Houston Truck Accident Attorney
Last updated on August 27, 2026
Collisions involving commercial trucks – due to their massive size and weight – cause severe damage in accidents, leaving victims with catastrophic life-altering injuries and even fatalities. My name is Rafael Quesada, and I am a commercial truck accident lawyer at RQ Law Group, PLLC, fighting for victims who have suffered due to truck driver negligence, mechanical failures and safety violations.
Common Causes Of 18-Wheeler Accidents
When clients turn to me, they often rely on my understanding of Texas personal injury law and attentive service in difficult times. There’s so much confusion, and one of the first questions many of my clients have at this time is “How did this happen?” The fact is that many 18-wheeler crashes occur due to negligence or violations of federal trucking regulations. Some common causes include:
- Driver fatigue and violations of federal hours-of-service laws
- Improper truck maintenance leading to brake or tire failures
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Negligent hiring and training of truck drivers
If a trucking company or driver is at fault, I will gather evidence, obtain black box data and reconstruct the accident to build a strong case.
Who Is Liable In A Truck Accident?
Liability in a truck accident case is usually the trickiest and most convoluted aspect of the entire experience. In a normal car accident, there is usually one other party to consider in case of fault. In a truck accident case, there can be many more, including:
- The truck driver for reckless driving or rule violations
- The trucking company for failing to follow safety regulations
- Truck part manufacturers for defective components
- Cargo loaders for improperly secured loads
As your personal injury lawyer, I will aggressively pursue compensation from all responsible parties to maximize your recovery.
Compensation For 18-Wheeler Accident Victims
The goal for your case is to get compensation for the injuries you suffered in the accident, and that will be fought tooth and nail by the insurance and trucking companies. But I want you to know that you have rights, and I’ll fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
I will work to maximize your claim and the damages you can recover, which include the monetary or “economic” damages, such as:
- Medical bills and ongoing rehabilitation
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Property damage
I also pursue compensation for noneconomic damages, including pain and suffering, emotional distress and loss of quality of life, that accompany these accidents.
Combined, these damages can add up to a massive amount of compensation. Because there is so much you could potentially receive, you have to take every step available to you to secure what you deserve, and I will be there to help you.
