Andrea's Story: Commercial Truck Crash
Andrea was struck by a commercial truck at an intersection. The defense claimed their truck was stopped — but the evidence told a different story. Bennett Legal retained accident reconstruction experts, obtained an MRI revealing axonal brain injury in the left frontal lobe, and deposed every defense expert.
At court-ordered mediation, the defense agreed to pay $2.2 million rather than face our team at trial.
Cases We Handle
Types of Truck Accident Cases Our Dallas Attorneys Handle
Whether you need an 18 wheeler accident lawyer, a semi truck accident attorney, or a commercial truck accident lawyer — Bennett Legal has the experience and resources for your case.
18 Wheeler Crashes
80,000-lb rigs cause catastrophic injuries. We investigate FMCSA violations, driver fatigue, black box data, and maintenance failures. Our 18 wheeler accident attorney handles jackknife collisions, underride crashes, and wide-turn accidents across Dallas-area highways.
Semi Truck Collisions
Semi truck crashes frequently result in spinal injuries, TBI, and permanent disabilities. As an experienced semi truck accident lawyer, we investigate black box data, GPS logs, hours-of-service records, and driver histories to establish liability.
Commercial Delivery Trucks
Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and corporate fleet crashes. These operations prioritize speed over safety. As a commercial truck accident lawyer with fleet liability experience, we hold these companies accountable.
Overloaded / Unsecured Cargo
Rollovers, jackknife accidents, and debris injuries. Our truck wreck attorney traces the cargo chain from loader to carrier. Improper loading makes multiple parties liable.
Trucking Company Negligence
Unqualified drivers, illegal hours of service, skipped inspections. As a truck accident law firm that handles complex multi-party cases, we dig deeper than the accident report to find systemic failures.
Big Rig / Heavy Equipment
Construction vehicles, tankers, and oversized loads. Complex insurance structures demand specialized experience from a big rig accident attorney who understands the regulatory landscape.

What Trucking Companies Don't Want You to Know
Their playbook is designed to minimize what they pay you. Click each tactic to see how Bennett Legal counters it.
For more on trucking company liability, read our guides: How Liability Works and Vicarious Liability.
Within hours of your crash, the trucking company sends investigators, lawyers, and adjusters — not to help you, but to build their defense before you leave the hospital.
Our counter: We send a preservation letter immediately and begin our own independent investigation within 24 hours.
Their insurer calls requesting a recorded statement. They're fishing for anything to undermine your claim — a wrong date, an inconsistent detail, a casual remark taken out of context.
Our counter: We handle all communication with insurers. You never speak to them directly.
They offer a quick payout while you're in pain and facing bills — a fraction of what your case is actually worth. They're counting on desperation.
Our counter: We evaluate the full long-term impact — future medical needs, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering — before engaging in any settlement discussion.
Companies "lose" inconvenient ELD data, driver logs, and inspection records. Federal law allows deletion of some records after 6 months.
Our counter: We send court-ordered preservation letters within days to freeze all electronic and physical evidence before it can be altered or destroyed.
If a quick lowball doesn't work, they delay — filing motions, requesting extensions, hoping you run out of patience or money.
Our counter: Bennett Legal has the resources and resolve to see every truck accident case through to full resolution. We fund all litigation costs.

What to Do After a Truck Accident in Texas
Your steps after a crash determine the strength of your case. We created a full guide here. Key steps:
Call 911 and get medical attention
Texas law requires you to stop and render aid. Truck accident injuries often don't manifest for days.
Document everything
Photos, videos, the truck's DOT number, company name on the cab, license plates, damage, skid marks.
Get driver and company info
Driver name, CDL number, trucking company name, and their insurance carrier.
Do NOT speak to their insurance
The trucking company's insurer contacts you fast. Their only goal is to minimize your claim.
Stay off social media
Defense teams actively monitor your accounts. Even innocent posts can be used against you.
Contact a truck accident lawyer immediately
Evidence can be destroyed within days. Your attorney sends a preservation letter to freeze it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions from Truck Accident Victims Near Us
Real answers from a Texas truck accident attorney — not generic legal disclaimers.
Look for an attorney with specific experience in FMCSA regulations, commercial trucking insurance, and multi-party liability. Bennett Legal has recovered $32M+ for Dallas injury clients, including truck accident victims. We offer free, no-obligation case evaluations.
We work on contingency — you pay nothing unless we win. No upfront fees, ever. Truck cases require significant investment in experts and litigation costs, which we fund entirely. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
Truck cases involve federal FMCSA regulations, multiple liable parties (driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, cargo loader), larger insurance policies ($750K–$5M+), and critical evidence like black box data and electronic driver logs that can disappear within days. Read our full comparison: Car vs. Commercial Truck Accidents.
Two years under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003. But trucking companies can legally delete certain electronic logs after six months, and physical evidence degrades fast. Acting immediately is critical — your attorney must send a preservation letter as soon as possible.
Truck accident settlements are typically much larger than car accident cases due to the severity of injuries, higher insurance limits ($750K–$5M+), and long-term impact. Bennett Legal's results range from six figures to multi-million dollar recoveries. We offer free evaluations to assess your specific situation.
Do not speak to them without an attorney. Trucking companies deploy rapid-response teams specifically to limit liability. Anything you say — even casually — can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Bennett Legal handles all communication with insurers on your behalf.
Yes. Under vicarious liability and direct negligence theories, the trucking company, maintenance provider, cargo loader, and truck manufacturer may all share liability. We investigate every link in the chain.
Electronic logging device (ELD) data, the truck's black box (ECM), driver qualification files, maintenance records, dispatch logs, and toxicology results. Much of this evidence can be destroyed within days without a preservation letter from your attorney.
