San Antonio Truck Accident Attorney
San Antonio sits at the crossroads of I-10 and I-35 — two of the busiest truck corridors in North America. Know your rights after a truck accident.
Truck Accident Victims in San Antonio Deserve Answers
San Antonio occupies a critical position in the North American freight network. I-35 and I-10 intersect here, making the city a major waypoint for trucks moving between Mexico, the Gulf Coast, and the interior of the United States. The volume of commercial traffic through Bexar County is enormous, and the pressure on drivers and carriers to meet cross-border delivery schedules creates conditions where accidents are not just possible — they are a predictable consequence of systemic negligence.
I-35 through San Antonio carries heavy truck traffic from the Mexican border crossings at Laredo and Eagle Pass northward toward Austin and Dallas. I-10 east and west connects the city to Houston and El Paso. Loop 410 and Loop 1604 carry regional freight traffic around the city. These corridors see constant commercial truck activity, and accidents on them frequently involve catastrophic injuries.
Why San Antonio Has a Truck Accident Problem
San Antonio’s proximity to the Mexican border creates a unique category of truck accident liability. Cross-border carriers operating under NAFTA and USMCA agreements are subject to both U.S. and Mexican regulatory frameworks. Determining which regulations apply, which insurance policies cover the accident, and which parties bear liability requires specific knowledge of international trucking law. Bryan Green understands these cross-border liability questions and can help families navigate them.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents in San Antonio
Cross-Border Carrier Fatigue
Drivers operating between Mexico and San Antonio often push through fatigue to meet tight border crossing schedules. Hours-of-service violations are common in this corridor.
I-35 Merge Accidents
The I-35/I-10 interchange in San Antonio is one of the most complex highway interchanges in Texas. Large trucks navigating this interchange at high speeds create dangerous conditions for other drivers.
Overweight Cross-Border Loads
Trucks crossing from Mexico sometimes carry loads that exceed U.S. weight limits. Overweight vehicles have longer stopping distances and cause greater damage in collisions.
Inadequate Insurance Coverage
Some cross-border carriers operate with minimum insurance coverage that is insufficient to compensate serious injury victims. Identifying all available insurance sources requires careful investigation.
Military Logistics Traffic
San Antonio's large military presence generates significant logistics truck traffic around Fort Sam Houston, Lackland AFB, and Randolph AFB. These vehicles and their contractors are subject to specific liability rules.
Loop 410 Commercial Corridor Accidents
The commercial corridors along Loop 410 generate heavy local truck traffic from warehouses, distribution centers, and retail supply chains. Driver fatigue and distraction are common causes of accidents in these areas.

Frequently Asked Questions — San Antonio Truck Accidents
Can I sue a Mexican trucking company for a San Antonio accident?
Yes, in many cases. Mexican carriers operating in the United States under NAFTA/USMCA agreements are required to carry U.S.-compliant insurance and are subject to FMCSA regulations. Bryan can help identify the correct legal framework for your case.
What if the truck was operated by a military contractor?
Military contractor vehicles operating on public roads are generally subject to the same federal trucking regulations as commercial carriers. The contractor and potentially the government agency that hired them may both be liable.
How do I find out if the carrier had adequate insurance?
FMCSA maintains a public database of carrier insurance filings. Bryan’s team can pull this information immediately and identify whether additional coverage sources — such as broker insurance or shipper insurance — are available.
Does Bryan handle cases in Comal and Guadalupe counties?
Yes. Bryan handles truck accident cases throughout the San Antonio metro area and South Texas, including New Braunfels, Seguin, and surrounding communities.
