Dallas Truck Accident Lawyers Fighting for You
A collision with an 18-wheeler isn't a typical wreck-it's a life-changer. If a tractor-trailer hit you on I-35E, I-30, or US-75 near Downtown Dallas, you need a Dallas truck accident lawyer who knows how to push back against national carriers and their insurers. At McMahon Dean, we investigate fast, secure critical evidence, and build cases that win.
Why Truck Accidents Are Different
Commercial truck cases involve high-stakes insurance, multiple corporate defendants, and federal rules most drivers never see. Hours-of-Service limits, maintenance logs, and
FMCSA regulations matter, and trucking companies often deploy rapid-response teams to shape the narrative. Our team levels the field from day one.
Our Experience with Commercial Truck Cases
We know the trucking playbook: delay records, blame the smaller car, and minimize injuries. McMahon Dean moves quickly to preserve driver logs, black-box (ECM) data, dash-cam footage, and fleet maintenance files. Our trial-ready approach puts pressure on carriers headquartered across Texas and the nation.
Causes of Truck Accidents We Handle
Driver Fatigue
Hours-of-Service violations and overnight hauls through Dallas County.
Brake or Equipment Failure
Missed inspections and defective components.
Drunk or Drugged Driving
Zero tolerance when a commercial license is at stake.
Speeding or Aggressive Driving
Tailgating and unsafe lane changes in heavy DFW traffic.
Poor Hiring/Training
Unqualified or poorly supervised drivers on Texas highways.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Beyond the truck driver, responsibility may reach the motor carrier, the trailer owner, a third-party loader, maintenance contractors, or even a
parts manufacturer. We map every relationship and contract to identify all sources of recovery.
Maximizing Compensation for Truck Crash Victims
Truck crashes often cause spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe fractures, burns, and, tragically,
fatalities. We pursue medical costs (including future care), lost earnings and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and, when conduct is egregious, punitive damages.
What Our Clients Say
"I do not refer cases to many lawyers because I want to make sure that the clients are properly cared for and that the attorneys are willing to try the case if necessary. Cameron and Cullen will do both! They will care for you and leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of justice."
- Caleb M.
"Honestly I will never be able to put into words what Mr. McMahon did for me. I lost a horse due to a preventable equipment malfunction due to lack of integrity of a company. He listened to me when others found my case “too unique”, fought for what was right and always stayed in touch so I knew what to expect. At the end of the day it’s not about the money, it’s about holding people accountable for things that cause others harm and I am so grateful to have McMahon for that."
- Allisa B.
"I have personally worked with both Cullen and Cameron over the years. If you are looking for lawyers that provide excellent legal representation with a caring, personal approach - look no further than McMahon Dean, PLLC."
- Ben D.
"Cameron Dean and Hailey have been amazing in working my case. They work extremely hard and are always there to answer my questions and guide me into next steps. They let me know what is always going on so I’m never in the dark. The communication alone is so refreshing and not something you get from most law firms. 10/10 recommend. If you are unsure on your next steps call them and ask for Cameron and he will definitely help you."
- Fay M.
Truck Accidents FAQs
How soon should I contact a lawyer after a truck crash?
Immediately. Carriers start building their defense within hours. We send preservation letters to secure logs and black-box data.
What if the trucking company's insurer calls me?
Do not give a recorded statement before speaking with an attorney.
How much does it cost to hire a truck accident attorney?
No upfront fees. McMahon Dean works on contingency-no fee unless we win.
Can I obtain the truck's black-box or logbook data?
Yes. We demand the ECM data, ELD logs, and inspection records to prove fault.
What if the driver is an independent contractor?
We investigate all relationships; motor carriers can still be liable under federal and Texas law depending on control and contracts.
