Heavy trucks travel through Fulshear every day. With ongoing development and more traffic on roads like FM 1093 and FM 1463, local drivers often find themselves next to large vehicles that outweigh their own by tens of thousands of pounds.

When those trucks are involved in a collision, the people in the smaller vehicle usually suffer. We've seen it happen to families, workers, and everyday drivers running errands or heading home.

If you were injured in a commercial truck crash, a Fulshear truck accident attorney at Pierce Skrabanek can help. Call (832) 690-7000 or send us a message online to speak with a Fulshear truck accident lawyer today. There is no cost to talk with us.

Why Do Truck Accidents Happen in Fulshear?

When large commercial trucks enter Fulshear's roads, any mistake can carry heavy consequences, from blocked sightlines at FM 359 intersections to wide turns on residential roads filled with families. These incidents often relate to preventable issues inside the truck or company oversight.

Contributing causes in Fulshear truck crashes often include:

  • Sleep-deprived truckers working beyond safe hours,
  • Drivers following too closely behind smaller cars,
  • Swerving or rolling due to overloaded or unbalanced cargo,
  • Brake systems wearing out from skipped maintenance intervals,
  • Speeding to stay ahead of delivery delays, and
  • Wide turns that catch cars, cyclists, or pedestrians off guard.

After a crash, many trucking companies immediately contact the person who was injured. Their insurance adjusters may ask you to give a recorded statement while you are still trying to recover. These recordings can later be used to reduce or deny your claim. Speaking with a Fulshear truck accident lawyer before giving any statement is a good idea. Our firm can handle the communication for you.

A commercial truck accident lawyer in Fulshear will also investigate what happened before the crash, not just the incident itself. That includes reviewing driving records, equipment checks, and company policies that may have allowed unsafe conditions to continue.

What Injuries Do Truck Accidents Cause in Fulshear?

An 18-wheeler doesn't need to be moving at high speed to cause serious physical damage. When commercial vehicles crash into passenger-sized cars, the medical toll can extend far beyond the day of the collision.

Injuries we frequently see from truck accidents include:

  • Concussions or other head injuries;
  • Spinal damage affecting the back, neck, or mobility;
  • Broken arms, legs, hips, or ribs;
  • Internal injuries that need emergency treatment;
  • Severe cuts, bruises, or burns; and
  • Partial loss of movement or coordination.

These injuries are painful, but they also change someone's day-to-day routine. A Fulshear semi-truck accident attorney can speak on your behalf when it comes to the long-term effects of those injuries and the cost of treatment, recovery, and time away from work.

What Have We Done for Truck Accident Victims?

Commercial carriers bring big resources to these cases. The team at Pierce Skrabanek focuses on delivering results that reflect everything the crash took away.

Recent outcomes include:

  • $2 million. Our client, an 18-wheeler driver injured by another trucker in Louisiana, needed two operations and faced ongoing recovery. We held both the other driver and his trucking company accountable.
  • $565,000. After a truck ran a stop sign and struck our client's vehicle in Dallas County, she required surgery for a back injury. The defense blamed an old medical file. We pushed through, and the final settlement exceeded initial offers that undervalued her claim.

The Fulshear trucking accident lawyers at Pierce Skrabanek review policies, company records, and driver logs to find facts that support the claim. Most people dealing with an accident like this don't have access to that information on their own, but we know what to request and where to look. 

A recent Martindale-Nolo survey found that outcomes tend to improve when victims seek legal support early. Our firm enters each case with that insight in mind.

If You Were Hit by a Truck in Fulshear, We Can Help

Truck accident claims often involve large companies with teams already trained to limit payouts. They may contact you right away, deny responsibility, or try to resolve everything for far less than your case is worth.

Before you agree to anything, speak with a Fulshear truck accident attorney who works with cases like yours. You can reach us at (832) 690-7000 or message us online. The consultation is free, and there is no risk in contacting us.

What to Do After a Truck Accident in Fulshear

The time after a collision can feel confusing or overwhelming. Injured drivers don't always know what to do, but a few basic steps can protect your health and your right to pursue damages:

  1. Call 911—this creates an accident report and brings help to the scene.
  2. Get checked out by a doctor, including common issues like whiplash or head pain.
  3. Take pictures of each vehicle, road damage, or visible injuries if it is safe to do so.
  4. Collect the driver's contact information, license number, and trucking company name.
  5. Do not give a recorded statement to the insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.

Insurance carriers and trucking companies sometimes try to lead the conversation in a way that protects them, not you. A Fulshear 18-wheeler accident lawyer works to make sure your voice is heard clearly and fairly.

What Trucking Regulations Apply to Crashes in Fulshear?

Large trucks must follow rules set at both the state and federal levels. These requirements are not suggestions—they deal with safety issues that can affect everyone else on the road.

Some of the most important rules and regulations include:

  • Drive time limits for long-haul truckers to make sure they get enough rest
  • Truck weight rules to avoid bridges and roadways being overburdened
  • Maintenance checks for lights, brakes, steering, and trailer parts
  • Hazardous material requirements if the truck is transporting flammable or dangerous cargo

When companies skip these steps, they put drivers in dangerous situations. A Fulshear tractor trailer accident lawyer can review whether laws were broken and how that contributed to the crash.

"We take these cases personally because no one riding down FM 1093 should get hit by a truck that never should've been on the road in the first place."

How a Fulshear Truck Accident Lawyer Builds the Case

These cases often involve multiple layers of responsibility, such as the truck driver, the company that owns the truck, the cargo hauler, or a separate logistics company. One of the first steps is to identify who had control over what, and how their decisions led to the crash.

A Fulshear big rig accident attorney at our firm can:

  • Get driving records, logs, and inspection reports;
  • Investigate which company was responsible for maintenance;
  • Speak with witnesses, review police reports, and request photos or footage;
  • Review how your injury affected your work life, family needs, and personal plans; and
  • Negotiate directly with insurance companies so you don't face them alone.

Texas law allows two years from the date of the accident, though starting earlier can make it easier to collect records, hear from witnesses, and build a complete case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I give a recorded statement to the company or their insurer?

No. This often works against victims. Insurance teams use those recordings to limit or question claims. Let your attorney handle communication.

What if the truck belongs to one company, but the driver works for another?

In that case, multiple companies may be responsible. Ownership, operator relationships, and lease agreements all factor into liability.

What evidence supports a truck accident claim?

GPS logs, driver hour records, truck inspections, black box data, crash photos, and medical reports help support the case. Our team works to collect all of it.

Do I pay anything upfront?

No. Our firm works on a contingency fee. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for your injuries.
