Rodriguez Law Firm Fights for Million-Dollar Justice
Why High-Impact 18-Wheeler Accidents in Texas Demand Top Legal Representation
When a fully loaded 18-wheeler crashes into a car or pickup, the results are devastating. Victims are often left with broken bones, brain injuries, or worse, permanent disabilities that change their lives forever. These aren’t fender benders. These are life-altering, million-dollar cases that require aggressive legal action. That’s where Rodriguez Law Firm, P.C. steps in.
Truck Crashes Are Bigger, Deadlier, and Legally More Complicated Than Car Accidents
A crash with a commercial truck isn't just a “car accident with a bigger vehicle.” It’s a completely different legal animal. Truck drivers must follow federal laws, such as Hours-of-Service rules, maintenance protocols, and cargo safety regulations. When they don’t, and someone gets hurt, the company and its insurer go into overdrive trying to protect their money.
We don’t let them. At Rodriguez Law Firm, we use deep investigative tools and litigation strategies to hold both the driver and the company accountable.
Common Causes of Catastrophic 18-Wheeler Wrecks
Many truck accidents are preventable. Common causes include:
Driver fatigue: Truckers driving too long without rest, violating federal safety rules.
Overloaded trailers: When trucks carry too much weight, stopping becomes nearly impossible.
Mechanical failures: Bad brakes, bald tires, and poor maintenance can kill.
Distracted or impaired driving: Texting, drugs, or alcohol behind the wheel of a big rig is a recipe for disaster.
How Rodriguez Law Firm Builds Million-Dollar Trucking Cases
We don’t wait. The moment we’re hired, we:
Send legal letters to preserve evidence (like dash cams, logbooks, and black box data)
Hire expert investigators and accident reconstruction teams
Pull DOT, FMCSA, and vehicle maintenance records
Depose company executives and drivers under oath
This aggressive approach lets us uncover what really happened, and it often leads to fast, high-value settlements or trial wins.

Real Case Example
We represented a man who was rear-ended by an 18-wheeler outside San Antonio. The trucker had been driving 16 hours straight and falsified his logbooks. After obtaining the black box and hiring fatigue experts, we secured a $1.9 million settlement before trial.
