TYLER, TX - November 14, 2025 - As commercial truck traffic continues to surge through East Texas's major transportation corridors, McKay Law has firmly established itself as the region's leading legal advocate for 18-wheeler accident victims. With strategically located offices in Tyler, Sulphur Springs, and Dallas, the firm combines aggressive litigation expertise with compassionate client service to secure justice for families devastated by catastrophic truck collisions.
East Texas Faces Escalating Truck Accident Crisis
Tyler and surrounding East Texas communities sit at the intersection of some of America's busiest freight corridors, creating what transportation safety experts describe as a "perfect storm" for devastating truck accidents. Interstate 20, U.S. Highway 69, and State Highway 155 carry thousands of commercial vehicles daily through Smith County and the broader East Texas region.
The statistics are alarming. Texas leads the nation in truck accident fatalities, with over 600 deaths annually involving large commercial trucks. East Texas accounts for a disproportionate share of these tragedies, with rural highways experiencing some of the state's highest fatal crash rates.
"The convergence of high-speed rural highways, increased commercial traffic from the oil and gas industry, and major logistics corridors has created unprecedented dangers for East Texas motorists," said a spokesperson for McKay Law. "When an 80,000-pound 18-wheeler collides with a passenger vehicle at highway speeds, the results are almost always catastrophic or fatal."
Why McKay Law Stands Apart
McKay Law has built its reputation on specialized expertise in commercial vehicle accident litigation—a complex area of law requiring deep knowledge of federal trucking regulations, industry practices, and the sophisticated tactics insurance companies employ to deny legitimate claims.
The firm's track record speaks for itself. Recent settlements and verdicts have provided truck accident victims with substantial compensation covering medical expenses, lost wages, lifetime care needs, and pain and suffering. While past results don't guarantee future outcomes, McKay Law's consistent success has earned recognition throughout the legal community and among satisfied clients.
340+ Five-Star Google Reviews Reflect Excellence
Client testimonials consistently highlight McKay Law's aggressive advocacy and compassionate support during clients' most difficult moments.
One recent truck accident client stated: "After my husband was killed in an 18-wheeler accident on Highway 69, I didn't know where to turn. McKay Law fought the trucking company and their insurance company for two years and never gave up. They got us justice when everyone else said it was hopeless."
Another five-star review reads: "I was T-boned by a semi-truck at an intersection in Tyler. The insurance company offered me $15,000 for injuries that required three surgeries. McKay Law took my case to trial and got me over $800,000. They changed my family's life."
These testimonials reflect a common theme: McKay Law refuses to accept inadequate settlement offers and possesses the resources and courtroom experience to take cases to trial when insurance companies act in bad faith.
The Insurance Company Problem
One of the most dangerous misconceptions truck accident victims hold is that insurance companies will treat them fairly. McKay Law warns that nothing could be further from the truth.
Insurance carriers representing trucking companies deploy rapid response teams to accident scenes within hours—not to determine truth, but to build defenses. They pressure injured victims into recorded statements while still in shock, make lowball settlement offers that represent fractions of cases' true values, and employ delay tactics designed to financially exhaust victims into accepting inadequate compensation.
"When truck accidents result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death, insurance company tactics become even more ruthless," the McKay Law spokesperson explained. "These cases involve substantially higher damages, giving insurers powerful incentives to fight. Victims need experienced legal representation that understands every tactic and knows how to counter them."
Comprehensive Legal Strategy
McKay Law's approach neutralizes insurance company strategies through immediate independent investigations, preservation of critical electronic logging device data and maintenance records, retention of industry-leading expert witnesses, and thorough documentation of medical treatment and long-term prognosis.
The firm's attorneys possess intimate knowledge of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations governing hours of service, vehicle maintenance, driver qualifications, and cargo securement. This expertise allows them to prove violations that caused accidents—evidence that forces insurance companies to make reasonable settlement offers or face unfavorable jury verdicts.
Serving All of East Texas
With offices in Tyler, Sulphur Springs, Greenville, and Dallas, McKay Law provides convenient access to experienced truck accident attorneys throughout the region. This strategic presence enables attorneys to quickly reach accident scenes, interview witnesses while memories remain fresh, and preserve evidence before it disappears.
The firm handles truck accident cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay no attorney fees unless McKay Law recovers compensation. This removes financial barriers to experienced legal representation when families need it most.
Protecting Rights Under Time Constraints
Texas's statute of limitations generally provides two years from the accident date to file lawsuits. However, waiting can jeopardize cases as evidence disappears, witnesses' memories fade, and insurance companies become entrenched in their positions.
McKay Law offers free consultations to truck accident victims. During these meetings, experienced attorneys review cases, explain legal options, and outline strategies for pursuing maximum compensation with no obligation and no cost.
