Fort Worth Truck Override Accident Lawyers

A truck override — where a heavy commercial truck runs over or crushes a smaller vehicle — occurs when a trucker fails to maintain adequate following distance or cannot stop in time. At 80,000 pounds, even a fully braked 18-wheeler requires far more stopping distance than a passenger car. Override crashes crush vehicle cabins and cause catastrophic or fatal injuries. These crashes often involve FMCSA brake violations, hours-of-service fatigue, or distracted driving. We investigate every override crash for regulatory violations and pursue the carrier to the full limits of their insurance coverage.

Damages You Can Recover

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering and mental anguish
  • Physical impairment and disfigurement
  • Property damage

Statute of Limitations (§16.003): Two years from the date of injury. Comparative Fault (§33.001): Recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. No fee unless we win.

How soon should I contact a lawyer after my accident?
Immediately. Evidence — especially black-box data and driver logs in truck cases — can be overwritten or destroyed within days. Early legal involvement is critical.
Should I talk to the insurance company without a lawyer?
No. Trucking company insurers deploy rapid-response teams and claims adjusters immediately after serious crashes. You need legal representation before making any statement.
