After a crash, you may not feel the full impact right away.
Truck crashes can leave you facing serious injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and uncertainty about what comes next. Unlike a typical car accident, an 18-wheeler crash may involve multiple parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance provider, or another responsible party.
Gamez Law can investigate what happened, identify the parties who may be responsible, deal with the insurance companies, and pursue the compensation you may be entitled to.
We Help With 18-Wheeler & Truck Accident Claims Involving:
18-wheeler and commercial truck collisions
Truck driver or trucking company negligence
Serious and catastrophic injuries
Driver fatigue, distraction, or other unsafe driving
Truck maintenance or equipment issues
Crashes involving multiple potentially responsible parties
You May Be Able to Recover Compensation For:
Medical expenses and future treatment
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Other losses related to your injuries
Important Evidence Can Disappear Quickly
After a truck accident, important evidence may be held by the trucking company or other parties. Driver logs, maintenance records, electronic vehicle data, and video footage may all help establish what happened. Acting quickly can help protect the evidence needed to build your case.

After my accident, I called the office at Gamez Law Firm and they sent Chris to handle my intake. From the start, Chris treated me like a family member and made me feel comfortable during a stressful time.
I was dealing with neck and back pain and didn’t know what steps to take next, but Chris was very patient and professional. He listened to my concerns, helped get me started with a doctor’s consultation so I could begin treatment, and also pointed me in the right direction for getting my car repairs handled.
I’m very grateful for the help and would definitely recommend Chris and the team at Gamez Law Firm.
Thank you, Chris!

frequently asked questions
Questions About Your Truck Accident?
What should I do after an 18-wheeler crash?
Seek medical attention, keep records related to the crash, and preserve any information you have about what happened. Be careful about giving detailed statements or signing documents for an insurance company before understanding your legal options. If possible, speak with one of our lawyers as soon as you can.
Who can be responsible for an 18-wheeler accident?
Depending on the circumstances, responsibility may involve the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance provider, cargo-loading company, manufacturer, or another party. An investigation can help determine who may be legally responsible for the crash and your injuries.
What compensation may be available?
Compensation may include medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses.
How much does a truck accident lawyer cost?
Gamez Law works on a contingency basis, so you do not pay attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation for you. Case expenses are advanced by the firm and deducted from any recovery, so you pay nothing out of pocket.
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Texas?
Texas generally has a two-year deadline for personal injury lawsuits, but exceptions can apply. Contact a lawyer promptly so deadlines and evidence can be evaluated.
Why is an 18-wheeler accident case different from a car accident?
Truck accident cases can involve more parties, more complex insurance issues, and evidence that may be controlled by trucking companies or other businesses. Depending on the circumstances, an investigation may need to examine driver records, maintenance records, electronic vehicle data, and other evidence.
