Houston Truck Accident Lawyers: Why a Proven Track Record Matters

Houston Truck Accident Lawyers: Why a Proven Track Record Matters

Undefeated Houston Truck Accident Attorneys 

After a large truck or 18-wheeler accident in Houston, the stakes couldn’t be higher. While your family is completely overwhelmed by the life-altering consequences of the crash, the trucking company will stop at nothing to avoid accountability and pay you as little as possible for your injuries and losses.

Only the Best Houston Truck Accident Attorneys—those with a proven history of record-setting victories against the largest trucking companies in the world — know how to stand up to these corporate giants, fight back, and secure the full compensation and justice you deserve.

At Zehl & Associates, we understand that our clients’ futures depend upon our success. That’s why we work tirelessly to hold negligent trucking companies fully accountable, backed by our 100% success rate and Billions won. We never back down — and our track record proves it.

Read on to discover why an attorney’s history of success matters and how working with our Houston truck accident lawyers can make all the difference in protecting your rights and maximizing your recovery.

What Is a “Proven” Track Record?

When we refer to a lawyer’s “proven track record,” we mean more than experience—we’re talking about results. A proven track record reflects a history of successfully handling complex truck accident cases and the dedication and willingness to take those cases to trial and win.

Truck accidents are far more complex than standard car accidents. They demand extensive specialization and expertise—not just in Texas law and federal safety regulations, but in securing record-setting verdicts and settlements against the most powerful trucking companies in the world.

At Zehl & Associates, our undefeated track record for truck accident victims speaks for itself:

  • Billions in Compensation recovered for truck accident victims and their families across Texas, Louisiana, and the U.S.
  • The Largest Verdicts and Settlements in History for catastrophic truck accident injuries and wrongful death cases.
  • 100% Success Rate at Trial, proving we’re ready to go the distance when trucking companies and their insurance companies refuse to offer what our clients deserve.

Hiring a lawyer with a proven track record means putting your future in the hands of a team that doesn’t just win—we set records. And we have the results to prove it.

What to Look For in a Law Firm’s Track Record

Though many law firms claim they handle truck accident cases, few have the experience, resources, and knowledge to stand up to the trucking industry. And fewer still can ensure they recover the maximum compensation possible for your injuries and losses.

One quick way to find out if a law firm truly specializes in truck accidents is to look at their results, which will show you exactly if an attorney can handle the complexities of truck accident cases, which are among the most challenging in all of personal injury law.

Here’s what to look for:

1. Ability to Maximize Compensation

Truck accident claims often result in larger settlements and verdicts due to the severe injuries, fatalities, and complex liability issues involved. However, standing up to a trucking company and its insurers is extremely difficult — even for many personal injury attorneys. 

A firm’s past results will show you whether they have the expertise to handle your case effectively. Ask:

  • Have they recovered multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts specifically for truck accident victims?
  • Have their cases led to record-setting results that hold trucking companies fully accountable?
  • Have their successes contributed to changes in federal and state safety regulations, making the roads safer for everyone?

At Zehl & Associates, we’ve successfully represented thousands of truck accident victims, securing Billions, including the #1 largest truck accident recoveries in Texas. When trucking companies refuse to do what’s right, we take them to court — and we don’t just win. We set records.

Our proven track record has distinguished our Truck and 18 Wheeler Accident Lawyers as the best in the country and, most importantly, ensured that our clients and their families will never have to worry about their financial futures again.

2. Ability to Combat Trucking Company Tactics

Trucking companies and their insurers are focused on one thing: protecting their profits. They will do whatever it takes to avoid responsibility, often resorting to underhanded tactics like:

  • Rushing victims into accepting lowball settlements before the full extent of their injuries—and future medical needs—are even known.
  • “Losing,” destroying, or concealing critical evidence, such as black box data, maintenance records, and driver logs.
  • Blaming the victim or arguing that pre-existing conditions are to blame for their injuries.

The best truck accident lawyers anticipate these tactics, act immediately to protect your rights, and build the strongest possible case to pursue full compensation for all of your injuries and losses—past, present, and future.

At Zehl & Associates, we combine:

  • A deep understanding of the trucking industry, including Federal Safety Regulations  and modern onboard technology,
  • Immediate action to secure critical evidence the trucking company doesn’t want us to find,
  • A network of top medical experts and doctors who assess the full extent of your injuries, determine the medical care you’ll need now and for the rest of your life, and help us prove the true value of your case.

Truck accident cases are often won or lost based on an attorney’s ability to prove what happened, how the crash could have been prevented, and the long-term consequences for victims and their families. Our undefeated record demonstrates that we know how to uncover the evidence, fight back against trucking company tactics, and secure the maximum compensation possible to protect your future.

3. Ability to Hold The At-Fault Parties FULLY Accountable

Truck accidents often involve multiple at-fault parties, including:

  • Truck drivers who may have violated federal Hours of Service rules.
  • Trucking companies that cut corners on maintenance, safety, and driver training.
  • Manufacturers of defective truck parts or equipment.

A law firm with experience in truck accident litigation will have the resources to conduct thorough investigations, identify all liable parties, and hold them fully accountable for their negligence.

At Zehl & Associates, our undefeated record at trial has greatly contributed to our ability to negotiate the maximum compensation possible for our clients, and to make sure the responsible parties are never able to hurt anyone ever again.

Because of our repeated and unprecedented success and reputation, trucking companies and their lawyers take our clients and their cases much more seriously. They know we will never accept an inadequate settlement offer. As a result, many of our cases settle ahead of trial, and often for record amounts.

Additionally, our firm’s efforts don’t just secure justice for our clients—they contribute to broader safety reforms that help prevent future accidents and unsafe behavior. Our historic wins have even prompted federal regulators to reevaluate how they screen drivers for obstructive sleep apnea and driver fatigue, ensuring that trucking companies are held to higher safety standards.

4. An Unwavering Commitment to Clients and Trial Success

Truck accident cases can take time to resolve, and securing maximum compensation often means going to trial. You need a law firm with the resources, experience, and determination to fight for you every step of the way. 

At Zehl & Associates, our 100% success rate at trial reflects both our skill and our unwavering commitment to our clients. From day one, we:

  • Help with reasonable living expenses while your case is pending,
  • Ensure you have access to the best doctors and medical treatments, and
  • Assist with financial planning after we secure a record-setting result.

We win because we work harder than our opponents, understand trucking company tactics inside and out, and refuse to settle for anything less than full compensation for all your injuries and losses.  But we go above and beyond because of our clients, who are more than cases — they’re family.
