Houston Truck Accident Lawyer for Commercial Vehicle Crashes

Why Truck Accidents Are Different

Crashes involving 18-wheelers and other commercial trucks are not like typical car accidents. The size and weight of these vehicles mean injuries are often catastrophic. At the Law Office of Frederick K. Wilson II, we focus on representing victims of commercial truck accidents, bringing persistence and insider insurance knowledge to high-stakes cases.

Negligent hiring and training by trucking companies

Each case requires careful investigation into both driver conduct and company policies.

Insurance and Corporate Defense Tactics

Trucking companies and their insurers fight aggressively to limit payouts. They often deploy teams of lawyers and investigators immediately after a crash. Frederick knows what insurance companies look for in truck accident claims, because of his years inside the industry training adjusters. That knowledge allows him to anticipate defenses and fight for maximum recovery.


Truck Accidents in Houston and Beyond

Houston is a major hub for trucking, with heavy traffic on I-10, I-45, and Beltway 8. Accidents involving 18-wheelers and other large commercial vehicles are common across the metro, from downtown to suburbs like Katy, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands. Frederick represents victims across Houston and throughout Texas.
