What we do in the first 24 hours after your call

  • Make sure you’re safe and getting medical care, even if you don’t have health insurance.
  • Send a preservation letter so the company cannot erase the truck’s black-box, dashcam, and electronic logging device (ELD) data before we secure it.
  • Start gathering photos, video, and witness information before it disappears.
  • Tell you, honestly, whether you need a lawyer and what your options are.

Three moves trucking companies make and how we protect you

The trucking company and its insurer move fast to protect themselves, not you. Our Houston truck accident lawyers move fast to lock down the evidence.

1 Their move

They push a quick, cheap settlement

They know the bills and the missed paychecks scare you, so they push fast money before anyone sees how serious your injuries really are.

How we protect you

We get between you and the adjuster, so they deal with us, not you, and we lay out your options so you never sign away your rights for a quick, low check.

2 Their move

They try to pin the blame onto you

Even when the truck hit you, they hunt for any detail, a lane change, a turn, a small mistake, to call it your fault and cut your claim.

How we protect you

We tell you what to say, and what not to, to insurers. The moment they pin the blame on you, we step in and set the record straight on what happened.

3 Their move

They “lose” or delay key evidence

Logs get overwritten, trucks get repaired, and video gets taped over while you are still hurting. Move too slow and that proof is gone.

How we protect you

We demand preservation of ELD and black-box data that can be overwritten in weeks, because our crash reconstruction experts rely on it to prove fault.

You do not have to outguess a trucking company or its insurer after a crash. One call lets us start blocking these moves while you focus on your health and your family.

What your first 72 hours with us look like after a Houston truck crash

  • Day 1: you talk to a lawyer, not a call center, and we step between you and the insurance companies, so they deal with us instead of you.
  • Day 2-3: we start our investigation, send evidence-preservation letters, and give you a simple timeline, so you know what we are doing and what comes next.

How we prove the trucking company was at fault for your Houston wreck

Houston truck accident lawyers at J. Alexander Law do not just say the trucking company was at fault. We build your case step by step, so we can show how the crash happened and why they should pay.

We lock down the truck data

We move fast to lock down the truck’s black box, ELD data, GPS, and driver logs before they get erased. That evidence often sets who was at fault, and under Texas’s comparative fault rules, every share of blame we shift off you protects your recovery.

We put investigators and reconstruction on your side

We bring in investigators and crash reconstruction experts to study the scene, vehicles, and data so we can pin down trucking company liability and support the full value of your injuries.

We work with your doctors to prove your injuries

We work with your treating doctors and medical experts on what your injuries are, how they change your daily life, and the care you will need ahead, so your case rests on real medicine, not complaints.

We show what the driver and company should have done

Using the truck data, the records, and the safety rules every trucker must follow, we lay out what the driver and company should have done to avoid your crash, and how their choices changed your life.

We are ready to file suit and take it as far as it needs to go.

Proving fault is our job, not yours. Start with a free case review.

What you can recover after a Houston truck accident

Houston truck accident lawyers at J. Alexander Law work to stop this crash from draining money you do not have and time you cannot get back.

01

Medical bills and future care

We push to get your past and future medical bills covered, from ER visits and surgery to the follow-up care your doctors say you will need.

02

Lost income and future earning capacity

We go after the paychecks you have already missed and the income you may lose in the future if your injuries change what you can earn.

03

Pain and life impact

We fight for what the crash did to your body, your sleep, your stress, and the parts of daily life you cannot enjoy the same way anymore.

04

Car and property

We help cover the cost to repair or replace your vehicle and other damaged property, plus a rental or other ride while your car is down.

05

When a loved one was killed

We stand with families to pursue funeral costs, lost financial support, and the loss of a spouse, parent, or child in wrongful death cases.

What you can recover always depends on the facts of your case. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

J. Alexander Law Firm emblem

No win, no fee. Even on a truck case.

Truck cases cost more to build than car wrecks because we subpoena ELDs, secure black-box data, and pay for the expert analysis these cases require. We advance every dollar of that cost on your behalf. You pay nothing out of pocket, and our fee comes only from money we recover for you.

No cost to start
Real Houston-area truck results

How we’ve helped other Houston truck crash victims

In a truck case, the carrier’s team often starts by blaming the injured driver and denying the company’s responsibility. Here is what changed once we took over:

$15M

A family lost someone in a collision with a commercial truck. We established liability against both the driver and the carrier for hours-of-service violations, and recovered $15M.

$2.55M

A client was seriously hurt in a wreck with a tractor-trailer, and the primary policy alone would not have covered it. We named multiple liable parties, unlocked coverage beyond that first policy, and resolved the case for $2.55M.

$1M

After a high-impact highway collision, the driver’s speed was in dispute. We secured the truck’s black box data within 48 hours, proved the driver’s excessive speed, and recovered $1M.

Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. What we can guarantee is that we will do the work your case deserves.

Matthew Graham

Managing Litigation Attorney

Why our trial experience matters in a Houston truck case

At J. Alexander Law, your Houston truck case is backed by Matthew Graham, a litigation attorney with more than 25 years in civil trials across Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. For over a decade he defended insurance companies, running subrogation litigation for a 10-state region of the nation's second-largest auto insurer.

25+ yrs in civil trials Tried in 4 states Former insurance-defense director

He and Josh Alexander have taken high-exposure truck cases to trial and won, so carriers know we will not fold at the first low offer. We prepare your case from day one as if a jury will see it, using Matthew's inside view of the insurance playbook to push for full value, not a quiet write-off.

Types of Houston truck crashes we handle

Rear-end crashes on I-10, I-45, Beltway 8, and area feeders

Jackknife and rollover crashes with heavy, loaded trailers

Underride crashes, where a smaller car slides under a trailer

Cargo and load-shift crashes from oilfield and industrial rigs

Not every crash that feels like a truck wreck involves a commercial truck. If a passenger car hit you, our Houston car accident lawyers handle those claims, and you can see how we build 18-wheeler cases across the state on our Texas truck accident lawyers page.

Truck crash in another Texas city? We also help truck accident victims in Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Canton.

Truck accident questions Houston drivers ask most

What Houston drivers ask us most after a truck crash, answered directly, and in your free case review we look for broken federal trucking rules and move fast to preserve electronic evidence.

Still have questions?

The fastest answers come from a quick, honest call with an attorney who can hear your specific situation. Most consultations take 15 to 20 minutes.

Call (713) 804-4774
Why does it matter if the trucking company is also liable, not just the driver?
Because the trucking company shares liability with the driver, your claim can reach the company's commercial policy, which federal law usually requires to carry at least 750,000 dollars in coverage and more for certain loads. That larger coverage pool is one reason serious truck cases often resolve for more than ordinary car accidents. Because federal trucking rules are so strict, even one violation can make the company liable and unlock its much larger commercial insurance policy. Call us for a free case review to find out who may be liable in your crash. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
What is the difference between a Houston truck accident lawyer and a regular car accident lawyer?
A Houston truck accident lawyer knows the federal trucking rules, how to subpoena ELD records, how to identify all liable companies through the DOT number, and how to bring in crash reconstruction experts before critical evidence disappears, all while working on a contingency fee so you do not pay upfront for that extra work. Federal rules require most carriers to use ELDs, so that data exists by law and we can force the company to turn it over. If a commercial truck hit you, talk to us before you talk to their insurer.
Why are truck accident cases in Houston worth more than most car wrecks?
Truck accident cases in Houston tend to be worth more than typical car wrecks because commercial carriers must carry higher liability limits, crashes at highway speed cause more serious injuries, and multiple companies can be held liable, all of which push case values far beyond what most personal auto policies can pay. What your own claim could recover still depends on its facts, so call us for a free review. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
What if the crash report says I was at fault but I disagree?
An officer's crash report is an important starting point, but it is not the final word on fault. We can challenge an unfavorable report with ELD data, black box downloads, witness statements, and crash reconstruction to show the truck driver's true role and keep one line in a report from deciding your whole case. If a report blames you unfairly, call us before you accept it.
How do electronic logging devices help my Houston truck case if I was rear-ended?
In a rear-end crash, ELD records can show how long the trucker had been driving, whether they were speeding or closing distance too fast, and whether they skipped legally required rest breaks. All of this helps us prove the driver created the danger, even if the crash report tries to spread blame. Call us for a free case review and we will move to secure those records fast.
What if the truck that hit me was based outside Texas?
Many trucks that crash in Houston are based in other states, but if they choose to run loads through Harris County they still have to follow federal rules and can be sued here. We routinely hold out-of-state carriers accountable in local courts while pursuing their commercial policies wherever they are written. If the truck that hit you is based in another state, reach out and we will handle the cross-state side for you.
