Truck Accident Victims in Dallas Deserve Answers
Dallas and the DFW Metroplex sit at the intersection of some of the most heavily trafficked commercial corridors in the United States. Every day, tens of thousands of 18-wheelers, tanker trucks, and flatbeds move through the region carrying goods to and from distribution hubs, warehouses, and ports. When those trucks are driven by fatigued drivers, maintained by negligent companies, or dispatched by brokers who cut corners, families pay the price.
The most dangerous corridors in the Dallas area include I-35E through downtown, I-20 east and west of the city, I-30 heading toward Fort Worth, and the LBJ Freeway (I-635). These routes see constant heavy truck traffic, and the combination of high speeds, congestion, and commercial pressure creates conditions where accidents are not just possible — they are predictable.
Why Dallas Has a Truck Accident Problem
Dallas is a major distribution hub for the entire South-Central United States. The region’s growth has brought an explosion in last-mile delivery traffic, refrigerated freight, and hazardous materials transport. Trucking companies operating in DFW are under intense pressure to meet tight delivery windows, which leads to hours-of-service violations, deferred maintenance, and the use of improperly qualified drivers. When an accident happens, multiple parties — the driver, the carrier, the broker, and sometimes the shipper — may share liability.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Dallas
Driver Fatigue on I-35E
Long-haul drivers pushing through Dallas on tight schedules frequently violate federal hours-of-service rules. Fatigued driving is a leading cause of serious truck accidents on DFW highways.
Distracted Driving
Commercial drivers using phones, dispatch devices, or GPS systems while navigating Dallas traffic create dangerous conditions, particularly in construction zones and high-density corridors.
Overloaded or Improperly Loaded Cargo
Distribution centers and shippers in the Dallas area sometimes load trailers beyond legal weight limits or fail to properly secure cargo, causing rollovers and load-shift accidents.
Deferred Maintenance
Carriers operating large fleets in the DFW market sometimes defer brake inspections, tire replacements, and other critical maintenance to reduce costs — creating preventable mechanical failures.
Broker and Carrier Negligence
Freight brokers who dispatch unqualified carriers, or carriers who use independent contractors without proper vetting, create liability chains that extend well beyond the driver.
Inadequate Driver Training
Some carriers operating in Texas hire drivers who lack the experience or training to handle 80,000-pound vehicles in high-traffic urban environments like downtown Dallas.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dallas Truck Accidents
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Texas?
Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. However, evidence like black box data and driver logs can be overwritten or destroyed quickly. Contact an attorney as soon as possible after the accident.
Who can be held liable for a truck accident in Dallas?
Liability in truck accidents often extends beyond the driver. The trucking company, the freight broker who arranged the load, the shipper who loaded the cargo, and even the truck’s manufacturer may all share responsibility depending on the facts of your case.
What if the trucking company says the driver was an independent contractor?
This is a common defense tactic. Under Texas law and federal regulations, carriers can still be held liable for independent contractors through the doctrine of statutory employment. Bryan Green specializes in piercing this defense.

Yes. Bryan handles truck accident cases throughout Texas, including Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and West Texas. He reviews every case personally regardless of location.
