18 Wheeler Rollover Claims for Both Drivers
A truck rollover is a crash in which a semi or its trailer tips onto its side or roof, these crashes often happen on a curve or when the load shifts. A truck rollover claim requires a different approach for the truck driver and each column below represents both scenarios whether you’re the truck driver or you got hit by the truck driver.
In another vehicle
If the truck or its load hit you
-
An 18 wheeler usually carries a commercial policy with higher limits.
The trucking company’s commercial policy is where your injury claim goes.
Our staff tells you that an 18 wheeler most likely has a commercial policy, and its limits are a lot higher than a standard vehicle policy. That policy is where your injury claim goes.
-
An officer’s note about failure to yield puts fault at the center of your claim.
What the officer wrote decides how fault gets argued.
Before that policy pays, fault has to be settled. Our staff tells you that an officer’s comment about a possible failure to yield makes fault an important issue in your claim.
-
Keep your pay stubs and proof of the work you missed.
Missed pay counts in the claim when you can prove it.
With fault settled, the claim turns to what the crash cost you. Our staff tells you that missed days and receipts can be important, so hang on to pay stubs and proof of missed work.
Behind the wheel
If you were driving the truck
-
Workers comp usually covers you first, even if your company says wait.
A crash on the job usually goes through workers comp first.
Our staff explains that because you were on the job working, your claim is a workers comp matter, even when the company tells you to wait.
-
Your dash cam footage can get the other driver ticketed.
Video from your own truck can show who caused the crash.
One client showed the police the dash cam footage right there on the scene, and the other driver got a ticket.
-
If your company has no workers comp, you may claim against it.
A personal injury firm steps in when your job has no workers comp.
Our staff asks whether your job has workers comp, because a personal injury attorney can only assist if your job did not have it.
“I was woken up to the rumble and the truck shaking and um I opened up my curtains and looked out and I seen another 18-wheeler on top of my hood.”
An 18 wheeler driver client, hit in his sleeper berth on a 10 hour break. He says the firm took care of him from the accident all the way into the healing process.Watch the truck driver’s story (opens in a new tab)Where one trailer rollover claim ended
- Settled before a lawsuit
- $95,000
- Where
- FM 1788, Midland
- What rolled
- The trailer
- Officer’s finding
- Failed to yield
A company truck towing a trailer turned left across our client’s lane on FM 1788 near Midland, and the officer found the driver failed to yield because stopped traffic blocked the turning driver’s view. Our client’s pickup struck the side of the truck, and the trailer rolled over and struck its front. J. Alexander Law Firm resolved the claim for $95,000 before a lawsuit was filed.
This was a work pickup towing a trailer, not an 18 wheeler. Every case is different. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Case results described here were obtained on behalf of clients across Texas and Oklahoma; they are not necessarily truck rollover 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.
