Sep 24, 2026

With more than 12 years of experience and over $20 million won for clients, the firm helps truck crash victims preserve evidence and pursue rightful compensation.
Midland, Texas, United States, September 24, 2026 -- According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), out of the 503,000 police-reported large-truck-related crashes in 2022, 1% were fatal crashes, and 23% were injury crashes. It's evident that accidents involving large trucks can have serious consequences, and that road safety is of the utmost importance.
Professional truck drivers do have to go through rigorous training to move cargo safely, but that can only go so far. Everyone needs proper rest to stay alert and have quick responses, and unfortunately, many truck drivers sacrifice rest to work more. In many cases, the consequence is preventable accidents.
Midland Truck Accident Attorney is bringing attention to the importance of hours-of-service records, which can show whether a driver was operating within the applicable limits on driving and duty time. Currently, the federal hours-of-service rules dictate how long commercial truck drivers can stay on duty, and these rules also outline required rest periods. The goal is to help drivers stay awake and alert while on shift.
For those who are involved in serious truck crashes, though, these requirements hold significance beyond regulatory compliance. These major collisions often result in catastrophic injuries or even death, and the details surrounding the driver's activities before the crash can make a significant difference in the investigation and resulting legal actions.
Both insurance companies and legal professionals will want details regarding the truck driver's schedules, records, and any other available evidence, such as data from electronic logging devices and prior inspection and maintenance records. Evidence pointing to drivers not adhering to the federal hours-of-service rules can work heavily in the victims' favor.
This makes evidence crucial for personal injury claims, and timely and efficient preservation is critical. Midland Truck Accident Attorney has over 12 years of experience and has won over $20 million for its clients. Its legal experts can help clients obtain evidence in a timely fashion and be their advocate during difficult times.
