If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck or 18-wheeler accident in Corpus Christi, you know how devastating these crashes can be. The size and weight of commercial trucks often lead to catastrophic injuries, leaving victims with mounting medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about the future.
At Jerry Guerra Law, we fight to hold trucking companies, drivers, and insurers accountable — and to get injured victims the justice and compensation they deserve.

Not every personal injury lawyer is equipped to handle truck accident cases. These claims involve unique challenges, including:
Federal & State Regulations: Trucking companies must follow strict FMCSA rules on hours-of-service, vehicle maintenance, and driver training.
Multiple Liable Parties: Responsibility may fall on the driver, the trucking company, maintenance contractors, or even parts manufacturers.
High-Stakes Defense: Trucking companies and insurers often deploy aggressive legal teams to minimize payouts.
We understand the complexities of truck accident cases and know how to build strong claims that stand up to big insurance companies.
Truck crashes in South Texas often occur on highways like I-37, US-181, and SH-286. Some of the most common causes include:
Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
Distracted or impaired driving
Improper loading or unsecured cargo
Faulty brakes, tires, or other equipment failures
Unsafe lane changes or wide turns
No matter the cause, we work quickly to investigate, preserve evidence, and identify who is truly responsible.
Because of the force of impact, truck accident victims often face severe, life-changing injuries, including:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Broken bones and crush injuries
Internal organ damage
Wrongful death
We pursue full compensation not only for immediate medical needs but also for long-term care, rehabilitation, and the impact on your future earning capacity.
