We Fight for Victims in Commercial Vehicle & 18-Wheeler Truck Accidents in Texarkana, TX

McKay Law’s 18-wheeler truck accident lawyer in Texarkana, TX, tirelessly pursues negligent truck drivers and their insurers for compensation deserved by its injury victim clients.

The drivers of those big trucks and commercial vehicles should be held to a higher standard, and their negligent behavior should be vigorously pursued. 

Each time we meet an 18-wheeler on a Texas highway or a huge commercial vehicle in our neighborhoods, the fear of death passes within a few feet of us. If one of these trucks or commercial vehicles strays across the line and directly hits a passenger car, the car and its occupants will definitely be destroyed.

Semi Truck Accident Lawyer in Texarkana, TX

McKay Law has a dedicated truck accident lawyer team to help injured clients in Texarkana, TX. We recently won a $6mm wrongful death claim in a truck accident for our client. You can rest assured that you’re in good hands if you choose us to be your lawyer because not only that we understand the pain and the difficulty of the victim, but we’re also good at what we’re doing. See our results.

Truck Accident Causes in Texarkana, TX

Semi-trucks and 18-wheelers usually have heavy weights and high speeds that can cause some of the most serious and horrific injuries, including paraplegia, brain injuries, and wrongful death.

Fatigue, brought by long hours on the road, is one of the leading causes of accidents involving these big rigs. The introduction of Mexican trucks and drivers pursuant to the authorization of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has made Texas highways even more dangerous. Additionally, the rise of e-commerce deliveries also has placed increasingly more trucks on the roads, and more commercial vehicles are now in our neighborhoods in Texarkana, TX.

Do you know? Illegally or unsafely parked trailers are often the cause of accidents. Flatbed trailers parked for the night on poorly lit roadways are difficult for motorists to see, and their owners should be held responsible for the resulting injuries and damages as well.

Truck Accident Insurance in Texarkana, TX

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations require that 18-wheelers and most commercial vehicles have at least $750,000 in liability insurance. Because many truck insurance policies are written in $1,000,000 increments and many umbrella policies are designed to have a $1,000,000 primary policy, we most often see $1,000,000 primary policies in truck accident cases.

Dump Truck Accident in Texarkana, TX

Dump trucks are involved in a large number of accidents. These trucks, like log trucks, commonly transport their loads for moderate distances. Aging dump trucks and log trucks are often in poor repair. Dump trucks usually travel off of the paved roadway to both load and unload. They are loaded with heavy equipment by the ton. Both the loaders and the drivers have an economic incentive to hurry.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents in Texarkana, TX

With the increase in e-commerce and home delivery, there are more commercial vehicles on the road in Texarkana, TX, than ever before. 

What is a Commercial Vehicle?

commercial vehicle is any type of motor vehicle used for transporting goods or paying passengers. Commercial vehicles usually include vans, box trucks, buses, fleet vehicles, company cars, semi-trailers, mini trucks, pickup trucks, coaches, trailers, heavy equipment, travel trailers, taxis, Uber, Lyft, Amazon, FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.

In the United States, a vehicle is designated “commercial” when it is titled or registered to a company. This is a broad definition, as commercial vehicles may be fleet vehiclescompany cars, or other vehicles used for business. Vehicles that are designed to carry more than 15 passengers are considered commercial vehicles.

Broadly defined, a vehicle may be considered a commercial vehicle if it:

  • Belongs to a company or corporation
  • Is used for business but is in an individual’s name, such as a sole proprietor
  • Is a leased vehicle and in the name of the financial institution that owns it
  • Exceeds a certain weight or class and, therefore, is “classified” as commercial even though it may not be commercially used or commercially owned. A weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more is always considered commercial
  • Is used to haul any hazardous material 

If you’re injured by any commercial vehicle in Greenville, TX, contact an experienced truck accident lawyer in Texarkana, TX today.

What To Do After A Truck Wreck or Commercial Vehicle Crash in Texarkana, TX?

Truck accident victims should retain a truck accident lawyer in Texarkana, TX, as soon as possible after an accident. McKay Law has had many family members contact us from the hospital or even sooner after a fatal truck wreck or wrongful death accident.

Truck drivers are trained to call the trucking company immediately after an accident, often calling the dispatcher before calling the police or an ambulance for their victims. The trucking company often gets a representative/investigator on the scene within days or sometimes hours after the accident.

These “damage control” investigators have been known to remove and destroy evidence. Key witnesses become increasingly difficult to find with each passing day and physical evidence, such as skid marks, fade in the weather.

Victims should always call the police and identify witnesses immediately, if possible. The first response of a trucking company is ALWAYS to blame the victim. You should have an experienced truck accident lawyer like McKay Law on your side. A recent settlement of a wrongful death truck accident by McKay Law resulted in a $6mm award.
