Speeding and Reckless Truck Driving Accident
The Role of Our Attorneys in Speeding or Reckless Driving Cases
When you’re hit by a commercial truck, the impact can be catastrophic—especially if the crash was caused by speeding or reckless driving. Large trucks traveling at excessive speeds have longer stopping distances, reduced control, and a much higher risk of causing severe injuries or fatalities. At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we help Austin victims of 18-wheeler crashes hold negligent truck drivers and their employers accountable.
Whether the collision occurred on I-35, US-183, or a local route in South Austin, our legal team conducts a thorough investigation to determine whether excessive speed, aggressive driving, or unsafe maneuvers contributed to the crash.
Why Choose Kelley Wolff Law for Your Truck Accident Case?
At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we represent clients injured in a wide range of truck accidents, with a focus on those caused by:
-
Speeding – Truck drivers who exceed posted limits or drive too fast for conditions create dangerous situations for everyone on the road.
-
Reckless Lane Changes – Sudden or unsafe lane shifts without signaling can lead to sideswipes, jackknifes, and rollover crashes.
-
Tailgating and Aggressive Driving – Commercial drivers who follow too closely or exhibit road rage behaviors put lives at risk.
-
Failure to Adjust Speed in Poor Conditions – Wet roads, heavy traffic, and construction zones require slower speeds. Ignoring these conditions can be deadly.
-
Improper Passing or Weaving Through Traffic – When truck drivers ignore traffic laws or drive aggressively to meet deadlines, the consequences are often severe.
How We Help Victims of Truck Speeding and Reckless Driving Accidents in Austin
Truck accidents involving excessive speed or reckless behavior demand swift legal action and access to critical evidence. Our experienced team at Kelley Wolff Law gets to work immediately by:
-
Securing black box (EDR) data that tracks vehicle speed and braking
-
Reviewing dash cam footage, surveillance video, and GPS data
-
Interviewing witnesses and reconstructing the accident scene
-
Evaluating the driver’s safety record, employer training protocols, and hours-of-service compliance
-

What Compensation Can You Recover?
Victims of speeding or reckless truck accidents may be entitled to significant compensation under Texas law, including:
-
Emergency and ongoing medical care
-
Rehabilitation and therapy costs
-
Lost income and diminished earning capacity
-
Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
-
Property damage and vehicle replacement
-
Compensation for permanent injuries or disabilities
-
Wrongful death benefits, if a loved one was lost in the crash
We fight for the full value of your claim to make sure you’re not left paying for someone else’s reckless actions.
Trucking Companies Know the Rules—But Often Ignore Them
Speeding and reckless driving are clear violations of both state traffic laws and federal trucking regulations. Yet, many trucking companies prioritize delivery deadlines over safety, pressuring drivers to speed or cut corners.
At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we know how to expose these dangerous practices and hold all responsible parties accountable. We:
-
Act quickly to preserve electronic and physical evidence
-
Investigate the trucking company’s hiring, training, and disciplinary records
-
Identify all available insurance policies and liable entities
-
Take the case to court when insurers fail to offer fair compensation
