If you or someone you love was just involved in a truck accident in El Paso, you are in the right place. A commercial truck crash on I-10, Loop 375, or US-54 sets off a chain of events that most people are not prepared for: mounting medical bills, lost income, and a trucking company whose insurance team is already working to limit what they pay you. What you do in the next few days, and who you choose to represent you, will shape the outcome of your case.

He also holds an advanced degree in Global Antitrust Law and Economics from George Mason University, a credential that reflects deep expertise in the regulatory frameworks governing large commercial enterprises, including trucking carriers.
What makes Anthony Holm genuinely different from other El Paso truck accident attorneys is this: he completed commercial driving school and holds a permit to operate 18-wheelers and tanker trucks. He does not need to rely solely on expert witnesses to explain how these vehicles behave under load, in fatigue, or at the moment of failure. He already knows. That firsthand knowledge shapes how he investigates cases, how he cross-examines trucking company witnesses, and how he argues your case to insurers and juries.
The fee structure means that speaking with Anthony Holm costs you nothing; no commitment required. If he takes your case, you still pay nothing out of pocket; his fees are only collected if and when he wins compensation for you, meaning his success is the only condition under which you owe him anything.
After a crash, critical evidence begins to disappear almost immediately. Electronic Logging Device data can be legally overwritten within 30 days. Surveillance footage from I-10 and Loop 375 cameras is routinely purged within 72 hours. Witness recollections fade. Anthony Holm acts immediately to preserve everything.
ELD records, black box data, maintenance logs, and witness statements are the pillars of a strong truck accident case. Learn more about the evidence Anthony Holm uses to build your truck accident case and why acting fast is the single most important thing you can do to protect your claim.
Texas law allows truck accident victims to recover economic damages, non-economic damages, and, in cases of egregious conduct, punitive damages. Commercial trucking policies carry minimum liability coverage of $750,000 under federal law, with many carriers insured for $5 million or more. The value of your case depends on the severity of your injuries, the extent of your losses, and how many parties share responsibility.
Medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and wrongful death damages are all part of what you may be entitled to recover. Get a full picture of what compensation is available after a truck accident in El Paso and what factors determine the value of your case.
Commercial truck cases are substantively different from standard automobile claims. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations impose a distinct layer of legal obligations on carriers and drivers that do not exist in personal vehicle operation. Commercial trucking policies carry minimum liability coverage of $750,000, with many policies extending to $5 million or more.
The volume and complexity of evidence, ELD data, maintenance records, driver qualification files, cargo documentation, requires a level of case management that general personal injury practice does not routinely involve. Anthony Holm has devoted his career to litigation in regulated, high-stakes industries. Commercial trucking falls squarely within that domain.
Under federal FMCSA regulations, a fully loaded commercial truck may weigh up to 80,000 pounds. The disparity in mass between a semi-truck and a passenger vehicle means that occupants of smaller vehicles routinely sustain catastrophic, life-altering injuries:
Injuries that appear minor at the scene may worsen significantly in the days that follow. Seek medical evaluation immediately after any truck crash in El Paso, and contact The Big Dog Truck Accident Lawyer before speaking with the trucking company’s insurance representatives.
El Paso is one of the most active freight corridors in North America. Commercial trucks travel through the city continuously, on I-10, US-54, Loop 375, and State Highway 20, connecting the United States to Mexico and moving goods across the continent. When carriers and drivers cut corners on safety, the people sharing those roads pay the price.
Driver fatigue, distracted driving, overloaded trucks, and poor maintenance are among the most frequent causes of serious crashes in El Paso. Learn more about what causes truck accidents in El Paso and how each one affects your claim.
Liability in a commercial truck accident, such as an accident with an Amazon truck, is rarely confined to a single party. The trucking industry operates through a layered network of carriers, contractors, shippers, and equipment owners, and each link in that network can bear legal responsibility for your injuries. Identifying every liable party is not a legal formality. It determines how much compensation is available and who pays it.
The driver, the trucking company, third-party contractors, and cargo shippers can all share fault under Texas law. Understanding how liability is determined in an El Paso truck accident can help you understand the full scope of who owes you compensation.
The steps you take in the hours after a truck crash directly shape the strength of your legal case. If your physical condition permits, take these actions at the scene:
Seek medical evaluation at an El Paso emergency room or urgent care facility without delay, regardless of how you feel at the scene. Adrenaline and shock can mask serious injuries, including spinal damage, traumatic brain injury, and internal hemorrhage, for hours or even days.
The trucking company’s insurance carrier will contact you quickly after the crash. Their representative may seem helpful. They are not. Their mandate is to minimize the company’s financial exposure. Do not provide a recorded statement. Do not accept any preliminary settlement offer. Contact Anthony Holm at The Big Dog Truck Accident Lawyer before engaging with the carrier in any capacity.
Anthony Holm at The Big Dog Truck Accident Lawyer offers the legal depth, industry knowledge, and proven track record to pursue the full compensation you are entitled to under Texas law. The practical window, the period during which critical evidence remains available, is considerably shorter than the legal deadline.
If you have questions about your rights, the claims process, or what to expect after a truck accident in El Paso, our Frequently Asked Questions page covers the answers you are searching for.
Contact 911 and ensure law enforcement responds and files an official crash report. Seek medical evaluation without delay, even in the absence of obvious symptoms. Document the scene by photographing vehicles, road conditions, skid marks, and any visible injuries. Record the driver’s CDL and employer information, along with the truck’s DOT number. Do not provide any statement to the trucking company or its insurance carrier. Contact Anthony Holm at The Big Dog Lawyer before engaging with any party representing the opposing side.
Commercial truck cases involve a distinct body of federal regulation (FMCSA rules governing driver conduct, vehicle maintenance, and hours of service) that does not apply to passenger vehicle claims. They also involve multiple potentially liable parties, more complex evidentiary requirements, and commercial insurance policies that can reach $5 million or more. Anthony Holm has over two decades of experience in high-stakes, regulated-industry litigation and holds a commercial driving permit. He approaches these cases with the technical knowledge and legal sophistication they require.
Liability may extend to the truck driver, the motor carrier, freight brokers or shippers, third-party maintenance contractors, vehicle or parts manufacturers, or the owner of the leased tractor or trailer. Anthony Holm investigates the full chain of custody and operational responsibility to identify every party whose negligence contributed to your injuries.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 establishes a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, measured from the date of the accident. Wrongful death claims are subject to the same period. Failing to file within this window forfeits your right to compensation entirely. Given the time-sensitive nature of truck accident evidence, early legal engagement is critical.
Victims may recover economic damages, past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and diminished earning capacity, as well as non-economic damages including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving egregious or willful misconduct, punitive damages may also be available. Surviving family members may pursue wrongful death damages under Texas law.
Fault is established through a combination of ELD data, black box recordings, maintenance and inspection records, driver qualification files, post-accident drug and alcohol testing results, and expert crash reconstruction analysis. Anthony Holm engages qualified accident reconstructionists and medical professionals to build a comprehensive, evidence-driven case.
Electronic Logging Device data and Event Data Recorder (black box) output are frequently the most determinative evidence, they provide objective, time-stamped records that are difficult to contest. Supporting evidence includes maintenance logs, driver qualification files, cargo documentation, surveillance footage, and witness accounts. Some of this data is subject to automatic overwrite within 30 days of the crash; preservation through a legal hold notice is essential and must be initiated immediately.
Settlement value is case-specific and cannot be generalized. It depends on the nature and permanence of your injuries, total medical costs, income loss, the extent of regulatory violations, and the number of liable parties. Anthony Holm has led negotiations resolving more than $300 million in litigation claims and understands how to position a case for a recovery that reflects its true value, not the minimized figure an insurer hopes you will accept.
Yes. Texas applies a modified comparative negligence standard under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 33.001. You may recover compensation provided your share of fault does not exceed 50 percent. Your award is reduced proportionally by your degree of fault. If you are found 25 percent at fault and your total damages are $400,000, you recover $300,000. Anthony Holm works to establish the accurate allocation of fault and to resist any attempt by the opposing side to inflate your share.
Immediately. The motor carrier’s legal and investigative team begins working within hours of a serious crash. Critical evidence such as ELD data, surveillance footage, witness accounts — has a limited preservation window. The sooner Anthony Holm is retained, the more complete and defensible your case will be. The initial consultation at The Big Dog Lawyer is free, and you are charged no fee unless and until your case is resolved in your favor.
Chose to work with The Big Dog Truck Accident Lawyer. Anthony Holm will do everything necessary to fight for you and your loved ones. His experience and tenacity will bring your family the justice and compensation you deserve.
