Truck Accidents

A $125,000 Truck Accident Settlement Erased Jessica's Medical Debt and Restored Her Peace of Mind.

Jessica's life was thrown into chaos by her injuries, and the insurance company’s insulting $0 offer only made it worse.

It started with a serious truck accident that left Jessica with severe neck and back injuries. Her focus was suddenly forced away from recovery and onto the overwhelming medical bills piling up—a crisis made worse when the trucking company's insurer decided her case was worth $0.

Insulted and facing an impossible battle alone, Jessica knew she needed an experienced advocate on her side. She made the call to our firm, where we listened to her story, understood the injustice, and immediately began building a case to hold the insurance company accountable.

Our team refused to back down, aggressively fighting the insurance company's unjust denial. This fight resulted in a total settlement of $125,000.00. After her medical bills and all fees were paid, Jessica walked away with $59,521.08, giving her the financial freedom to pay off her debts and the peace of mind to finally focus on her recovery.

We handle the fight, so you can focus on your recovery.

Truck Accidents Aren’t Just Bigger—They’re More Complicated.

When a semi-truck or 18-wheeler hits you, it’s never just another fender bender. These crashes often involve:

  • Severe injuries and long recovery times
  • Lost income
  • Permanent disability
  • Sky-high medical bills
  • Aggressive insurance companies and corporate defense teams

These aren’t rare situations, either. Texas leads the nation in large truck crashes, with thousands of serious injuries and fatalities every year—proving just how devastating these accidents can be.

In 2023, the state recorded over 20,500 crashes involving large trucks, leading the nation. Another recent year saw 38,909 truck crashes across Texas, with 549 fatal accidents and 620 deaths.

And here’s the worst part: Trucking companies start working immediately to limit what they owe you. That means gathering evidence, shifting blame, and offering lowball settlements to protect their profits.

At Herbert Trial Law, we act fast to preserve evidence, prove fault, and fight for
the maximum compensation you deserve.

Don’t let them bury your case. Let us investigate your truck accident now.

So what causes these crashes—and how do trucking companies try to cover it up?

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck crashes often result from:

  • Driver Fatigue
  • Speeding
  • Distracted Driving
  • Improperly Loaded Cargo
  • Equipment Failure (like brake or tire issues)

These cases aren’t just big in scale—they’re legally complex.

We know how to expose the safety violations and corner-cutting that lead to disaster — and we know exactly how the trucking company will try to cover their tracks.

They’ll Seem Helpful— Until It’s Time to Pay.

The trucking company’s insurance team isn’t here to be fair. Their job is to settle fast and cheap.

Here’s what they don’t want you to know:

  • They often send investigators to the scene before you’ve even left the hospital
  • They may “lose” or withhold important evidence like dashcam footage or maintenance logs
  • They try to get you to talk early so they can twist your words later

Acting FAST is Critical — Here’s Why:

Truck Accident Evidence Disappears Fast— The Sooner You Act, the Stronger Your Case!

The trucking company’s insurance team starts working the moment the crash happens—and they don’t wait for you to catch up. That’s why getting a legal team immediately can be the difference between a strong case and a lost opportunity.

Here’s what we help secure before it disappears:

  • Black box data – tells us the truck’s speed, braking, and hours of operation
  • Driver logs – may show violations of mandatory rest breaks
  • Maintenance records – can expose mechanical negligence
  • Dashcam or surveillance footage – often erased or overwritten within days
  • Eyewitness statements – memories fade fast if not recorded quickly

Don’t give the trucking company a head start. We move fast—because they do.

From facing a traumatic brain injury alone, to a future secured for recovery. We fought hard and won David the finances he needed to continue his healing and care.

After a devastating truck accident left him with a life-changing brain injury, the insurance company callously denied his claim.

David Muecke’s life was forever altered by a devastating truck accident that left him with severe neck and back pain and a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). He was facing a long, uncertain road to recovery that would affect every aspect of his life.

In a shocking display of disregard, the responsible insurance company reviewed David's severe injuries and offered him absolutely nothing: $0. They callously dismissed the immense physical, emotional, and financial toll of his TBI.

Facing a powerful insurance company that refused to acknowledge reality, David knew he couldn't fight alone. He hired our firm to stand up for his rights. We launched an aggressive fight to hold the insurer accountable for their insulting denial, culminating in a $351,810.40 gross settlement. This secured the critical financial resources David needed for his long-term care and future.

When your future is on the line, we're the fighters you need.
