Hit by a commercial vehicle in Houston? Leatherwood Law holds
businesses and drivers accountable.
Accidents involving commercial vehicles—like delivery trucks,
utility vans, construction vehicles, and box trucks—are often more
severe than a typical car crash. These vehicles are larger,
heavier, and often operated under tight schedules that encourage
risky driving.
At Leatherwood Law, we help victims of commercial vehicle
accidents recover full compensation for their injuries. Whether
the driver was working for Amazon, FedEx, a contractor, or a local
business, we’ll investigate the company’s policies, training, and
maintenance practices to build a strong case.
These cases often involve corporate insurance policies, multiple
parties, and aggressive defense tactics. We know how to cut
through the red tape and fight for what you’re owed.
If you’ve been injured by a negligent commercial driver, you don’t
have to take on the company alone.

Commercial Vehicle Accident FAQs
Who can be held liable in a commercial vehicle accident in Houston?
Liability can include the driver, the company, a vehicle owner, a maintenance contractor, or a parts manufacturer. Commercial crashes often involve multiple policies and multiple responsible parties.
Can I sue a company if its employee caused a crash in Texas?
Yes, an employer can be responsible when an employee causes a crash while working. The key issue is whether the driver was acting within the scope of work at the time of the collision.
What evidence should I preserve after a delivery truck crash in Houston?
Preserve photos of vehicle markings, plates, damage, and the roadway immediately. Also keep medical records, the crash report number, witness contacts, and any communications from insurers.
How long do I have to file a commercial vehicle accident claim in Texas?
Most Texas injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash date. Fast action matters because commercial evidence (logs, camera footage) can disappear quickly.
What compensation can I recover after a commercial vehicle crash?
You can seek payment for medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering when negligence caused the injury. Severe cases can also involve future care costs and long-term disability damages.
