New Braunfels · I-35 Truck Claims
Hit by an 18-wheeler on I-35?
Commercial truck cases move fast. The carrier may have investigators working before the wreckage is cleared. Our team helps injured people preserve evidence, identify every responsible company, and deal with insurers from the start.
What may matter
Truck wrecks are not oversized car cases.
An 18-wheeler claim can involve the driver, motor carrier, trailer owner, maintenance vendors, cargo contractors, and multiple insurers. Electronic records and company documents may matter as much as the crash report.

Evidence that can disappear
Driver logs, electronic control data, dispatch messages, inspection records, dash-camera video, and nearby surveillance may be overwritten or lost.
More than one responsible party
The name on the tractor may not identify every company whose decisions contributed to the crash.
Serious injuries, serious pressure
Commercial insurers often seek recorded statements and broad authorizations early. You do not have to navigate those requests alone.
What to do now
Move carefully. Preserve the facts.
Get medical care
Put urgent health needs first and follow the treatment plan given by your providers.
Save what you have
Keep photographs, videos, witness details, the crash-report number, damaged property, and every insurance message.
Avoid guessing
Do not speculate about speed, fault, or the full extent of injuries in recorded conversations or public posts.
Start the investigation
A prompt review can identify records to preserve and the companies and policies that need to be examined.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What makes an I-35 truck crash claim different?
Commercial trucking cases may involve federal safety records, electronic data, company policies, maintenance history, cargo decisions, and several businesses or insurance policies.
What if I was hit near an entrance ramp or construction zone?
The exact roadway design, traffic controls, merging movements, work-zone conditions, and actions of each driver can all matter. Preserve photographs and the location details if you safely can.
Should I give the trucking insurer a recorded statement?
You can provide basic claim information without guessing about fault or injuries. Consider legal advice before a detailed recorded statement or broad medical authorization.
What if the truck driver was working for another company?
Trucking operations often use contractors, leased equipment, brokers, maintenance vendors, and cargo companies. The investigation should follow the records rather than assume only the driver is responsible.
What does the consultation cost?
The consultation is free. If the firm accepts the matter on a contingency basis, attorney fees are collected only if money is recovered, subject to the written agreement.
