Truck data auto-overwrites fast—ECM/EDR “black box,” dash-cams, telematics, warehouse/traffic cameras, even dispatch notes. The moment you call, we send a same-day legal-hold (spoliation) letter to lock down ELD/HOS logs, driver RODS, bills of lading, and video. If cooperation stalls, we’re ready to seek a court-ordered early inspection. You focus on care—we’ll freeze the evidence timeline.
Preserve Evidence Now
By federal rule, carriers can purge Records of Duty Status, ELD data, and supporting documents after six months. We request and track these immediately so nothing cycles out, then cross-check against fuel, toll, GPS, and dispatch records to expose hours-of-service violations. (49 CFR §395)
Maintenance files must be kept at least 1 year and for 6 months after the vehicle leaves the carrier’s control. Early requests reveal patterns—repeat defects, brake issues, tire wear, missed inspections—that prove notice and negligence. We demand the full trail: DVIRs, work orders, parts invoices, and out-of-service history. (49 CFR §396) KRIS 6 News Corpus Christi. That’s not distant data—it’s our neighbors, families, and friends. We’re not just practicing law here; we're protecting our community. . We are the team locals trust to navigate this complexity with clarity, care, and results.
Corpus Christi’s Premier 18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys: Fighting for Maximum Personal Injury Compensation
When a massive 18-wheeler collides with your vehicle, the aftermath extends far beyond the wreckage scattered across Texas highways. Your life changes in an instant—and you deserve a truck collision lawyer who understands that behind every case file is a family struggling to rebuild their world.
At our Corpus Christi law firm, we don’t just handle 18-wheeler accident cases; we champion the rights of injured Texans who refuse to let trucking companies define their future.
Why Your Choice of Attorney Determines Your Recovery
Every phone call we receive tells a story of survival. A mother whose morning commute on Highway 358 ended in the ICU. A father whose delivery truck was crushed by a negligent 18-wheeler driver on I-37. These aren’t statistics—they’re the reason we fight with relentless determination.
Our Unwavering Commitment to Accident Victims
🎯 Client-First Advocacy – Your story drives our strategy. We listen to understand how this truck collision has disrupted your career, your family dynamics, and your daily life.
💪 Proven Track Record – Our personal injury compensation victories speak louder than promises. We’ve secured millions for clients facing catastrophic injuries, lost income, and lifelong medical needs.
🏠 Deep Texas Roots – As your local Corpus Christi attorney, we know which intersections see the most commercial vehicle accidents, which judges prioritize victim rights, and how South Texas juries respond to trucking company tactics.
⚖️ Comprehensive Legal Protection – We shield you from insurance adjusters while pursuing every dollar you deserve—from immediate medical expenses to future rehabilitation costs.
Specialized 18-Wheeler Accident Representation
Not every personal injury attorney can handle the complexity of commercial trucking cases. Federal regulations, electronic logging devices, corporate liability structures—these cases demand specialized expertise that we’ve refined over years of successful litigation.
Our Core Practice Areas Include:
🚛 Commercial Truck Collisions – Navigating federal safety violations, driver fatigue regulations, and corporate negligence claims against major trucking companies.
🚗 Multi-Vehicle Accidents – Reconstructing complex crash scenarios involving passenger cars, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles on busy Texas roadways.
📱 Rideshare Accident Claims – Untangling insurance coverage disputes between Uber, Lyft, and traditional auto policies when rideshare drivers cause serious injuries.
🚶 Vulnerable Road User Protection – Advocating for pedestrians and cyclists who suffer devastating injuries when drivers fail to maintain proper awareness.
Each case requires a unique approach. A jackknife accident on the Harbor Bridge demands different expertise than a rear-end collision in downtown Corpus Christi. We adapt our investigation methods, expert witness selection, and negotiation strategies to maximize your personal injury compensation.
Local Expertise Meets National-Level Resources
You need more than a billboard lawyer who treats you like a case number. Our Corpus Christi roots run deep—we understand the unique challenges of South Texas roadways, from the industrial traffic around the Port of Corpus Christi to the tourist congestion along Ocean Drive.
Yet we possess the resources to challenge billion-dollar trucking corporations and their teams of defense attorneys. This combination of local insight and national-caliber legal firepower ensures you receive personalized attention without sacrificing results.
What Sets Our Truck Collision Lawyers Apart:
Beyond Compensation: Restoring Your Peace of Mind
Hiring an 18-wheeler accident attorney should eliminate stress, not create more. From your first consultation through final settlement or verdict, we maintain transparent communication using plain English—never legal jargon that leaves you confused about your own case.

In Corpus Christi and across South Texas, these collisions are not just numbers—they are people trying to rebuild after catastrophic injuries, lost income, and unimaginable stress. Behind every statistic is a family, a future, and a fight worth taking on. That’s why our firm measures success not in dollars alone—but in recovery, dignity, and peace of mind restored.

From serious car crashes to trucking collisions, our results speak for themselves. These recoveries aren’t just settlements—they’re lifelines that help clients cover medical bills, rebuild their lives, and regain peace of mind.
Higher Settlements With Representation
According to national insurance data, accident victims represented by lawyers often secure more than triple the compensation compared to those who go it alone. Insurance companies have endless resources—having an advocate levels the playing field.
Client Satisfaction
More than nine out of ten clients we serve tell us they would recommend our firm to friends or family. That trust comes from the way we combine legal power with human compassion—because justice isn’t just about winning; it’s about how you’re treated along the way.
Every voice matters—your story deserves to be heard.
When someone survives an 18-wheeler crash, their words carry more weight than any statistic. Our clients often tell us it wasn’t just the settlement that mattered—it was the way they were treated, listened to, and guided through the chaos. In a world where trucking companies move quickly to protect themselves, real people need real advocates who don’t just handle cases but restore lives.
That’s why we share reviews and testimonials: not as marketing, but as proof that compassion and results can exist together. Each story is a reminder that justice isn’t about numbers—it’s about people who trusted us during the hardest chapter of their lives, and walked away knowing they weren’t alone.

My family and I have dealt with other law firms in the city and no matter what their commercials said , they put you first etc, the experiences have been unsatisfactory. The Raub law firm is different.From the minute he came to my home till he handed me my settlement Mr. Raub and his associates far exceeded my expectations. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I do it will be the Raub law firm.
