Hurt by an 18-wheeler in Sugar Land? Here's what Fort Bend County truck crash victims need to know.

A crash with a commercial truck isn't just a bigger car accident. Trucking companies must follow Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSA), which means there's a record behind every crash: ELD logs, hours-of-service records, black box data, maintenance files and driver qualification files. Much of it can be legally destroyed within months, so it has to be preserved quickly.

In this video, Maida Law Firm covers:

✔️ Where truck crashes happen in Sugar Land: I-69/US-59, the Grand Parkway (SH-99), US-90A and Highway 6

✔️ Who can be liable: the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, the maintenance contractor or the manufacturer

✔️ How hours-of-service violations (49 C.F.R. § 395.3) can show driver fatigue

✔️ Why the trucking company's insurer shows up so fast, and why you shouldn't give a recorded statement

✔️ Texas deadlines: generally 2 years to file, and 6 months' notice if a government entity is involved

✔️ Why Sugar Land cases are filed at the Fort Bend County Justice Center in Richmond, not in Harris County

Since 1993, Maida Law Firm has represented injured Texans across the Houston area, including Sugar Land and Fort Bend County. Consultations are free, and there's no fee unless we recover for you.
