With years of experience handling 18-wheeler accidents, semi-truck crashes, and other commercial vehicle collisions, the attorneys at Morrow & Sheppard LLP represent clients throughout Texas and nationwide. As a Houston-based truck accident law firm, we regularly see the devastating impact these cases have on victims and their families.

Accidents involving tractor-trailers, tanker trucks, and other large commercial vehicles often result in catastrophic injuries or death, leaving families facing mounting medical bills and long-term consequences. Insurance companies know what these cases are worth. They may quickly offer a settlement and suggest you do not need a lawyer. At the same time, they are working with their own attorneys to gather evidence and protect the trucking company.

Working with an experienced commercial truck accident attorney ensures your case is properly investigated and your rights are protected from the start.

When the insurance company calls, do not speak to them! They are after their own interests, and it can hurt your case. Act now to protect your legal rights.

If you are reading this, you already understand what is happening: the insurance company is trying to settle your case for less than it is worth. In serious 18-wheeler and commercial truck accident cases, insurers and trucking companies move quickly to protect themselves and limit what they pay.

You do not have to handle this alone. Morrow & Sheppard represents clients in catastrophic truck accident and commercial vehicle cases, including collisions involving semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and other large carriers. Our attorneys understand how these cases are built, how liability is proven, and what it takes to recover full compensation.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we recover for you. Our focus is holding trucking companies, insurers, and other responsible parties accountable and pursuing the maximum recovery available under the law.

If you have been injured in a truck or 18-wheeler accident in Houston or anywhere in Texas, or lost a loved one due to a commercial vehicle crash, contact our firm to discuss your case. Call (866) 960-2710 or submit your information online.

Most truck accident victims do not realize the full scope of their losses. This is true in cases involving both severe injuries and wrongful death. Texas law allows accident victims (including family members in fatal accidents) to recover not only their direct expenses but compensation for the physical and emotional effects of the crash as well. In many cases, this can result in substantial financial recovery.

When you hire us to represent you, we will help you seek compensation for:

• Medical, therapy and prescription costs
• Lost income and earning capacity
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life and impairments to your family relationships
• Other physical, financial and emotional harm
