What is a Jackknife Truck Accident?
A jackknife truck accident occurs when a large commercial truck skids, causing the trailer to swing out to the side and form an angle with the cab, resembling the shape of a folding jackknife. These accidents often result from a variety of factors, including adverse weather conditions, reckless driving, mechanical failure, or improper loading of cargo. Due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks, jackknife accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries and even fatalities.

Medical Expenses: Coverage for hospital bills, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and future medical care related to your injuries.

Wrongful Death: Compensation for the surviving family members of individuals who tragically lost their lives in jackknife truck accidents.
Navigating the Legal Process
After a jackknife truck accident, victims may find themselves facing formidable opposition from trucking companies and their insurers, who often employ aggressive tactics to minimize liability and avoid paying rightful compensation. In such circumstances, having skilled legal representation is crucial to level the playing field and protect the rights of the injured.
At Hollingsworth Law Firm, we conduct thorough investigations to gather evidence, including accident reports, witness statements, electronic logging device data, and maintenance records. We work tirelessly to establish liability and hold all negligent parties accountable for their actions, whether it be the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, or other entities involved in the operation of the vehicle.
Our attorneys are adept at negotiating with insurance companies to pursue fair settlements that adequately compensate our clients for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. However, we are always prepared to take cases to trial if necessary to ensure our clients receive the justice they deserve.

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.
