Houston Truck Accident Lawyers
Hit by an 18-Wheeler in Houston? We Step In Immediately.
Truck accidents are different—and often far more devastating—than typical car crashes. With heavy commercial traffic on I-10, I-45, US-59/69, the 610 Loop, and Beltway 8, Houston sees serious collisions involving 18-wheelers, oilfield trucks, and delivery vehicles. At Granados & Associates, PLLC, we act fast to preserve evidence, protect your rights, and hold trucking companies accountable. If you were hit by a commercial truck anywhere in Texas, we are ready to level the playing field.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are More Complex
Truck accident claims involve more than just two drivers. Potentially responsible parties may include:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- Maintenance contractors
- Cargo loaders
- Vehicle manufacturers
These cases often require reviewing federal trucking regulations, driver logbooks, black box data, inspection reports, and hours-of-service records. Trucking companies deploy investigators quickly—so should you. Our team moves fast to secure evidence before it disappears.

When Truck Crashes Cause Life-Changing Harm
Due to their size and weight, semi-truck crashes often lead to catastrophic injuries, including spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, and paralysis. If your injuries are severe or permanent, we work with medical experts to build future-care costs into your claim. Learn more about these cases on our Catastrophic Injuries page.

Houston Truck Accident Questions, Answered Clearly
What should I do if I was hit by an 18-wheeler in Texas?
Seek medical attention immediately, report the crash, avoid giving recorded statements to insurers, and contact a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible to preserve evidence.
Are truck accident cases different from car accidents?
Yes. They involve federal regulations, larger insurance policies, and often multiple responsible parties. These cases require detailed investigation and technical evidence.
Who can be held liable in a trucking accident?
Liability may extend beyond the driver to the trucking company, maintenance providers, or cargo loaders—depending on what caused the crash.
What if I was partly at fault?
Texas follows comparative negligence rules. If you are less than 51% responsible, you may still recover compensation, though it may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How soon should I contact a lawyer?
Immediately. Trucking companies act fast to protect themselves. Early legal action protects your claim.
