The First Call After You Are Rear Ended by a Semi Truck
A rear end truck accident is a crash in which a truck hits the back of the vehicle ahead of it. Before the firm sends any letter, the first call tells our staff what happened to you. Each card shows what our staff hears in a caller’s words.
Four things callers who were hit from behind have told our staff:
-
I pulled over with my blinkers on, and another driver hit me from behind.
What our staff hears: When the other driver tells police a different story, your account needs backing.
The other driver may tell police a different story, like saying you were merging with a flat tire. Tell our staff exactly where you were parked.
-
The driver who hit me had no license and could not show me proof of insurance.
What our staff hears: Standing at the roadside, you cannot tell if the other driver is covered at all.
Give us his details so we can find out for sure whether he has insurance, instead of taking his word for it.
-
My kid is scared to go to the doctor after the crash.
What our staff hears: A frightened child makes it hard to know how hurt they are.
For a young child, the medical provider decides what evaluation is needed, so you do not have to guess.
-
My last law firm said they were withdrawing from my case.
What our staff hears: A firm stepping away mid claim leaves you asking where your file went.
Your former attorney’s office is required to hand over your entire file, so ask for it.
If one of these sounds like you, tell our staff the same thing. Call (469) 807-7480
Each Person in the Car Has a Separate Truck Rear End Claim
Your first call covers everyone who was in the car, and each claim is measured on that person’s own medical record. An armored truck rear ended one Brownsville family’s pickup with a father and his two sons inside.
One crash, three separate claims
- The father, driving
- $125,000
- His son, a passenger
- $9,000
- His other son, a passenger
- $28,000
The Brownsville officer cited the armored truck driver for failure to control speed. The father went to the emergency room about three hours after the crash and started chiropractic care four days later, about 39 visits over the following months. J. Alexander Law Firm resolved each claim before a lawsuit was filed.
The vehicle that hit the family was an armored truck, a Ford Transit, not an 18 wheeler. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Amounts are gross recoveries before fees, expenses and liens.

-
Nobody was hurt. Will an attorney take my property damage claim?
Not without an injury.
Our staff explains that attorneys do not take property damage alone, since the firm takes no percentage from it. When you are hurt, our team also helps move the property damage claim along.

What Clients Say After a Crash
Two clients, word for word from their videos.
★★★★★
It meant a lot to me because it meant that they were not just working on a case. They were working with me personally.

I wasn’t, you know, kept in the dark or anything. I knew pretty much everything that was going on with the case.

From City Traffic to Two Lane Roads:
Six Texas Offices
The Texas DPS commercial driver handbook says a truck with air brakes needs over 450 feet to stop at 55 mph, so a truck can run out of room in stalled city traffic or on a two lane road. J. Alexander Law Firm handles rear end truck accident claims from offices in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, and Canton.
If you are still in the hospital, an attorney can come to you. J. Alexander Law Firm can also meet you at home or by video.

Disclaimer: This page is attorney advertising and is provided for general information only. It is not legal advice, and reading it or contacting J. Alexander Law Firm does not create an attorney-client relationship, which is formed only by a signed written agreement. Please do not share confidential information until a representation agreement is in place. Case results described here were obtained on behalf of clients across Texas and Oklahoma; they are not necessarily rear end truck accident outcomes, and past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future case. Every case is unique and depends on its own facts and the insurance coverage available. The firm handles many matters on a contingency-fee basis, meaning no attorney fee is owed unless a recovery is obtained; clients may still be responsible for case costs as set out in their agreement. Time limits, including the Texas statute of limitations and shorter deadlines for claims involving government entities, can permanently bar a claim if missed; speak with an attorney promptly about the deadlines that apply to you.
