Our team of experienced lawyers possesses the knowledge, skills, and tenacity necessary to navigate the complexities of big rig accident cases and secure the compensation our clients deserve.
Understanding Big Rig Accidents
Big rig accidents, also known as semi-truck accidents, involve commercial vehicles that weigh significantly more than standard passenger cars. Due to their size and weight, collisions with big rigs often result in catastrophic injuries and fatalities. Factors such as driver fatigue, inadequate maintenance, and reckless driving can contribute to the occurrence of these accidents.
The Role of a Big Rig Accident Attorney
A big rig accident attorney has experience in handling cases involving commercial trucking accidents. These attorneys possess in-depth knowledge of state and federal regulations governing the trucking industry, allowing them to navigate the complexities of these cases effectively. From conducting thorough investigations to negotiating with insurance companies and litigating in court, a skilled attorney can advocate for the rights of accident victims every step of the way.
Common Causes of Big Rig Accidents
Numerous factors can contribute to big rig accidents, including:
Driver Fatigue: Long hours on the road can lead to driver fatigue, impairing judgment and reaction times.
Distracted Driving: Activities such as texting, eating, or adjusting the radio can distract drivers, increasing the risk of accidents.
Mechanical Failures: Poorly maintained brakes, tires, or other mechanical issues can lead to catastrophic failures while on the road.
Improper Loading: Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo can affect the vehicle’s balance and stability, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
Adverse Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, or icy roads can exacerbate driving conditions, making it challenging for big rig drivers to maintain control of their vehicles.

Testimonials
Professional and Thorough
I used Steve Hollingsworth for a personal injury case following a car accident. He was very easy to work with and managed my expectations regarding costs, time commitment/duration, filing suit etc. Steve kept me informed during the process and always made sure I understand what everything meant. My case took about 18 months to resolve, ending in mediation after filing suit and he pushed hard to make sure my best interest was represented and to ensure that I had the best possible (and fair) outcome. I hope I never have a personal injury claim again but if I do, I would absolutely consult with Steve. He exceeded my expectations and made the process as painless as possible. I would high recommend him.

Pamela V.Attorney from Cypress, TX
Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
Crystal H.Attorney from Houston, TX
I cannot recommend Steve highly enough. As an attorney, you do not often find yourself in the position of being a client. But because of someone’s negligence, my husband and I found ourselves in need of a personal injury attorney after my husband suffered catastrophic injuries. We were immediately referred to Steve, and we were so lucky we were. Steve is compassionate but also tenacious. We always felt that he had our best interest at heart and was fighting for us. We truly felt that he cared about our case. There was never a time that he was unavailable to talk to us, and always kept us well informed. He has the utmost integrity and also has a vast knowledge of the law. On top of that, his experience is top notch as he has worked on both the defense and plaintiff side. We knew Steve was always tirelessly fighting for us, and a year and a half after my husband was severely injured by a negligent driver, Steve got us a fantastic settlement. I recommend Steve without hesitation.
Madelyn L.Attorney from Houston, TX
Steve and I were colleagues, where we worked on complex personal injury and wrongful death cases. What I observed in the years we worked together is that Steve is not only extremely skillful in his profession, but he is a tireless student of the law, constantly working to perfect the art of practicing law. He genuinely cares about his clients and their cases and it shows. He has excellent work ethic. He is not only a terrific lawyer but also a great person. As a fellow member of the State Bar of Texas, I would recommend Steve to anyone needing a zealous advocate in a personal injury case.
Vivian E.Attorney from San Antonio, TX
After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
Robin T.Attorney from College Station, TX
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven’s presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
James H.From Miami, FL
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
