New Braunfels is known for its vibrant community, from tubing on the Comal River to dancing at Gruene Hall. However, its location along I-35, a major trucking route, brings with it dangerous 18-wheeler accidents that can shatter lives. At A2X Law, we're locals who understand the impact of these crashes on our community. We fight to hold negligent truck drivers and companies accountable for their actions. After more than 20 years in practice, we have recovered tens of thousands of dollars for New Braunfels residents related to medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress. Call us at (361) 452-1279   for help with your case. 

The Dangers of 18-Wheeler Accidents  

I-35, running through Comal County, is an important freight highway, and in 2022, the Texas Department of Transportation reported that commercial vehicles were involved in more than thirty percent of traffic accidents. The common causes of 18-wheeler accidents in New Braunfels include: 

• Driver Fatigue: Truckers exceeding hours-of-service limits contribute to 15% of crashes. 
• Poor Maintenance: Worn brakes or bald tires cause deadly collisions. 
• Overloaded Trucks: Excess cargo makes stopping difficult, especially on FM 306's turns. 
• Reckless Driving: Speeding to meet tight schedules accounts for nearly 20% of truck accidents. 
• Truck accident cases are complicated. They involve federal regulations and multiple parties, including drivers, trucking companies, and manufacturers. We will carefully review your logbooks, black box data, and maintenance records to develop a strong case on your behalf. 

Compensation for 18-Wheeler Accident Victims 

Due to their severity, 18-wheeler accidents often result in substantial compensation. You may be entitled to: 

• Medical Costs: Emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future treatment. 
• Lost Income: Wages lost from missed work or reduced earning capacity. 
• Pain and Suffering: Physical pain and emotional distress caused by the crash. 
• Property Damage: Repairs or replacement for your damaged vehicle. 
• Punitive Damages: Awarded in cases of extreme negligence, like willful safety violations. 

Texas's comparative fault rule allows recovery if you're less than 51% at fault. Still, trucking companies often shift blame to reduce payouts. We use hard evidence to protect your claim and maximize your compensation. 

Your Post-Crash Checklist 

1. Prioritize Safety and Call 911: Move to a safe area and report the accident to New Braunfels police to ensure an official report. 
2. Document the Scene: Take photos of the truck, your vehicle, injuries, and skid marks. Record the trucking company's name and DOT number on the cab. 
3. Avoid Insurance Talks: Trucking company adjusters may pressure you to settle for a low amount. Don't give statements without legal advice. 
4. Get Medical Attention: See a doctor immediately, as truck crashes often cause hidden injuries like spinal damage or concussions. 
5. Contact A2X Law: Contact us before you sign anything. We will help you to navigate the complex claims process and help you get paid!
