South Texas roads see some of the heaviest commercial vehicle traffic in the state. From loaded 18-wheelers moving freight along I-35 and US-83 to company fleet vehicles traveling the highways between McAllen, Harlingen, and Brownsville, the risk of serious collisions is a daily reality for drivers throughout the region. When those crashes happen, the consequences can be catastrophic, and the companies and insurers behind commercial vehicles are well-resourced and motivated to minimize what they pay out.
The Osiris A. Gonzalez Law Firm takes on these cases directly, investigating the accident, identifying every responsible party, and pursuing the full compensation available under Texas law. We handle car accidents, truck and 18-wheeler collisions, commercial vehicle crashes, and all types of motor vehicle injury cases throughout South Texas.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, large trucks account for approximately 8% of all fatal crashes and 3% of all injury and property related crashes. This may seem like a small amount, but consider that in 2012, 3,921 people were killed in big rig collisions while 104,000 people were injured. That’s approximately 29 truck accidents for every 100,000 cars on the road.
The simple answer is: physics. The average car weighs about 3,000 pounds, while a big rig carrying a full load can weigh more than 70,000 pounds. The differences in size and weight mean that the occupants of the passenger car are more likely to suffer severe or fatal injuries in a crash.
Investigating the accident scene, eyewitness testimony, and the police report are all tools that help determine fault in a truck accident. An experienced truck accident attorney will also investigate the driver and the company that employs them. How the truck driver was hired and trained, how many hours they were working and the condition of the truck can all be contributing factors in assigning fault.
The details of each case are unique, so there is no standard amount that can be quoted. Many factors go into determining how much a truck accident case is worth, including medical expenses, lost wages and possibly funeral expenses – in addition to pain and suffering. A free case evaluation from a truck accident attorney is the best way to determine the worth of your truck accident case.
No. To protect your legal rights, please do not speak with the trucking company’s claims adjusters. Nor should you agree to sign anything. Politely refuse and have your attorney speak with them instead. No matter how concerned for your well-being an insurance adjuster may seem, their ultimate priority is to protect the interests of their company – not your family’s.
Severe, life-altering and fatal injuries are common in accidents involving big rigs and commercial trucks. A trucking company’s insurer is going to offer what they feel is the lowest reasonable amount, which often isn’t nearly enough to cover the lifetime expenses of your injuries. A truck accident attorney can assist you in determining and securing maximum compensation for the pain and suffering you’ve endured as a result of a collision with a large truck.
