18-wheeler Accidents

Injured in an 18-wheeler accident? We handle the legal fight—so you can focus on healing.

Accidents involving 18-wheelers and commercial trucks are among the most devastating on Texas roads. These massive vehicles can cause catastrophic damage in seconds, often leaving victims with life-altering injuries, mounting medical bills, and uncertain futures. At Mahdavi Law Firm, we help individuals and families take on powerful trucking companies and recover the compensation they deserve.

If you’ve been injured in a collision with an 18-wheeler, you need more than just a personal injury lawyer—you need a team that understands the complexities of commercial trucking laws, federal regulations, and high-stakes litigation. That’s where we come in.

Why 18-Wheeler Accidents Are Different

Unlike typical car accidents, 18-wheeler crashes involve a complicated web of laws, evidence, and responsible parties. Truck drivers are held to higher safety standards under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), and violations can be critical in proving liability.

Trucking companies often have teams of lawyers and insurance adjusters ready to defend their interests from the moment a crash occurs. They may move quickly to shift blame, destroy evidence, or pressure victims into unfair settlements. That’s why it’s crucial to have legal representation immediately after an accident.

At Mahdavi Law Firm, we act fast to secure black box data, inspection logs, maintenance records, and other critical evidence before it disappears.

Common Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents

While every case is unique, many truck accidents are caused by preventable errors, including:

• Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
• Speeding or aggressive driving
• Distracted or impaired driving
• Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo
• Poor vehicle maintenance or defective equipment
• Inadequate training or negligent hiring

We investigate the root cause of your crash, identify all liable parties, and build a powerful case to maximize your recovery.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Victims of 18-wheeler accidents often suffer severe injuries like spinal cord damage, brain trauma, broken bones, and internal injuries. In the most tragic cases, these crashes result in wrongful death.

We fight to recover compensation for:

• Emergency and long-term medical expenses
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Rehabilitation and home modifications
• Property damage
• Funeral and burial costs (in fatal accidents)

What to Do After a Truck Accident

After a crash with an 18-wheeler, your first step should be getting medical attention—even if you feel fine. Some injuries don’t show up right away. Report the accident to law enforcement and ensure a police report is filed. If you’re able, take photos of the scene, get witness information, and avoid speaking to the trucking company or their insurer before contacting an attorney.

The trucking company will act fast to protect themselves. You should too. Call Mahdavi Law Firm right away so we can begin protecting your rights.
