San Antonio Truck Accident Lawyer
Because commercial trucks are regulated under both Texas and federal law, holding the right people accountable can be complicated. That is why having an experienced lawyer on your side matters from day one.
At Garza & Associates, PLLC, we help accident victims across San Antonio and Bexar County fight for justice. Mae Garza and her team do not sugarcoat the truth; they tell you exactly where your case stands and what steps can help you achieve the best outcome.
How Texas Law Protects You After A Truck Accident
Truck accident cases in Texas often involve multiple parties, including the:
- Driver
- Trucking company
- Owner of the cargo
- Maintenance contractors
These cases fall under strict laws set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and state trucking regulations. When any of these standards are ignored, we can hold the responsible parties liable.
Why Truck Accidents Happen So Often In Texas
Many truck accidents could have been prevented. Some of the most common causes include:
- Driver fatigue from long shifts on Texas highways can lead to slower reaction times.
- Improper loading from unbalanced cargo often causes rollovers or jackknifes.
- Mechanical failure due to brake or tire issues can turn deadly fast.
- Distracted driving from even a second of inattention can cause a crash.
No matter the cause, attorney Mae Garza and her legal team dig deep into every detail to uncover what really happened and help ensure those at fault are held accountable.
What To Do Right After A Truck Accident
After a crash:
- Get medical care right away.
- Report the accident to law enforcement.
- Gather photos, witness contacts and insurance details.
Remember, avoid giving statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with our San Antonio attorney.
Getting The Compensation You Deserve After A Truck Accident
Victims of truck accidents may recover damages for:
- Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering and emotional trauma
However, determining liability and proving fault in a truck accident is not always simple. Trucking companies often have their own lawyers working to limit payouts. Our lawyer team investigates every layer of responsibility to help ensure your case is backed by solid evidence.
