Every year, thousands of families in Fort Bend County face life-changing injuries from 18-wheeler accidents on Thompsons’ highways. If you or a loved one has been seriously hurt in a trucking accident in Thompsons, you need more than just a lawyer—you need a team that understands the unique challenges of Thompsons’ trucking corridors and knows how to hold negligent trucking companies fully accountable.

Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has federal court experience in the Southern District of Texas and has secured multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for families devastated by catastrophic 18-wheeler crashes.

Why Thompsons Trucking Accidents Are Different

Thompsons sits at the crossroads of major trucking routes that serve the entire Houston metropolitan area. The town’s proximity to Highway 6, FM 2759, and other key freight corridors means our roads see heavy commercial traffic daily. This creates unique risks for local drivers:

High-speed truck traffic mixing with local commuters on Highway 6
Oversized loads traveling through Thompsons to reach distribution centers
Fatigued drivers pushing hours-of-service limits to meet Houston delivery deadlines
Hazardous material shipments passing through from the Port of Houston
Congested intersections where trucks make wide turns across multiple lanes

We know Thompsons’ trucking corridors, from the industrial zones near Highway 6 to the residential areas where trucks and passenger vehicles share the road. This local knowledge, combined with our deep understanding of FMCSA regulations, gives us a powerful advantage in building your case.

The Devastating Reality of Thompsons 18-Wheeler Accidents

When an 80,000-pound truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often catastrophic. Thompsons families frequently suffer:

Traumatic brain injuries from the extreme forces of truck collisions
Spinal cord damage leading to permanent paralysis
Amputations when vehicles are crushed beneath trailers
Severe burns from fuel tank ruptures and fires
Internal organ damage from the massive impact forces
Wrongful death when families lose loved ones in preventable crashes

The average passenger vehicle weighs about 4,000 pounds—just 5% of an 18-wheeler’s weight. This disparity means truck accidents in Thompsons often result in life-altering injuries or fatalities.

Common Causes of Trucking Accidents in Thompsons

Our Thompsons trucking accident attorneys have seen firsthand how these crashes happen on our local roads:

Driver Fatigue (Hours of Service Violations)

Truck drivers serving the Houston area often violate federal hours-of-service regulations to meet tight delivery schedules. Federal law limits drivers to:

11 hours of driving after 10 consecutive hours off duty
14-hour on-duty window after coming on duty
30-minute break after 8 hours of driving
60/70-hour weekly limits

When drivers exceed these limits, their reaction times slow dramatically. Fatigued driving causes approximately 31% of fatal truck crashes.

Distracted Driving

Cell phone use, texting, GPS devices, and in-cab electronics distract Thompsons truck drivers. Federal regulations prohibit:

Hand-held mobile phone use while driving
Texting while driving
Reaching for devices in a way that requires leaving the driver’s seat

Despite these rules, we frequently see Thompsons truck drivers using phones when accidents occur.

Improper Maintenance and Equipment Failures

Poorly maintained trucks create serious hazards on Thompsons roads:

Brake failures (responsible for 29% of truck accidents)
Tire blowouts (11,000+ crashes annually nationwide)
Lighting violations (missing or non-functional lights)
Cargo securement failures (shifting loads causing rollovers)

Trucking companies must maintain systematic inspection and maintenance programs, but many cut corners to save costs.

Improper Loading and Overweight Trucks

Thompsons’ proximity to major distribution centers means we see many improperly loaded trucks:

Overweight vehicles that can’t stop in time
Unbalanced loads that cause rollovers
Improperly secured cargo that falls onto roadways
Liquid loads that shift during turns

Federal cargo securement regulations require specific tiedowns, blocking, and bracing for different cargo types.

Aggressive Driving and Speeding

Thompsons truck drivers often speed to meet delivery deadlines:

Following too closely (tailgating)
Improper lane changes
Failure to yield right-of-way
Speeding for conditions (especially on Highway 6)

An 80,000-pound truck traveling at 65 mph needs approximately 525 feet to stop—nearly two football fields.

Impaired Driving

Despite strict regulations, some Thompsons truck drivers operate under the influence:

Alcohol (0.04% BAC limit for commercial drivers)
Illegal drugs (Schedule I substances prohibited)
Prescription medications that impair driving ability

Federal regulations require random drug and alcohol testing for commercial drivers.

Inadequate Training

Many Thompsons trucking companies hire inexperienced drivers and provide minimal training. Federal regulations require:

Commercial driver’s license (CDL)
Entry-level driver training
Ongoing safety training

When companies fail to properly train drivers, accidents happen—especially in complex driving environments like Thompsons’ mix of urban and rural roads.

Types of Trucking Accidents We Handle in Thompsons

Our Thompsons 18-wheeler accident lawyers handle all types of commercial vehicle crashes:

Jackknife Accidents

When a truck’s trailer swings out to form a 90-degree angle with the cab, often blocking multiple lanes. Common causes:

Sudden braking on wet or icy roads
Speeding on curves
Empty or lightly loaded trailers
Brake failures

Rollover Accidents

When a truck tips onto its side or roof, often causing cargo spills. Common on Thompsons’ rural roads and highway ramps. Causes include:

Speeding on curves
Improperly secured cargo
Liquid cargo shifting
Overcorrection after tire blowouts

Underride Collisions

When a passenger vehicle slides underneath a trailer, often resulting in decapitation or catastrophic head injuries. Two types:

Rear underride (vehicle strikes back of trailer)
Side underride (vehicle strikes side of trailer during turns)

Federal law requires rear underride guards, but no federal requirement exists for side guards.

Rear-End Collisions

When a truck strikes the back of another vehicle, often causing severe whiplash, spinal injuries, and crushing damage. Causes:

Following too closely
Driver distraction
Brake failures
Speeding

Wide Turn Accidents (“Squeeze Play”)

When a truck swings wide before making a right turn, creating a gap that other vehicles enter. The truck then completes the turn, crushing the smaller vehicle.

Blind Spot Accidents (“No-Zone”)

Trucks have four major blind spots where drivers can’t see other vehicles:

Front No-Zone (20 feet directly in front)
Rear No-Zone (30 feet behind)
Left Side No-Zone (extends from driver’s door backward)
Right Side No-Zone (extends from driver’s door backward—largest blind spot)

Tire Blowout Accidents

When a truck tire suddenly fails, causing the driver to lose control. Debris from blowouts often strikes following vehicles. Causes:

Underinflation
Overloading
Worn tires
Road debris

Brake Failure Accidents

When a truck’s brakes fail or underperform, preventing the driver from stopping in time. Causes:

Worn brake pads
Improper adjustment
Air system leaks
Overheating (brake fade)

Cargo Spill and Shift Accidents

When improperly secured cargo falls from a truck or shifts during transit, causing:

Multi-vehicle pileups from debris
Rollovers from shifted center of gravity
Hazmat incidents from chemical spills

Head-On Collisions

When a truck crosses into oncoming traffic, often resulting in fatalities. Causes:

Driver fatigue
Distracted driving
Impaired driving
Wrong-way entry
Medical emergencies

Thompsons Trucking Accident FAQ

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

Call 911, seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, collect witness information, and call Attorney911 immediately. Do NOT give recorded statements to insurance companies.

Who can I sue after a trucking accident in Thompsons?

Multiple parties may be liable, including:

The truck driver
The trucking company
The cargo owner
The loading company
Truck or parts manufacturers
Maintenance companies
Freight brokers
The truck owner (if different from the carrier)

Is the trucking company responsible even if the driver caused the accident?

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, training, supervision, and maintenance.

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% responsible. Our job is to investigate thoroughly and prove what really happened.

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, including:

Speed before and during the crash
Brake application timing
Throttle position
GPS location
Fault codes

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.

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 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 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 Thompsons?

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 Thompsons?

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.

What if my loved one was killed in a trucking accident in Thompsons?

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 an 18-wheeler accident lawsuit in Thompsons?

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

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.
