If you have been involved in a crash with a commercial vehicle, you may be facing mounting costs for medical visits and repairing or replacing your vehicle, as well as a loss of wages due to missed work. Texting and driving truck accidents in Houston often result from a driver’s delayed reaction, lane drift, or late braking. Collisions of this type can be serious and have devastating consequences for those involved.
At Mostyn Law, we want to protect your health as well as your right to compensation. An attorney from our firm can organize records, preserve evidence, and communicate with insurance companies, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
Commercial drivers operate under tight deadlines and constant pressure to deliver on time. When a driver uses a phone for texting, dispatch apps, or navigation, their attention shifts from the road, increasing the risk of lane drift, delayed braking, or missed hazards. Federal regulations strictly prohibit texting and the use of handheld devices while operating a commercial vehicle, and Texas law bans electronic messaging while driving. These rules help establish a duty of safety that, when violated, supports your right to file a claim.
Notifications, route updates, and delivery demands can all divide a driver’s focus. Our attorneys connect these moments of distraction to measurable data, such as speed, braking, and steering corrections, to build a fact-based picture of what happened before impact.
Establishing liability in a distracted driving case requires more than assumptions; it demands solid, coordinated evidence. At Mostyn Law, we build a complete timeline linking the driver’s attention, vehicle movement, and your injuries.
We request phone records, telematics data, dispatch logs, and dashcam footage, and align them with vehicle information such as throttle position, braking, and speed changes. Early preservation letters help prevent the loss of valuable evidence, including the truck itself and any nearby surveillance video.
Our team also documents the medical side of your case. We match injury reports, such as concussions, spinal trauma, shoulder tears, or knee damage, to the mechanics of the crash. We organize treatment records, therapy notes, and missed-work documentation to demonstrate both the physical and financial impact.
We also examine the trucking company’s role by reviewing policies, training records, and prior violations. If the company failed to enforce federal phone-use rules, that negligence can further strengthen your claim.
Our goal is to create a clear, data-supported timeline showing what the driver was doing, how the truck behaved, how you were injured, and the full scope of your losses.
Texting-related truck accidents frequently cause severe neck and back injuries, concussions, and joint trauma. Victims often experience pain from whiplash, disc herniations, and muscle strains, along with symptoms like dizziness, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. Shoulder or knee injuries can result from bracing during impact or striking the dashboard, while more serious collisions can lead to fractures of the ribs, wrists, or ankles.
Be mindful of delayed symptoms, such as stiffness, ringing in the ears, or sleep disturbances, which may appear days after the crash. Keep detailed notes about any new pain or changes in your condition to help medical professionals and your legal team connect your symptoms to the accident.
