Truck Accident Attorney in Texarkana, Texas and Arkansas
Experienced Representation for Truck Accident Victims
Truck accidents often result in devastating injuries, extensive property damage, and significant financial losses. Because commercial trucks are much larger and heavier than passenger vehicles, collisions involving semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and other commercial vehicles can have life-changing consequences.
At the Law Firm of Cary G. Rochelle, we represent truck accident victims throughout Texarkana, Texas, Texarkana, Arkansas, and surrounding communities. With more than 40 years of legal experience, Cary G. Rochelle helps injured individuals and families pursue compensation while holding negligent parties accountable.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different
Truck accident claims are often more complex than standard car accident cases. In addition to the truck driver, multiple parties may share responsibility for an accident, including trucking companies, vehicle owners, maintenance providers, cargo loading companies, and manufacturers.
Commercial trucking companies are also subject to federal and state regulations that may affect liability and compensation claims. An experienced truck accident attorney can help identify all responsible parties and protect your rights throughout the legal process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a truck accident different from a car accident?
Truck accident cases are often more complex because they may involve multiple liable parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance providers, cargo loaders, and insurance carriers. Commercial trucking regulations can also play an important role in determining liability.
Who can be held responsible for a truck accident?
Depending on the circumstances, responsibility may extend beyond the truck driver. Potentially liable parties can include the trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance contractor, cargo loading company, or a manufacturer of defective truck parts.
What compensation can I recover after a truck accident?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future medical treatment, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses related to the accident.
What should I do after a truck accident?
Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to law enforcement, document the scene if possible, and avoid discussing the accident with insurance companies before speaking with an attorney. Preserving evidence early can be important in truck accident cases.
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim?
Truck accident claims are subject to legal deadlines that vary depending on the facts of the case and applicable law. Because waiting too long can affect your ability to recover compensation, it is important to consult an attorney as soon as possible after the accident.
