Truck accidents are all too common on North Texas roads, particularly in high-traffic corridors like I-35E, I-30, and the LBJ Freeway. When these accidents are caused by negligence—whether by a truck driver, a trucking company, or a third party—victims have the right to pursue financial compensation.
At Winocour Law, our Dallas truck accident attorneys bring tenacity, deep experience, and trial-tested legal strategies to each case. We understand the stakes: catastrophic injuries, permanent disabilities, and even wrongful deaths. Our firm stands on a legal tradition going back 135 years—and we’re here to fight for you.

Common Causes of Dallas Truck Accidents
Most truck accidents happen as a result of:
- Careless or reckless driving: Speeding, tailgating, and unsafe lane changes
- Distracted driving: Texting, eating, or other inattention behind the wheel
- Driving under the influence: Impairment by alcohol or drugs
- Driver fatigue: Long hours behind the wheel without adequate rest
- Improperly loaded cargo: Violations of federal cargo regulations can lead to jackknifes or rollovers
- Neglected maintenance: Worn brakes, bald tires, or missing safety features
- Negligent hiring/training: Unqualified or poorly supervised drivers
Who Is Liable in a Truck Accident Case?
As our investigative team determines how your accident happened, we can begin to identify the parties responsible for the injuries you have suffered. In many cases, multiple parties may be liable.
Truck Driver
Drivers who violate traffic laws, FMCSA regulations, or company policies may be held personally liable. Their actions can trigger personal and employer-provided insurance coverage.
Trucking Company (Carrier)
Carriers are required to hire qualified drivers, maintain safe equipment, and follow federal and state regulations. If they cut corners, allow unqualified drivers behind the wheel, or neglect critical safety practices, they can be held accountable.
Parts or Vehicle Manufacturers
Defective parts, from brakes to steering columns, can contribute to a crash. We work with engineering experts to pursue product liability claims against negligent manufacturers.
Cargo Loaders
Improper weight distribution or unsecured cargo—often handled by third-party contractors—can destabilize a truck. These entities may be liable when cargo issues contribute to a collision.
Maintenance Providers
If outsourced maintenance providers fail to identify or address serious issues, they too may share the liability.
Types of Compensation in Truck Accident Claims
As your truck accident attorney in Dallas, our goal is to secure the maximum compensation allowed under Texas law. This may include:
- Medical expenses: ER care, surgeries, physical therapy, medication, future treatments
- Lost wages: Income missed during recovery
- Loss of earning potential: Diminished ability to work in the future
- Pain and suffering: Chronic pain and physical hardship
- Mental and emotional distress: Trauma, anxiety, PTSD
- Property damage: Vehicle repair or replacement
- Loss of enjoyment of life: Inability to return to hobbies or daily activities
- Wrongful death benefits: Funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship
Truck crashes often result in catastrophic injuries like brain damage, paralysis, or amputations. These cases require attorneys who know how to calculate long-term damages and argue persuasively before insurers and, if needed, juries.
Why Trial Experience Matters in Truck Accident Cases
Not all attorneys are ready to take your case to court. But at Winocour Law, we have a reputation for our trial accumen. What that means for your case:
- Insurance companies take claims more seriously when we’re on the other side
- We refuse to accept lowball offers—we fight for full value
- We understand complex trucking regulations and multi-party litigation
- We know how to present your story effectively to a jury
This is not the time to gamble on a settlement-focused firm. With so much at stake, you need a team that’s ready to go the distance.
