Hit by a truck driver who fell asleep at the wheel?

A truck driver who hasn't slept in 22 hours has roughly the same reaction time as someone at a 0.08 blood alcohol level, which is legally drunk under Texas law.

But unlike alcohol, fatigue doesn't show up in a breathalyzer. For a long time, that made it easy for trucking companies and their insurers to deny it ever happened.

That has changed because the technology is on your side. And if you've been injured in a crash involving a commercial truck in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, it may change your case entirely. Learn more about how we try these cases and what it means for you.

Fatigue causes catastrophic semi-truck crashes. Discover how our Texas truck wreck lawyers at O’Hare and Koch use Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data to prove carrier liability if they fell asleep at the wheel.

North Texas construction accidents: why your claim might be worth more than workers’ comp.🚧

Think workers’ comp is your only option after an accident on a job site? In Texas, that’s a dangerous assumption to make.

Because Texas is the only state that allows employers to opt out of workers' comp (Non-Subscribers), you could be entitled to significantly more than just medical coverage and partial wages. If your employer doesn't carry traditional insurance, or if a third party was involved, you can fight for:

✅ Full lost wages (not just a percentage)
✅ Pain and suffering
✅ Mental anguish
✅ Future medical costs

North Texas is booming, but your safety shouldn't be the price of progress. Whether you’re in Dallas, Fort Worth or anywhere in the Metroplex, know your rights before you sign anything.

It wasn't "just a fender bender."

If you’ve been hit by a commercial truck in Texas, the insurance company is already moving. Their goal? To settle your case as quickly — and as cheaply — as possible.

Texas is the number one state for truck accidents, and the physics of an 80,000-pound rig vs. a 4,000-pound car mean your injuries are anything but "minor." Before you sign anything or give a recorded statement, you need to know the tactics adjusters use to devalue your claim.

In our latest blog, we break down:

✅ Why the "strategic speed" of insurers is a trap.
✅ How "Modified Comparative Negligence" can wipe out your compensation.
✅ The 5 red flags every Texas victim should watch for.

Don’t fall for the insurance company’s tricks. Level the playing field today.

Stuck behind a slow driver in the left lane?

It’s more than just an annoyance — it’s often illegal. Texas law is clear: the left lane is for passing only. When a slow driver blocks traffic, they create dangerous "pressure cooker" situations that lead to high-speed crashes.

If a left-lane blocker’s bad habit caused your accident, they could be held legally responsible for your medical bills and damages. Don't let the insurance company blame you for a chain reaction someone else started.

Luke 24:1-6: "But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen."
