal traffic spikes during harvest seasons and oilfield activity
When accidents happen here, they often involve complex liability issues that require local knowledge and federal trucking expertise.
The Devastating Reality of 18-Wheeler Crashes
Every year, thousands of Americans are killed or seriously injured in commercial truck crashes. The statistics are sobering:
- 5,100+ fatalities annually in large truck crashes
- 125,000+ injuries each year
- 76% of fatalities are occupants of smaller vehicles
- 1 in 8 traffic fatalities involves a large truck
In Nolan County, we’ve seen firsthand how these accidents change lives in an instant. The sheer size and weight disparity between an 80,000-pound 18-wheeler and a 4,000-pound passenger car means catastrophic injuries are the norm, not the exception.
Common Catastrophic Injuries We See in Nolan County:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Often from impacts with truck trailers or cargo
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Leading to paralysis or permanent disability
- Amputations: From crushing injuries or medical necessity
- Severe Burns: From fuel fires or hazardous material spills
- Internal Organ Damage: From blunt force trauma
- Wrongful Death: Leaving families devastated and financially vulnerable
“They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”
— Glenda Walker, Attorney911 Client
Why Trucking Companies Try to Rush You
Here’s what most Nolan County residents don’t realize: within hours of your accident, the trucking company’s rapid-response team is already working to protect their interests, not yours. They know that critical evidence can disappear quickly:
- Black box data can be overwritten in 30 days
- ELD records may be retained for only 6 months
- Dashcam footage is often deleted within 7-14 days
- Witness memories fade within weeks
- Physical evidence can be repaired, sold, or scrapped
That’s why you need to call us immediately. We send spoliation letters within 24-48 hours to preserve all evidence before it’s lost forever.
The Trucking Company’s Playbook – And How We Counter It
Trucking companies and their insurers have a well-rehearsed playbook for minimizing claims. Here’s what they do and how we fight back:
| Their Tactic | Our Counter-Strategy |
|---|---|
| Quick lowball settlement offers | We never accept early offers – we calculate your full future damages first |
| Denying or minimizing your injuries | We obtain comprehensive medical documentation and expert testimony |
| Blaming you for the accident | We gather evidence to disprove comparative fault allegations |
| Delaying the claims process | We file lawsuits to force discovery and set depositions |
| Using your recorded statements against you | We advise clients NEVER to give statements without an attorney present |
| Claiming pre-existing conditions | We apply Texas’s “Eggshell Skull” doctrine – they take you as they find you |
| Attacking treatment gaps | We document all treatment and explain any gaps with medical records |
| Sending surveillance investigators | We advise clients on appropriate conduct and expose unfair surveillance |
| Hiring “independent” medical examiners | We counter with your treating physicians and independent experts |
| Drowning you in paperwork | We handle aggressive litigation and motion practice to force resolution |
“Our firm includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who spent years INSIDE the system. He watched adjusters minimize claims. He saw how they train their people to lowball victims. Now he exposes those tactics and uses his insider knowledge to fight for maximum compensation.”

When you call Attorney911, you’re not getting a generic 800-number law firm. You’re getting a team with deep Nolan County roots and unmatched trucking litigation expertise.
1. Local Knowledge Meets Federal Expertise
We know Nolan County’s trucking corridors like the back of our hand:
- I-20: The major east-west corridor through Sweetwater
- US-84: Connecting Snyder to Roscoe and beyond
- SH-70: Serving local agricultural and industrial freight
- US-180: Linking to Abilene and the Permian Basin

This local knowledge, combined with our understanding of FMCSA regulations, gives us an advantage in building your case.
2. Former Insurance Defense Attorney on Staff
Lupe Peña, our associate attorney, worked for years at a national defense firm representing trucking companies. He knows:
- How insurance companies value claims
- How adjusters are trained to minimize payouts
- What makes them settle cases
- How they deny claims

This insider knowledge is your unfair advantage.

4. Federal Court Experience
Ralph Manginello is admitted to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas – critical for interstate trucking cases. Many Nolan County trucking accidents involve out-of-state carriers, and federal court access means we can pursue your case wherever it needs to be filed.
5. Bilingual Services for Nolan County
Nolan County has a significant Hispanic community, and many trucking accident victims speak Spanish as their primary language. Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish, and our staff includes bilingual team members like Zulema who ensure clear communication without interpreters.
“Especially Miss Zulema, who is always very kind and always translates.”
— Celia Dominguez, Attorney911 Client
The Most Common Causes of Nolan County Trucking Accidents
Understanding what caused your accident is crucial to building a strong case. In Nolan County, we frequently see:
1. Driver Fatigue (Hours of Service Violations)
Federal regulations limit how long truck drivers can operate:
- 11-hour driving limit after 10 consecutive hours off duty
- 14-hour on-duty window – cannot drive beyond 14th consecutive hour
- 30-minute break required after 8 cumulative hours of driving
- 60/70-hour weekly limits – 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days
Why It Matters: Fatigued driving causes approximately 31% of fatal truck crashes. When drivers violate these rules, they’re too tired to react safely.
How We Prove It:
- ELD data showing driving hours
- Dispatch records showing schedule pressure
- Cell phone records showing activity during rest periods
- Witness statements about driver behavior
2. Improper Cargo Securement
Federal regulations (49 CFR § 393.100-136) require cargo to be secured to prevent:
- Leaking, spilling, blowing, or falling from the vehicle
- Shifting that affects vehicle stability or maneuverability
- Blocking the driver’s view or interfering with operation
Common Violations in Nolan County:
- Inadequate tiedowns for agricultural equipment
- Unbalanced loads on oilfield trucks
- Improper securement of pipe and drilling equipment
- Overloaded grain trucks during harvest season
Resulting Accidents:
- Rollover crashes from shifted cargo
- Spilled loads creating road hazards
- Jackknife accidents from unstable trailers
3. Brake Failures
Brake problems are a factor in approximately 29% of large truck crashes.
Common Causes:
- Worn brake pads not replaced
- Improper brake adjustment (too loose)
- Air brake system leaks or failures
- Overheated brakes on long descents
- Contaminated brake fluid
- Defective brake components
Nolan County-Specific Risks:
- Long descents on rural highways
- Oilfield trucks with heavy loads
- Deferred maintenance to save costs
4. Tire Blowouts
Nolan County’s climate creates unique tire hazards:
- Extreme heat causes tire degradation and blowouts
- Long straight stretches of highway lead to heat buildup
- Road debris from agricultural and oilfield operations
Common Causes:
- Underinflated tires
- Overloaded vehicles
- Worn or aging tires
- Road debris punctures
- Manufacturing defects
- Improper tire matching
5. Distracted Driving
Federal regulations prohibit:
- Using hand-held mobile phones while driving (49 CFR § 392.82)
- Texting while driving (49 CFR § 392.80)
- Reaching for mobile phones in a manner requiring leaving seated position
Common Distractions in Nolan County:
- Cell phone use for navigation or communication
- Dispatch communications through in-cab systems
- Eating while driving on long hauls
- Adjusting GPS devices
6. Wide Turn Accidents (“Squeeze Play”)
Trucks need significant space to complete turns, especially in Nolan County’s smaller towns and intersections.
How They Happen:
- Truck swings wide to the left before making a right turn
- Creates a gap that smaller vehicles enter
- Truck completes turn, crushing the smaller vehicle
Common Locations in Nolan County:
- Downtown Sweetwater intersections
- Rural highway intersections
- Truck stop entrances and exits
7. Underride Collisions
Among the most fatal types of trucking accidents.
Types:
- Rear Underride: Vehicle strikes back of trailer
- Side Underride: Vehicle impacts side of trailer
Why They’re Deadly:
- Trailer height often shears off the passenger compartment
- Can result in decapitation or catastrophic head injuries
Federal Requirements:
- Rear impact guards required on trailers manufactured after 1/26/1998
- Guards must prevent underride at 30 mph impact
- NO FEDERAL REQUIREMENT for side underride guards
8. Blind Spot Accidents (“No-Zone”)
Trucks have four major blind spots:
- 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 cab door backward
- Right Side No-Zone: Extends from cab door backward – MOST DANGEROUS (much larger than left side)
Common Nolan County Scenarios:
- Lane changes on I-20
- Merging onto highways
- Rural road passing attempts

Common Questions About Nolan County Trucking Accidents
1. How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a trucking accident in Texas?
Texas has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death claims. However, you should never wait. Evidence disappears quickly in trucking cases, and the sooner we start investigating, the stronger your case will be.
2. What if the truck driver says I caused the accident?
Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system. Even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation as long as you’re not more than 50% responsible. Our job is to investigate thoroughly and prove what really happened.
3. How much is my Nolan County trucking accident case worth?
Every case is unique, but factors that affect value include:
- Severity of your injuries
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost income and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Degree of the trucking company’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.
4. Should I talk to the trucking company’s insurance adjuster?
NO. Insurance adjusters work for the trucking company, not you. Anything you say can and will be used to minimize your claim. We advise all our clients to refer insurance adjusters to us – we’ll handle all communications.
5. What if I can’t afford medical treatment?
We can help connect you with medical providers who will treat you on a lien basis – meaning they’ll wait for payment until your case settles. Your health is our priority, and we’ll make sure you get the care you need.
6. How long will my case take to resolve?
Timelines vary:
- Simple cases with clear liability: 6-12 months
- Moderate cases with significant injuries: 12-24 months
- Complex cases with catastrophic injuries: 2-4 years
We work to resolve cases as quickly as possible while maximizing your recovery.
7. Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This creates leverage in negotiations and leads to better settlements. If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court.
8. Do I need to pay anything upfront?
NO. We work on a contingency fee basis – you pay nothing unless we win your case. We advance all costs of investigation and litigation. When we win, our fee comes from the recovery, not your pocket.
