Hurt by an 18-wheeler, big rig, dump truck, cement mixer, or delivery truck in San Antonio? We file serious injury cases in Bexar County district court.
San Antonio's Freight Corridors, in Bexar County Numbers
San Antonio is the inland end of the Laredo–San Antonio freight corridor. I-35 carries 18-wheelers and big rigs between the border and the rest of the country, and that traffic mixes with local cars on I-10, Loop 410, Loop 1604, and US-281. When one of those trucks causes a crash here, the lawsuit is filed in the Bexar County district courts in downtown San Antonio.
These figures are for Bexar County, not a statewide average. TxDOT's Crash Records Information System (CRIS) recorded 2,684 commercial motor vehicle crashes in Bexar County in 2024, including 18 fatal crashes and 18 deaths. In 2023 the same report counted 2,460 commercial vehicle crashes, 13 fatal crashes, and 14 deaths. The counts come from Texas Peace Officer crash reports processed by TxDOT.

San Antonio 18-Wheeler and Big Rig Accident Lawyers
People hurt in San Antonio usually search for a big rig lawyer or an 18-wheeler crash lawyer. That matches the traffic. The Laredo–San Antonio stretch of I-35 is one of the heaviest tractor-trailer routes in Texas, and the same rigs continue onto I-10 and Loop 410. An 18-wheeler wreck is not a car wreck: the carrier has hours-of-service rules, an electronic log, a driver qualification file, and a much larger insurance policy. We request those records before they are overwritten, and serious injury cases are filed in Bexar County district court.
San Antonio Dump Truck Accident Lawyer
Dump trucks are a regular part of the crash calls we see from Loop 1604, the I-35 work zones, and subdivision builds on the north and west sides. A loaded dump truck can weigh more than 50,000 pounds, and the bed sits high enough to crush a passenger car in a right turn or a rear-end crash. Overloaded beds, faded brakes, uncovered gravel, and drivers shuttling between a pit and a job site are the usual facts. The trucking company, the contractor, and sometimes the general contractor can all share responsibility.
San Antonio Cement Truck Accident Lawyer
A cement truck is not a dump truck. Ready-mix mixers are top-heavy, the drum keeps turning in traffic, and the load has a short window before it sets, which pushes the driver to make the pour on time. Plants and job sites around Loop 1604, US-281, and the west side put these trucks on the same roads as commuters. A rollover, a wide turn, or a mixer that cannot stop in time is a commercial vehicle claim, and the plant, the carrier, and the job site can all be involved.
Amazon Delivery Truck Accidents in San Antonio
Amazon deliveries in San Antonio run through contracted delivery companies, not one Amazon fleet. Vans and step vans cover neighborhood streets off US-281, Loop 410, and the west and south sides, on routes timed to a daily package count. That shows up as rushed backing, a packed cargo area that blocks the driver's view, and drivers who were not trained like long-haul CDL drivers. The first question is which company employed the driver and which policy applies, so the claim does not bounce between Amazon and the contractor.
FedEx Truck Accidents in San Antonio
FedEx Ground and FedEx Express trucks are on Loop 410, I-10, and the commercial strips along US-281 every day. Ground routes are often run by contractors. Express uses a different employment and insurance setup. The truck may be a step van, a straight truck, or a tractor-trailer leaving a local station. The name on the door does not, by itself, say who pays. We identify the operating company and the policy before the crash is treated as a minor property-damage claim.
UPS Truck Accidents in San Antonio
UPS package cars work early neighborhood routes and then connect to hubs that feed I-35 and I-10. They stop constantly, pull out from the curb, and turn across traffic. A crash with a UPS truck is still a commercial vehicle claim: the company keeps driver records, inspection reports, and route data. We ask for those materials, and when the injuries are serious the case is filed in a Bexar County district court rather than left with the first adjuster who calls.
Box Truck Accidents in San Antonio
Box trucks and straight trucks move local freight that never looks like an 18-wheeler: furniture, appliances, building supplies, and rental moving trucks on Loop 410 and city arterials. Many weigh under 26,001 pounds, so the driver may not hold a CDL and the insurance limits can be lower than an interstate carrier's. They still outweigh a passenger car by several tons. We check the registered weight, the motor carrier, and any rental contract, because the company painted on the box is not always the company that insured the truck.
Dangerous Highways & Truck Accident Hotspots
I-35 (Laredo–San Antonio Freight Corridor)
The main route for cross-border freight between Laredo and San Antonio. 18-wheelers and big rigs run it day and night, and the merges at Loop 410 are a repeat crash point.
I-10
East-west freight through San Antonio, tying the I-35 trade route to Houston and West Texas. Truck volume stays high through the downtown interchange with I-35.
Loop 410
The inner loop connects I-35, I-10, and US-281. Commercial trucks use it to get around downtown, and the I-35 / Loop 410 south interchange backs up with freight.
Loop 1604
The outer loop runs through the growing north and west sides, where dump trucks, cement mixers, and new warehouse traffic share the road with commuters.
US-281
North-south route from downtown through the Stone Oak corridor. Delivery trucks and construction vehicles mix with fast suburban traffic.
High-Risk Locations in San Antonio
- I-35 at Loop 410 south, where Laredo freight funnels onto the inner loop
- I-10 / I-35 downtown interchange, two freight corridors merging in the city center
- Loop 1604 construction zones on the north and west sides
- US-281 North through Stone Oak, commuter speeds mixed with delivery and concrete trucks
- South Side industrial routes feeding I-35 toward the border
