THE COMPLEXITIES OF 18-WHEELER CASES

Unraveling the Aftermath of a Commercial Truck Collision

These cases involve not just the driver but the trucking company, the cargo loaders, and layers of insurance carriers — all governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) and DOT rules. Insurance companies employ sophisticated tactics to minimize payouts, which is why these cases demand experienced, resourceful, aggressive representation.

J.A. Davis & Associates knows how to navigate these intricate legal roadways — holding negligent drivers and trucking companies responsible for rear-end collisions, jackknife accidents, underride accidents, and more on San Antonio’s busiest highways.
