Quick Case Evaluation
- Was the vehicle that hit you an 18-wheeler, a delivery van, or a company truck?
- Are your medical bills already exceeding $50,000, making a standard private auto policy insufficient?
- Did the accident happen on a major San Antonio artery like I-35, Loop 1604, or I-10?
The Danger of Minimum Coverage in Catastrophic Wrecks
In a typical car wreck, you are often limited by the other driver’s insurance policy, which in Texas can be as low as $30,000. But in commercial accidents, the rules change. Because San Antonio is a major logistics hub, our highways are crowded with semi-trucks and commercial delivery vehicles. When these massive vehicles cause a crash, the injuries are almost always catastrophic, involving paralysis, multiple fractures, or internal organ damage.
Identifying Corporate Liability and "Deep Pockets"
In these cases, we look for corporate liability. Commercial carriers are required by law to carry much higher insurance limits—often $750,000 to $5 million or more. However, accessing those funds requires aggressive litigation. We move to preserve "Black Box" data (Event Data Recorders) and driver logs. Did the driver exceed their "Hours of Service"? Was the trucking company negligent in their hiring process?
Moving Beyond the Police Report
The Miller Law Firm specializes in digging beneath the surface of the police report. We investigate the parent corporations and their umbrella insurance providers. If you are facing a lifetime of medical treatment or have lost a loved one in a commercial wreck, you cannot settle for a "standard" car accident settlement. You need a recovery that accounts for the massive scale of a commercial trucking disaster.
