Common Causes

  • Drivers unfamiliar with the truck size hitting overpasses or low clearances

  • Inexperienced drivers operating commercial vehicles without adequate CDL training
  • Tight delivery schedules leading to aggressive driving behavior
  • Rollover accidents caused by top heavy loads on curves

Typical Injuries

  • Crush injuries from the truck weight and size
  • Head and neck injuries from high impact collisions
  • Broken bones including ribs, pelvis, and extremities
  • Soft tissue injuries and severe bruising
  • Lacerations from cargo debris
  • Spinal injuries and chronic back pain

How We Prove Liability

Box truck operators and their employers can be held liable when accidents result from negligent hiring, poor vehicle maintenance, or failure to train drivers properly. Companies that rent box trucks to the public may also face claims if they fail to screen drivers or provide safety instructions. Evidence from onboard GPS tracking, maintenance logs, and driver qualification files can be used to establish negligence.

Texas Legal Framework

Box trucks between 10,001 and 26,000 pounds fall under Texas commercial vehicle regulations but may not require a commercial driver license depending on their configuration. Texas Transportation Code Chapter 621 governs vehicle size and weight requirements that apply to box trucks operating on Texas roads. Employers of box truck drivers can be held vicariously liable under Texas respondeat superior principles when the driver was acting within the course and scope of employment.
