If you or someone you know was injured in this crash, Texas law may allow you to pursue compensation from multiple liable parties including the driver, trucking company, and cargo shipper.
Get Help Now →A tanker truck rollover at one of Houston's most heavily traveled intersections can leave victims with serious physical injuries, mounting medical bills, lost wages, and deep uncertainty about what comes next. Whether you were in another vehicle, a bystander, or a commercial driver yourself, the aftermath of a crash this severe can feel overwhelming and isolating.
Crashes involving commercial tanker trucks are rarely simple. Questions about who loaded the cargo, whether the truck was properly maintained, and whether the carrier followed federal safety regulations can all affect a victim's ability to recover. You should not have to navigate those questions alone while you are still recovering.
Depending on the facts, potentially liable parties can include the truck driver, the trucking or carrier company, the company that loaded or owned the cargo, the vehicle maintenance contractor, and in some cases the truck manufacturer. An attorney can investigate which parties may apply to your situation.
In Texas, the general statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the incident. Acting sooner is advisable because critical evidence such as dashcam footage, electronic logging device data, and witness statements can become harder to obtain over time.
Bystanders, pedestrians, and nearby motorists who suffered injuries as a result of the crash may have valid claims just as occupants of other vehicles do. HurtMatch can connect you with an attorney who can evaluate your specific circumstances.
Tanker rollovers may involve hazardous cargo that causes chemical exposure injuries in addition to physical trauma from the crash itself. Hazmat-related injuries can involve additional regulatory frameworks and potentially additional liable parties such as the cargo owner or shipper.
