How We Prove Liability

Establishing liability in commercial truck accident cases requires a thorough investigation into the driver, the carrier, and any third party maintenance or loading companies. Electronic logging device data, dashcam footage, and GPS records are critical in proving negligence. The doctrine of negligent entrustment may also apply when a trucking company allows an unqualified driver to operate its vehicles.

Texas Legal Framework

Texas follows the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations that govern commercial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds. The Texas Department of Transportation enforces commercial vehicle standards under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 621 regarding weight and size limits. Vicarious liability principles under Texas common law allow injured parties to pursue claims against the motor carrier as well as the individual driver.
