Truck Crash Practice & Process
What to do after an 18-wheeler crash — and how we win your case.
The hours after a semi-truck crash decide a lot. Here's exactly what to do, what to avoid, and how Chris Sanchez builds an 18-wheeler injury case a national carrier can't ignore.
Right after the truck crash
Your first moves matter most
- 1
Get medical attention immediately — even if you feel 'okay.' Truck-crash injuries like brain bleeds and internal damage can hide behind adrenaline, and a gap in treatment is the first thing the carrier's insurer attacks.
- 2
Preserve the scene if you safely can: photos of the truck, its trailer and company name/DOT number, the wreck, the road, and your injuries — plus names and numbers of any witnesses.
- 3
Do NOT give a recorded statement to the trucking company's adjuster or sign anything, and never accept a fast settlement before anyone knows the full extent of a brain, spinal, or internal injury.
- 4
Call us before the truck's evidence disappears. The consultation is free, and we'll tell you honestly whether you have a case.
How we handle your truck case
From the impact to your recovery
We take on the trucking company
From the moment you hire us, we handle every call and letter from the carrier, its corporate lawyers, and its adjusters — so you and your family can focus on healing instead of fighting them.
We get you to trauma care
We connect you with trusted Rio Grande Valley trauma specialists and surgeons who can treat catastrophic injuries now, often with no upfront cost, and we keep your medical record airtight.
We lock down the truck evidence fast
We send a legal hold for the truck's black-box and electronic logs, secure dashcam and roadside-camera footage, hire crash reconstructionists, and pin down liability before it's repaired, overwritten, or erased.
We demand the full lifetime value
We work with life-care planners and economists to prove what a TBI or spinal injury truly costs over a lifetime — then negotiate hard. If the carrier won't pay it, Chris is ready for a Hidalgo County jury.
Cases we handle
Serious injuries from 18-wheelers and big rigs.
