Largest Truck Accident Verdict in Texas (2024)
Our Dallas Truck Accident Lawyers recovered the #1 largest truck accident verdict in Texas on behalf of an 18 wheeler truck driver who was tragically killed while parked on the shoulder of the highway due to mechanical problems with his truck.
Our client was hit at over 50 mph by an Oncor Electric company lineman who was driving to another job site and distracted by his cell phone at the time of the crash.
Oncor continued to blame our client throughout trial, arguing that his 18 wheeler was taking up a portion of the outside lane of the highway. We used traffic camera footage to show the jury that over 40 other vehicles passed our client without issue. The only person who couldn’t avoid our client was the Oncor employee, who was not looking at the roadway for at least 8 seconds prior to the crash.
The Dallas County jury returned with a verdict of $37,500,000, making it the largest truck accident verdict in Texas in 2024.
