Here’s What the Family Needs to Know Now

When a Truck Takes a Life, You Need a Law Firm That Takes Action

Losing someone you love in a trucking accident is devastating. In an instant, everything changes — emotionally, financially, and legally. If your family is facing this nightmare, Rodriguez Law Firm, P.C. is here to take immediate legal action while you focus on healing.

What Is a Wrongful Death Lawsuit After a Trucking Crash?

When someone dies because of negligence — like a truck driver who was distracted, speeding, or overworked — Texas law allows surviving family members to file a wrongful death claim. These lawsuits hold both the driver and the trucking company accountable.

We Help Families Across Texas File Claims Against Big Trucking Companies

Wrongful death lawsuits from 18-wheeler crashes are not simple cases. The companies fight hard to avoid responsibility. That’s why you need a team that knows how to:

Preserve key evidence before it disappears
Demand access to black box and dash cam data
Subpoena hiring records and maintenance logs
Prove fault through expert reconstruction

What Can Families Recover in a Wrongful Death Claim?

You may be entitled to significant compensation for:

Funeral and burial costs
Medical bills before death
Loss of the person’s income and benefits
Loss of companionship and support
Mental anguish and emotional pain

Real Example:

Rodriguez Law Firm represented a widow and her children after a fatal crash near Waco. The trucker ran a red light after being awake for 22 straight hours. Our team uncovered logbook violations and secured $2.4 million for the family.

Why Time Matters — Evidence Can Disappear in Days

Companies are legally allowed to delete some data after a short window. If we don’t act quickly, we risk losing:

GPS location records
Logbook and drive time data
Dashcam footage from the truck
