Because of the repeated and unprecedented success that our truck and 18-wheeler accident lawyers have achieved for our clients, trucking companies and their lawyers take our clients and their cases much more seriously.
Why? They know that our Truck Accident Attorneys will never be outspent or overworked, that we take cases to trial—and set records, and we refuse to settle a case unless our clients and their families are fully compensated for ALL their injuries, losses and damages.
When we’re hired in a semi-truck or 18-wheeler accident case, our Truck Accident Lawyers immediately obtain the truck driver’s logbook, the truck’s black box, and the ECM records and send an accident reconstruction team to inspect the scene and the vehicles involved in the crash.
This evidence not only allows our 18 Wheeler Accident Lawyers to determine whether the trucking company or its driver violated federal safety regulations and state transportation laws, but it also provides us with physical evidence that establishes how fast the truck was traveling at impact, if and when it braked, and whether the driver was fatigued or distracted at the time of impact.
We then consult with both our client’s treating doctors and our medical experts to determine the nature and severity of our client’s injuries, the doctors and specialists who are most qualified to treat them, and the cost and frequency of medical care that our clients will require in the future.
After obtaining evidence proving how the crash occurred and the effect that the crash had—and will continue to have—on our client’s health and future earning potential, we work with our experts and engineers to determine what the truck driver could and should have done to avoid the crash, and the total amount of compensation needed to ensure that our clients are able to care and provide for themselves and their families for the rest of their lives.
If the trucking company refuses to offer a settlement that fully compensates our clients and their families for their injuries and losses, we take the case to trial—where our 18-wheeler accident attorneys remain undefeated.
If you or a loved one were injured or tragically killed in a truck or 18-wheeler accident, our Semi Truck Accident Attorneys will devote whatever time and resources are necessary to hold the trucking company accountable and ensuring that you and your family are fully compensated for all your injuries and damages.

As our track record confirms, the verdicts and settlements that our Truck Accident Lawyers have won for truck and 18-wheeler accident victims across Texas consistently set records as the largest in the state and the trucking company’s corporate history.
Ryan Zehl secured a $23,500,000 settlement, the largest Truck Accident Settlement in Texas, on behalf of a 34 year-old man who was severely injured after being hit head-on by a large commercial truck.
The settlement, which is also the largest in the company’s corporate history, will ensure that our client receives the best medical care available and is able to provide for himself and his family for the rest of his life.

Ryan Zehl, Lamar DeLong, and Mike Streich recovered a record-setting $20 Million wrongful death settlement on behalf of a wife who tragically lost her 64 year-old husband when he was hit head-on by a distracted 18-wheeler driver on a two-lane FM road approximately 40 miles northeast of Houston.
The day before we started trial, the trucking company refused to offer more than $7 million to settle the case. 3 weeks later, and just minutes before we started our closing arguments, the defendant almost tripled their settlement offer to $20 million.
Our 18 Wheeler Accident Lawyers recently reached a record-setting (and confidential) settlement for our client and her 4 year-old boy after her husband was tragically killed by an 18-wheeler in Jefferson County, Texas while on his way to work.
After several depositions and working with the Texas DPS officers who investigated the crash, our Truck Accident Attorneys found that the trucking company had violated federal and state safety regulations by allowing the truck driver—who had already been on the road for over 14 hours at the time of the crash—to continue driving. The case settled several weeks later and remains the largest wrongful death settlement in the trucking company’s history.
Our Truck Accident Lawyers recovered the largest verdict in R&L’s corporate history after a 5-week trial against R&L Carriers, the largest privately owned trucking company in the United States. Our client was rear-ended by one of R&L’s drivers while driving on I-20, just outside of Weatherford, Texas. The impact caused her vehicle to roll-over multiple times before finally coming to a rest on the highway’s shoulder.
R&L immediately denied responsibility for the crash, offered less than $150,000 to settle the case, and called a team of over 15 experts at trial—including neurologist, neuropsychologists, orthopedists, and accident reconstructionists—to dispute our client’s injuries and attempt to prove that the crash was “unavoidable.”
Zehl & Associates secured a $37.5 Million Verdict after a two-week trial against Oncor Electrical Company for the family of a truck driver who was tragically killed in a collision in Dallas, Texas.
An Oncor Electric Company lineman was driving a service truck on I-635 West when he slammed into the back of our client’s 18 wheeler, which was disabled between the highway shoulder and the far outside lane.
Our client was outside his vehicle inspecting it when the collision occurred.
While almost every personal injury attorney claims to have experience handling truck accidents, there are very few who have actually taken a trucking company to trial—and even less who have won record-setting verdicts for their clients.
Why is that important? Because, despite what some may think, trucking cases are nothing like car accidents.
In addition to substantial differences in the size and weight of the vehicles, truck accident cases are won or lost based on the attorney’s understanding of the Federal Safety Regulations, the technology that trucking companies and their drivers use to monitor the movement, speed, fuel consumption and driving activity of the trucks, and the lawyer’s willingness and ability to take your case to trial—and win.
In addition to having won Billions for our clients, our Truck Accident Lawyers have consistently recovered the #1 largest verdicts and settlements in history against trucking and transportation companies and repeatedly distinguished our firm as the Best Truck Accident Lawyers in the United States.
With Billions won and the largest truck and 18-wheeler accident verdicts and settlements in history, our Truck Accident Lawyers have proven that we don’t Just Win for truck accident victims and their families – We Set Records.

We’ll answer your questions, explain your rights, and make sure you have all the information you need to decide what’s best for you and your family.
The bottom line is that the trucking company, its insurance company, and their teams of attorneys will do anything to avoid paying you and your family the damages you deserve. They’ll blame you for the crash, lose important evidence, and question and downplay the seriousness of your injuries.
Following a serious accident, it’s not uncommon for trucking companies to “misplace” and destroy driving logs, training records, and other evidence that proves the company and its driver were at fault for the accident. No matter how much the trucking company and its insurer promise to make things right, you need to remember that they’re only interested in protecting their bottom line, which they achieve through paying you and your family as little as possible.
Having successfully recovered the largest truck and 18-wheeler accident verdicts and settlement in history, we know what it takes to win and have the resources and manpower to devote all the time necessary to ensure that you receive the maximum recovery possible. If the insurance company refuses to offer you and your family a settlement that fully compensates you for all your injuries and damages, our Truck Accident Lawyers won’t hesitate to take your case to trial, where our lawyers remain undefeated.

There are lots of personal injury law firms that advertise for truck and 18-wheeler accident cases. But the reality is, very few have actually taken big trucking and insurance companies to trial, and less than a handful have consistently set records for their truck accident victims across Texas.

If you or a loved one were seriously injured in a truck or 18-wheeler accident, the insurance company will never pay you the full value of your case unless you’re represented by an Experienced Truck Accident Lawyer with a track record of winning
The steps involved with filing a Truck Accident Lawsuit include:
Because of the serious hazards that 18-wheelers and other commercial trucks pose to other drivers and passengers on the road, trucking companies and their drivers are required to comply with a complex set of federal, state, and local safety regulations that govern everything from the number of hours that truck drivers can spend on duty and driving to the background checks that trucking companies must conduct on their drivers and the inspection and maintenance they must perform on their fleet.
These regulations are called the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and provide the foundation for your case against both the truck driver and the trucking company.
We’ve identified some of regulations that are most commonly involved in truck and 18 wheeler accident cases below:
Having successfully represented thousands of truck and 18-wheeler accident victims in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and across the United States, our Houston Truck Accident Lawyers have a thorough understanding of the federal and state regulations that apply to the commercial trucking industry, as well as the tactics trucking companies and their insurers use to avoid taking responsibility for a crash.

After a truck or 18-wheeler crash, occupants of smaller, passenger vehicles are much less likely to walk away uninjured. When you combine the severity of a crash victim’s injuries with the trucking company’s reckless conduct, the trucking company can easily be facing a multi-million dollar lawsuit. As a result, the trucking company and its insurer will do everything possible to avoid responsibility, including denying fault, hiding evidence, and blaming the victims they’ve injured or tragically killed.
When a reckless truck or 18-wheeler has robbed you of your ability to care and provide for yourself and your family, you can’t put your future in the trucking company’s hands. Victims of large truck accidents require specialized medical care, financial assistance, and experienced lawyers with the resources and commitment to not only fight, but win record-setting verdicts and settlements.
