EAST TEXAS - October 27, 2025 - McKay Law, one of East Texas's most respected personal injury law firms, today reaffirmed its position as the region's premier choice for truck accident victims seeking maximum compensation and dedicated legal representation. With a proven track record of multi-million dollar verdicts, rapid-response investigation protocols, and an unwavering commitment to client success, McKay Law continues to set the standard for excellence in commercial vehicle accident litigation.

Record-Breaking Results Speak powerfully for clients

McKay Law's truck accident practice has achieved remarkable results for clients throughout East Texas, securing substantial verdicts and settlements that have transformed lives and held negligent trucking companies accountable:

Recent Notable Recoveries:

• $8.7 million verdict for a Tyler family after an 18-wheeler hours of service violation caused a catastrophic collision on I-20
• $6.2 million settlement for a Longview resident permanently disabled by a truck maintenance failure on Highway 259
• $4.9 million recovery for a Marshall victim injured when an overweight commercial truck's brakes failed on Highway 59
• $3.8 million verdict against a trucking company for negligent hiring after an unqualified driver caused a multi-vehicle accident
• $2.6 million settlement for a Henderson family following a wrongful death caused by driver fatigue violations

These results represent more than numbers-they represent justice for families devastated by preventable truck accidents and accountability for carriers who prioritize profits over safety.

"Every case we handle involves real people whose lives have been forever changed by corporate negligence," said Lindsey McKay, founding partner at McKay Law. "Our record-breaking recoveries reflect our commitment to thorough investigation, aggressive litigation, and refusing to accept inadequate settlements from insurance companies that attempt to minimize their responsibility."

What Sets McKay Law Apart: The McKay Difference

1. Rapid Response Investigation Team

Time is critical in truck accident cases. Evidence disappears, memories fade, and electronic data gets overwritten. McKay Law's rapid response investigation team mobilizes within hours of accidents, ensuring critical evidence is preserved and documented.

"McKay Law had investigators at the accident scene the same day," recalls Jennifer M., Tyler, TX. "While I was in the hospital, they were already gathering evidence, photographing the truck, and documenting violations. That immediate action made all the difference in my case."

The firm's investigation protocol includes:

• Immediate spoliation letters to preserve electronic logging device data, maintenance records, and driver qualification files
• On-scene accident reconstruction with certified experts and advanced technology
• Comprehensive FMCSA database searches revealing carrier safety ratings and violation histories
• Expert consultation with trucking industry specialists, medical professionals, and economists
• Electronic data recovery from engine control modules, ELDs, and onboard safety systems

2. Specialized Truck Accident Expertise

Unlike general practice attorneys, McKay Law's team focuses specifically on commercial vehicle accidents, bringing deep knowledge of federal trucking regulations, FMCSA compliance requirements, and industry practices that general practitioners simply don't possess.

"After interviewing several attorneys, McKay Law was the only firm that immediately understood the technical aspects of my case involving ELD violations and hours of service regulations," shared Robert D., Longview, TX. "Their specialized knowledge made me confident I had the right team fighting for me."

McKay Law's expertise encompasses:

• Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations and violations
• Hours of service compliance and logbook analysis
• Electronic logging device requirements and data interpretation
• Vehicle maintenance standards and inspection protocols
• Driver qualification requirements and negligent hiring claims
• Cargo securement regulations and weight limit compliance
• Drug and alcohol testing program requirements
• Negligence per se doctrine application in Texas courts

3. Client-Centered Approach and Communication

McKay Law's philosophy places clients at the center of every decision, maintaining transparent communication throughout the legal process.

"I never felt like just another case number," emphasized Maria G., Marshall, TX. "My attorney returned calls promptly, explained everything in terms I could understand, and genuinely cared about my recovery. When settlement offers came in, they walked me through every option without pressure."

The firm's client satisfaction ratings reflect this commitment:

• 98% client satisfaction rating across all truck accident cases
• 4.9-star average on Google Reviews with over 250+ verified reviews
• 100% recommendation rate from past clients surveyed
• Average response time under 2 hours for client communications

What Clients Are Saying: Real Testimonials from Real People

★★★★★ "They Changed My Life" "After my accident with an 18-wheeler on I-20, I didn't know where to turn. McKay Law took my case when others said it would be too difficult. They fought for two years and secured a settlement that ensures my family's future is secure despite my permanent disabilities. They didn't just win my case-they changed my life." - Thomas K., Tyler, TX | $4.2 Million Settlement

★★★★★ "Accountability and Justice" "The trucking company tried to blame me for the accident their driver caused. McKay Law uncovered hours of service violations, falsified logbooks, and a pattern of safety violations the company tried to hide. The jury saw the truth, and we received a verdict that held them accountable. I'm grateful for attorneys who don't back down from powerful corporations." - Patricia R., Kilgore, TX | $3.6 Million Jury Verdict

★★★★★ "Expertise That Matters" "My husband died in a truck accident caused by brake failures the company knew about but ignored. McKay Law's investigation revealed maintenance records they tried to destroy and a history of putting profits over safety. While nothing brings him back, the settlement ensures our children's education is funded and this company was held responsible. These attorneys are warriors for victims." - Sandra L., Henderson, TX | $5.8 Million Wrongful Death Settlement

★★★★★ "True Advocates" "From my free consultation through trial, McKay Law treated me with respect and compassion. They advanced all costs, so I didn't pay anything upfront. They kept me informed every step of the way and prepared me thoroughly for depositions and trial. When the defense made their final offer, my attorney gave honest advice without pressure. I trusted them completely, and that trust was rewarded with an excellent outcome." - David C., Longview, TX | $2.9 Million Settlement

★★★★★ "They Fight for Maximum Compensation" "The insurance company offered $200,000 for injuries that required three surgeries and ended my career. McKay Law refused to accept that inadequate offer. They retained medical experts, economists, and vocational specialists who proved my true losses. After presenting this evidence, the settlement increased to $3.4 million-17 times the initial offer. Their refusal to settle for less changed everything for my family." - Michael B., Marshall, TX | $3.4 Million Settlement

Why Truck Accident Cases Require Specialized Representation

Truck accident cases differ substantially from standard automobile accident claims:

Complex Regulations: Federal and state trucking regulations create unique legal standards and violation consequences that general practitioners often overlook.

Multiple Defendants: Cases may involve drivers, carriers, brokers, shippers, maintenance contractors, and manufacturers-each with separate insurance and legal teams.

Sophisticated Defense: Trucking companies and their insurers employ specialized defense firms with vast resources dedicated to minimizing payouts.

Technical Evidence: Electronic logging devices, engine control modules, and telematics systems require specialized knowledge to interpret and present effectively.

Higher Stakes: Catastrophic injuries and wrongful deaths require comprehensive damage calculations and aggressive advocacy to secure full compensation.

"Insurance adjusters count on victims accepting inadequate settlements because they don't understand their true claim value," warned Lindsey McKay. "We've seen cases where initial offers were 5-10% of ultimate recoveries. Specialized knowledge and aggressive advocacy make the difference between financial struggle and full compensation."
