Truck Accident Lawyer in San Antonio
A collision with an 18-wheeler is not just a bigger car accident — it’s a different kind of catastrophe. A fully loaded commercial truck can weigh 20 to 30 times more than your vehicle, and the injuries are often life-altering. On top of that, you’re no longer up against one driver — you’re up against a trucking company, its insurer, and the team of adjusters and lawyers they send to protect their bottom line.
At Fernandez Moore Injury Law, we’ve handled thousands of injury claims for Texans and recovered more than $10,000,000 for hurting families. Led by Eunice Moore, who spent over 25 years inside the insurance industry, we know how trucking companies and their insurers operate — and how to hold them accountable. We fight for you with the force these cases demand and the empathy your family deserves.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different
Commercial truck crashes involve rules and evidence that ordinary car wrecks don’t. Trucking companies are governed by federal safety regulations, and the trucks themselves carry data that can prove exactly what happened — if it’s preserved before it disappears.
- Federal regulations govern driver hours, maintenance, and cargo loading.
- The truck’s “black box” and electronic logs can reveal speed, braking, and hours driven.
- Multiple parties may share fault: the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, or the maintenance provider.
- Trucking insurers move fast to limit liability — evidence must be preserved immediately.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents
- Driver fatigue and violations of federal hours-of-service limits
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Improperly loaded or overweight cargo
- Poor truck maintenance and brake failure
- Speeding and unsafe driving for road conditions
- Blind-spot and unsafe lane-change collisions
Who Can Be Held Responsible
One of the biggest differences in a truck case is that more than one party may be liable. Compensation can come from the driver, the trucking company that employed them, the company that loaded the cargo, or the manufacturer of a defective part. We investigate every possible source of responsibility — and every available insurance policy — so nothing is left on the table.
What Your Truck Accident Case Could Be Worth
Truck-crash injuries are often severe, and so are the costs. Compensation may cover current and future medical care, lost income and lost earning capacity, rehabilitation, property damage, and pain and suffering. Because these cases involve larger insurance policies, the companies fight harder to pay less. We calculate the full, long-term value of your case and pursue all of it.
No Fee Unless We Win
There are never any up-front costs. We advance every expense of your case and even help coordinate your medical care with physicians who don’t charge up front either. You pay nothing until your case settles against the responsible party. When you call, a live person answers every time — ready to set up a free consultation in person, by phone, or on Zoom.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Texas?
Texas generally allows two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. But truck-crash evidence — logs, black-box data, maintenance records — can be lost quickly, so calling early is critical.
Who pays for my injuries in a truck accident?
It may be more than one party. The driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, or a parts manufacturer could each bear responsibility, and each may carry separate insurance. We pursue every available source.
The trucking company’s insurer already called me — what should I do?
Do not give a recorded statement or accept an early offer before speaking with a lawyer. Their goal is to settle cheaply before the full extent of your injuries is known. Let us deal with them.
How much does it cost to hire Fernandez Moore Injury Law?
Nothing up front, ever. We work on contingency — you pay only when we win, as a percentage of your recovery.
