Houston Truck Accident Lawyer for 18-Wheeler Crashes
Why Truck Crashes Need Serious Representation
High-impact collisions on I-10, I-45, and the 610 Loop
When a semi or delivery rig hits a smaller vehicle near the Galleria or along I-69, injuries are often severe. Stephens Juren, PLLC knows how commercial policies and federal rules shape truck claims in Houston and across Texas. We move quickly to document the scene and protect your recovery while you focus on treatment.
Unique Challenges Involving Commercial Trucks
Multiple parties, federal regulations, and aggressive insurers
Truck cases often involve the driver, the trucking company, maintenance vendors, brokers, and shippers. We seek driver logbooks, ELD
black box data, dispatch notes, and maintenance records to show violations like hours-of-service breaches or poor upkeep. Our team knows how to counter corporate defense strategies and push for accountability.

Answers For Houston Truck Crash Victims
Five questions we hear most
Who can be held liable in a truck crash?
Liability can include the driver, the trucking company, a contractor, the loader, or a maintenance shop. We look at load tickets, hiring files, and inspection records to connect negligence to the harm. Joint responsibility is common when multiple mistakes led to the collision.
The insurer offered me a quick settlement?
Quick offers are usually designed to close the claim before full damages are known. Do not sign releases until your injuries and future care are clear. Stephens Juren, PLLC evaluates the offer and compares it to the real value of your losses.
Do truck cases take longer than car claims?
They often do because there are more records, experts, and higher limits at stake. Extra time can be worth it if it means covering lifelong medical and income losses. We keep the case moving and push deadlines to avoid unnecessary delays.
How are commercial truck claims different?
Federal rules apply, evidence is more technical, and policy limits are higher. There can be multiple corporate defendants and complex indemnity agreements. Our approach accounts for each piece so nothing important gets missed.
What should I do first after a truck crash?
Get medical care, call 911, and gather photos and witness details if you can. Save tow receipts and note cameras near interchanges like I-10 and Beltway 8. Then contact our team so evidence is preserved before it goes missing.
