Skilled Truck Accident Attorneys in San Antonio, Texas
Were You Injured In A Truck Accident in San Antonio?
At the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our San Antonio truck accident lawyers know that thousands of crashes occur on Texas interstates, city streets, and rural roads each year that lead to catastrophic injuries and tragic fatalities. Last year alone, according to the Texas Department of Transportation, there were nearly 240,000 people injured in traffic collisions, and another nearly 4,500 people were killed in these crashes — an increase of 15.22% over the previous year.
Sadly, there were no deathless days on Texas roadways last year.
While passenger vehicle drivers are liable for crashes throughout the state, commercial vehicles — including 18-wheelers, delivery trucks, and other heavy vehicles — also contribute to the high number of crashes in Bexar, Comal, and Medina Counties. This is partially because the San Antonio economy relies heavily on commercial vehicle traffic to provide goods for the nearly 41 million visitors San Antonio hosts each year.
Injurious and fatal truck crashes are often caused by direct negligence, including overworked, exhausted, and distracted truck drivers whose trucking employers place profits over safety. If you or a loved one has been injured or lost their life in a truck accident in Texas, we want to help you hold the negligent party — or combination of parties — who is liable for your crash.
Collectively, our skilled San Antonio truck accident attorneys have spent more than three decades working on both sides of the courtroom, gaining unparalleled experience of the inner workings of some of the world’s largest insurance companies, and transforming that knowledge into wins for our clients. We can pursue the same results for you and your family.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Truck Accidents, Injuries & Fatalities in San Antonio, Texas?
The first party that may be liable for accidents involving large commercial trucks, including 18-wheelers, construction equipment vehicles, delivery trucks, and flatbed trucks is the truck driver.
Since he or she is the one operating a large vehicle that can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when at maximum capacity, the driver is directly responsible for safely maneuvering the vehicle. When the driver is negligent in any capacity, countless people can get hurt in a single crash.

- Driving Distracted
- Driving Too Fast for the Traffic or Weather Conditions
- Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs
- Failing to Leave Enough Room to Stop

Steven and I attended law school together and I have known him since 2000. He was stellar in representing a close friend with a personal injury matter. I have been very impressed with his communication, dedication and thoroughness in representation.
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!
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.
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.
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.
