Fort Worth Truck Accident Attorneys

Commercial trucks can weigh more than 80,000 pounds. When they collide with smaller vehicles, the results are often catastrophic. Even at lower speeds, the sheer force can cause life-altering injuries or death. Fort Worth’s location along major shipping corridors—like I-35, I-20, and Loop 820—means heavy truck traffic is part of everyday life. Drivers are under pressure to deliver fast. Companies cut corners. And when safety fails, innocent people suffer.

Truck accidents come in many forms, and each type brings its own challenges when it comes to proving liability and seeking full compensation. At Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, we’ve handled cases involving a wide range of commercial vehicle crashes, including:

• Rear-End Collisions – Often caused by brake failure, fatigue, or distracted driving, these crashes can leave smaller vehicles with catastrophic damage.
• Wide-Turn and Blind Spot Accidents – Large trucks have substantial blind spots. When drivers swing wide or change lanes without proper clearance, they can cause devastating side-swipe impacts.
• Underride Collisions – These tragic incidents occur when a smaller car slides under the trailer of a truck, often resulting in fatal head or neck injuries.
• Jackknife Accidents – When a truck’s trailer folds in on itself, it can sweep across multiple lanes and cause multi-vehicle pileups.
• Lost Load or Shifting Cargo Crashes – Improperly secured freight can spill onto the roadway or shift during transit, leading to rollovers or loss of control.

Each of these accidents can lead to serious injuries, emotional trauma, and overwhelming financial stress. We take the time to investigate what happened and fight to hold every liable party accountable—so you can focus on healing.

Truck accident cases are rarely simple. The driver might be responsible—but so might their employer, a maintenance company, or a contractor. Sometimes multiple parties share liability. That’s why these cases require immediate action.

Critical evidence—like black box data, dash cam footage, and maintenance logs—can disappear quickly. We move fast to preserve everything and hold the right people accountable. You don’t have to know who’s at fault right now—that’s what we’re here for. We’ll investigate every angle and guide you through your options with care.

You Have Options, and We Are Here to Help

After a truck accident, it’s common to wonder, “Was any of this my fault?” Maybe you’re second-guessing what happened or feeling pressured by the other driver’s insurance company. That’s not uncommon, and it’s exactly why it helps to have legal protection early on.

Texas law allows you to recover compensation as long as you’re less than 51% responsible for the crash. You may still be entitled to significant damages even if you share some fault. Learn more about Texas comparative fault rules under Civil Practice and Remedies Code §33.001.
