Fort Worth Truck Accident Attorney
18-Wheeler Crashes & Your Rights
A fully loaded semi-truck can weigh 20 to 30 times more than a passenger car, and that weight difference is exactly why truck accidents cause such devastating injuries. Mizani Law Firm has a strong track record handling truck accident cases in Fort Worth, Texas, including a $177,500 result for a military veteran who was rear-ended by a commercial truck at a railroad crossing. The insurance company tried to argue that our client had only sustained $804 in damage to his vehicle, but we fought for a fair recovery on his behalf. We prepare every truck accident case as if it's headed to trial, because that's what it takes to get the results our clients need.
Commercial trucks cause catastrophic damage. You don't have to face the trucking company alone. Call (214) 484-0609 for a free consultation.

Trucking Accident Cases in Fort Worth
Our Fort Worth personal injury firm takes on all types of commercial vehicle collision cases in Texas. We represent motorists, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and truck drivers themselves, exposing companies for the negligence and wrongdoing that causes traffic accidents in the first place.
We can help after incidents such as:
- Jackknife accidents, when a truck's trailer swings out at an angle to the cab, often during sudden braking or a skid.
- Truck rollovers, when the vehicle flips onto its side or roof, posing serious risk to the driver and nearby vehicles.
- Underride collisions, when a smaller vehicle slides underneath a truck's trailer, often causing catastrophic injuries.
- Head-on and rear-end truck collisions, which occur with far greater force given a truck's size.
- T-bone truck collisions, when a truck strikes the side of another vehicle, often at an intersection.
- Runaway trailer accidents, when a trailer detaches from the tractor or a driver loses control of it, creating a hazard for everyone nearby.
- Blind spot accidents, which happen when a truck driver fails to notice a nearby vehicle while changing lanes or turning.
- Tire blowouts, which cause a truck driver to lose control, scatter debris, and collide with other vehicles.
Truck accident injuries often mean a longer recovery, more medical bills, and more time away from work than an average car accident. Let our Fort Worth truck accident attorneys handle the investigation and the insurance fight while you focus on getting better.

Liability may start with the truck driver, but the trucking company can also be held liable if it failed to follow federal regulations, and other parties, such as a third-party maintenance company, may share responsibility depending on what caused the crash. A thorough investigation is usually needed to identify every liable party.

Seek medical attention first. Report the accident to local authorities so it's documented, and gather evidence and exchange information with everyone involved if you're able. Speak with a local truck accident attorney in Fort Worth before providing a statement to the trucking company's insurer.

Common injuries range from whiplash, fractures, and lacerations to spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, and, in the most severe cases, wrongful death. Emotional and psychological trauma often accompanies the physical injuries.

Yes. A trucking company's violation of FMCSA regulations, such as hours-of-service limits or inspection requirements, can be powerful evidence of negligence and often strengthens a claim beyond what a typical car accident case would offer.
