Llámenos Ahora — (713) 885-9787Trucking companies have legal teams and insurance adjusters who mobilize within hours of a crash — before you've even left the hospital. These cases involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, electronic logging devices, and black box data that disappears if you don't act fast. You need an attorney who understands all of it.
Commercial trucks are governed by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations — including Hours of Service limits, drug testing requirements, and mandatory maintenance schedules. Violations of these regulations become direct evidence of negligence in your case.
Unlike a car accident where one driver is typically at fault, a truck crash can involve the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, the freight broker, the maintenance company, and even the truck manufacturer — each with their own insurance policy. We identify every liable party.
Commercial trucks are equipped with Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) and event data recorders — the truck's "black box" — that capture speed, braking, Hours of Service violations, and driver behavior. Trucking companies can legally destroy this data within 30 to 90 days unless we send a spoliation letter immediately.
Large carriers have law firms and insurance adjusters on retainer who respond to crashes within hours. They are trained to minimize your payout. Having an experienced truck accident attorney from the first call is not optional — it is essential.
San Antonio sits at the intersection of three major Interstate Highways — I-35, I-10, and I-37 — making it one of the most heavily trafficked commercial freight corridors in the entire United States. In 2024, Bexar County ranked third in Texas for commercial vehicle accidents with 2,460 crashes. If your accident happened on any of these routes, your case has important location-specific evidence we know how to gather.
18-wheeler and semi-truck accidents in Bexar County in 2024 — maintaining San Antonio's rank as the 3rd most dangerous county in Texas for commercial vehicle crashes
People suffered severe, life-altering injuries in suspected serious commercial truck crashes in Bexar County in 2024 alone — many resulting in permanent disability
Texas accounts for over 13% of all fatal trucking accidents in the United States — the highest of any state. San Antonio's position on I-35 and I-10 makes it a primary hotspot.
Feet needed for a fully loaded 18-wheeler to stop at highway speed — compared to roughly 150 feet for a passenger car. This physics gap is why truck crashes cause such catastrophic injuries.
Orange Law represents victims of all types of commercial vehicle accidents across San Antonio, Bexar County, and South Texas.
The most common and most catastrophic commercial truck accidents. We handle the full spectrum — rear-end collisions, lane change crashes, jackknife accidents, and head-on impacts on I-35 and I-10.
Oil, gas, and chemical tankers are common on San Antonio's highways connecting to West Texas oil fields and the Port of Corpus Christi. Tanker rollovers and spills create catastrophic hazards and complex liability.
Improperly secured cargo on flatbed trucks creates extreme road hazards. San Antonio's booming construction industry means heavy equipment haulers are a constant highway presence — and a constant danger.
Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and other delivery vehicles involved in accidents. These cases involve the driver's personal liability, the delivery company's commercial policy, and sometimes app-based contractor classification disputes.
Tour buses, charter buses, and intercity coaches traveling through San Antonio's tourism corridors. Bus accidents often involve multiple injured passengers and complex multi-party insurance claims.
If a family member was killed in a truck accident, Texas law allows surviving spouses, children, and parents to pursue wrongful death claims for lost income, loss of companionship, funeral expenses, and more.
When a trucking company's defense team is already at the scene, you need an attorney who moves fast, knows federal trucking law, and fights for every dollar you deserve.
Trucking companies can destroy ELD data, black box records, driver logs, and maintenance records within 30 to 90 days. We send spoliation letters and preservation demands immediately — before critical evidence disappears. Speed is everything in truck accident cases.
Attorney Karan Joshi holds Board Certification in Personal Injury Trial Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization — a credential fewer than 3% of Texas attorneys hold. Trucking companies and their insurers recognize this credential and treat your case accordingly.
A significant portion of San Antonio's truck accident victims are Spanish-speaking — both passengers and truck drivers themselves. Attorney Joshi is bilingual, meaning your case is communicated and managed in the language you are most comfortable with. No translation gaps that cost you your case.
Most attorneys sue only the driver. We investigate and pursue every potentially liable party — the driver, the carrier, the freight broker, the cargo loader, the maintenance company, and the truck manufacturer if a defect was involved. More liable parties mean more insurance coverage and higher compensation.
Many truck accident victims in San Antonio have immigration concerns. As both a personal injury and immigration attorney, Karan Joshi can handle both sides of your situation — protecting you legally on every front simultaneously.
You pay nothing unless and until we recover compensation for you. No retainer. No hourly fees. No upfront costs. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict we secure — meaning we only get paid when you do.
Truck accident injuries are often catastrophic and life-altering. Texas law allows you to pursue full compensation for every way the crash has affected your life — not just your immediate medical bills.
Driver fatigue, distracted driving, impairment, speeding, and FMCSA violations are all grounds for direct driver liability in Texas.
Carriers are vicariously liable for their drivers' actions and directly liable for negligent hiring, training, supervision, and dispatch decisions.
Third-party loaders who improperly secure, balance, or overload cargo bear independent liability for accidents caused by cargo shifts or spills.
Third-party mechanics who fail to identify or repair dangerous brake, tire, or steering defects can be held responsible for resulting accidents.
If a defective part — brakes, tires, coupling mechanisms — contributed to your accident, the manufacturer faces product liability regardless of driver fault.
Brokers who hire unqualified or unsafe carriers can bear independent liability for accidents caused by the carriers they select.
Many of San Antonio's truck accident victims — both passengers and truck drivers themselves — are immigrants with immigration concerns. The fear of filing a claim is real, but it is costing people compensation they are legally entitled to.
Texas law protects all injured parties regardless of immigration status. If a truck driver's negligence injured you, you have the right to full compensation — documented or not. And because Orange Law handles both personal injury and immigration law in San Antonio, Attorney Karan Joshi can protect you on both fronts at once — something no other truck accident firm in San Antonio can offer.
