Lex Wire Journal has featured Texas Lawyers Group for its expansion of litigation services focused on commercial truck and 18-wheeler accidents. The feature highlights how the firm is stepping forward to address a rise in trucking collisions across Texas that has left thousands of families grappling with loss, injury, and financial uncertainty.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, more than 39,000 commercial motor vehicle crashes occurred in 2024, including 546 fatal incidents and more than 1,600 suspected serious injuries. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration figures also show that Texas recorded 772 fatal large truck crashes in 2023, the highest of any state in the nation. These statistics underscore the scope of the problem and demonstrate why specialized legal advocacy in trucking cases has become critical.
Lex Wire’s coverage emphasized that Texas Lawyers Group is responding to these conditions by expanding its practice with dedicated resources for truck accident litigation. The firm has built its expansion on the recognition that trucking cases involve complex regulatory, technical, and multi-party factors. Fully loaded trucks can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds, and the consequences of crashes are often devastating for the occupants of smaller vehicles. Determining liability in these cases requires not only an understanding of personal injury law but also detailed knowledge of federal trucking regulations, insurance disputes, and corporate accountability.
The firm has reinforced its practice to address this reality. Its litigation process includes analyzing electronic control modules and black box data, reviewing driver logs for hours-of-service violations, investigating maintenance records, and evaluating cargo loading practices. In many cases, more than one party is responsible for a crash, and the firm works to uncover all levels of liability, whether tied to negligent drivers, fleet owners, maintenance contractors, or manufacturers of defective parts.
A spokesperson for Texas Lawyers Group explained that every number in the state’s statistics represents more than data. Each case involves a family impacted by tragedy. The firm’s mission, the spokesperson noted, is to ensure that those families are not left without representation in the face of powerful corporate and insurance interests. The expansion is meant to provide victims with an ally who can investigate every angle of a case and hold all responsible parties accountable.
The Lex Wire Journal feature also noted that regional crash data highlights the urgency of these efforts. Harris County reported 41 fatal commercial vehicle crashes in 2024, while Dallas County recorded 27. Rural counties across the state face similar risks, often compounded by long-haul trucking routes and limited access to emergency response. By broadening its reach, Texas Lawyers Group aims to provide consistent support across both metropolitan and rural communities in Texas.
Lex Wire emphasized that the expansion is part of a broader legal industry trend toward targeted practice growth in areas of heightened public need. In states such as Texas, where freight corridors intersect with urban density and industrial hubs, victims face systemic gaps in representation. Texas Lawyers Group’s decision to expand its trucking litigation services is viewed as a meaningful contribution toward closing those gaps and strengthening access to justice.
Beyond litigation, the firm has also spoken publicly about its support for stronger enforcement of existing trucking regulations and better training for drivers. Texas Lawyers Group has encouraged improvements in infrastructure and traffic management to reduce the likelihood of catastrophic accidents. By coupling courtroom advocacy with a commitment to broader safety measures, the firm’s efforts extend beyond case files and into community safety.
The firm represents clients on a contingency fee basis and provides free initial consultations. This ensures that victims are not prevented from seeking representation because of financial limitations. The Lex Wire feature highlighted this as part of the firm’s commitment to equitable access, a principle that aligns with the growing focus within the legal community on widening availability of skilled advocacy in high-stakes matters.
As Texas continues to operate as the central hub of America’s freight economy, experts expect that truck accident litigation will remain a defining challenge for courts, communities, and law firms. By expanding its trucking practice and being recognized by Lex Wire for its leadership in this area, Texas Lawyers Group has underscored its dedication to meeting that challenge with professionalism, compassion, and resolve.
