18-Wheeler vs. Passenger Vehicle: Why These Are NOT Simple Car Accidents

A collision between an 18-wheeler and a passenger vehicle is not a “normal accident.” The forces involved are far greater, the injuries are more severe, and the legal issues are far more complex. At Rodriguez Law Firm, we know that treating a trucking crash like a typical car wreck is a recipe for disaster — and a drastically undervalued claim.
Commercial truck cases involve multiple layers of liability. The truck driver, the company, the maintenance crew, and even the cargo loader may all be responsible. On top of that, federal regulations from the FMCSA govern everything from how long a driver can operate a vehicle to how often the truck must be inspected. Understanding and proving violations of these rules requires a law firm with deep experience and legal muscle.
Insurance companies love to pretend a big rig crash is just another fender bender. We don’t let that happen. We use black box data, weigh station records, and dispatch logs to prove fault and expose negligence. We also work with medical experts to document every detail of our client’s injuries and future care needs.
When your life is permanently changed by a commercial truck, you need a team that knows how to fight. Rodriguez Law Firm handles only serious, high-value cases, and we’re here to help you win.
