Houston Truck Accident Attorneys
Fighting for Victims of Serious Truck Accidents
Semi-trucks can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds. When truck accidents occur on Houston roadways, the aftermath can be devastating for those involved. When truck drivers operate recklessly, make hasty decisions, or fail to follow trucking regulations, the driver as well as their employer are often to blame. If you were hurt in a truck crash, it’s important to hire an experienced truck accident attorney right away.
Not only can the lawyers at SJ Injury Attorneys support you through this time, but we have the proven resources and representation to advocate for our clients against large trucking corporations, who have their own experience and legal teams to fight against paying you fair compensation. Trucking companies and their insurers move quickly to protect themselves after a crash, often sending investigators to the scene within hours to gather evidence in their favor. You need a legal team that moves just as fast. You need to hold the at-fault parties accountable for your injuries and your pain and suffering, and our legal team can provide the help you need.

What Causes Truck Accidents on Houston Roadways
Truck drivers are held to high standards, often charged with a great deal of responsibility. Many of these truckers work for companies that expect their products to be delivered on an outrageously tight schedule. Drivers may be encouraged by their employers to test their limits by working over the mileage or hour limits set by federal law. Whether through fatigue, relying on controlled substances, or disregarding traffic rules while under time pressure, these truck drivers may perform dangerous maneuvers on the road without considering the repercussions to the passenger vehicles around them.
Common causes of truck accidents include:
- Driving while fatigued
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Distracted driving
- Speeding or reckless lane changing
- Cargo falling from the truck
- Improper lane switching
- Failing to take safety precautions
- Poor truck maintenance

“Awesome Law firm!! Brenda was amazing in helping manage my case and if for some reason she wasn't available, Chris or Dawn was immediately there to help me. I see some complaints on here about not returning phone calls? I never had an issue. Sometimes I would have to leave a message, but they always got back to me with updates. My case took a while but totally worth the wait because they never just took whatever was offered.”- Amy G.

“Mr. Soileau represented me in a car accident that occurred in November 2014 where I suffered a herniated disc to my neck requiring surgery. After surgery the medical bills were piling up which caused me quite a bit of stress worrying about how all of the medical bills were going to get paid. As my case was complicated and took almost 2 years to work through, Mr. Soileau and his staff were very understanding of my situation throughout the whole ordeal. They took the time to answer my questions, assist with getting the appropriate medical care and kept me in the loop throughout the process. The outcome was much better than I expected. I highly recommend Mr. Soileau and will refer my family and friends if they ever find themselves in need of his services.”- J.N.

“I got rear-ended by a big SUV that did not have insurance and to my surprise, Leticia, the case manager, figured out I had personal injury insurance. She took care of me from start to finish. The doctors and chiropractors they recommended took away the injuries caused by the accident. I became a new man with a new strong lower back and I received a nice surprising settlement amount that I wasn’t expecting during the holidays.”- Larry R.
