      Types of Commercial Vehicle Accidents We Handle

      Our lawyers have decades of experience representing clients in a wide range of commercial vehicle accident claims, including: 

      • Vans: We handle claims involving commercial vans that collide with smaller vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians due to their larger size and limited visibility.
      • Dump trucks: Accidents with dump trucks can result from improper loading or mechanical failures, which can cause hazardous road conditions that lead to crashes.
      • Box trucks: Cases involving box trucks generally stem from driver fatigue or unsecured cargo, creating risks for surrounding vehicles.
      • Tank trucks: We manage claims involving tank trucks, which can pose unique dangers due to their heavy loads and potential hazardous material spills.
      • Fuel trucks: Fuel truck accidents are particularly concerning due to the risk of fire and explosion, often requiring specialized legal expertise.
      • Medium-duty trucks: Due to their weight and size, these trucks can cause severe accidents, often resulting in significant damage and injury.
      • Oil and gas transportation trucks: These vehicles are integral to the local economy, but are also hazardous due to their size and volatile cargo.
      • F-150s/250s: Common utility vehicles like F-150s and 250s can cause serious damage in an accident, leading to complicated liability issues that necessitate legal counsel.

      What Causes Commercial Vehicle Accidents in Odessa?

      Collisions involving semi-trucks, eighteen-wheelers, and other commercial vehicles are extremely common in Odessa. Texas is especially prone to commercial vehicle accidents due to the large volume of oil rigs and plant refineries in the area. 

      The Permian Basin produces over 40% of the nation’s oil supply and sees heavy traffic due to oil and gas transportation, increasing the likelihood of serious accidents. This region has a crash rate nearly double that in other parts of Texas. Traffic fatalities on the Texas oil patch account for almost one in four roadway deaths in the state, making it crucial to exercise caution and know your rights in the event of an accident.

      What Makes Commercial Vehicle Accidents So Complex?

      Unlike traditional car accidents, commercial vehicle accidents often involve larger entities like trucking companies, delivery services, or other businesses with extensive resources and legal teams dedicated to minimizing liability, making it more challenging to recover damages in a claim. Commercial vehicle accidents differ from traditional car accident claims in several ways, including: 

      • Regulatory compliance: Commercial vehicles are subject to strict federal and state regulations, including those set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Working with an attorney who is knowledgeable about these regulations is critical to obtaining a favorable outcome.
      • Multiple parties: These cases often involve numerous parties, such as the driver, the company, maintenance providers, and insurers. Each party may bear partial responsibility, complicating the process of determining fault.
      • Higher stakes: Due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles, these accidents typically result in more severe injuries and property damage, leading to higher claims for compensation. A skilled lawyer can work to calculate all available damages to ensure you’re compensated fairly and fully.
