Why Conroe Chooses Erik F. Garza for UPS Delivery Accidents
UPS delivery accidents involve complex corporate liability issues. After a crash happened, UPS sends investigators to protect its interests within hours. Erik F. Garza responds just as fast. His law firm sends preservation demands within 24 hours, forcing UPS to retain delivery logs, GPS tracking data, black box records, and driver files before the company overwrites or discards them. Urgent evidence preservation can make a significant difference in cases involving corporations.
- Evidence secured within 24 hours. UPS trucks often utilize telematics and GPS data for tracking. That data is overwritten on short cycles. Erik’s team locks it down before it vanishes, including ELD records, route data, braking logs, and dispatch schedules.
- Insider knowledge of corporate defense tactics. Before representing injured Texans, Erik worked inside corporate legal departments at ExxonMobil and Noble Energy. He knows how large companies structure defenses, shield records, and shift blame to the injured person.
- 100% truck accident focus. This firm handles truck accident cases, car accident cases, and fatal accident cases involving commercial vehicles. No general personal injury distractions, no learning curve when complex federal motor carrier regulations apply.
- Trial-ready preparation on every case. Most commercial truck accident lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis; Erik does too. The difference is that UPS and its insurance companies know he files suit and goes to court when they lowball offers, which forces higher settlements before trial.
Our UPS Delivery Accident Services
UPS Package Truck Crashes
Brown UPS delivery trucks make dozens of stops daily throughout Conroe neighborhoods, shopping centers, and business districts. Each stop creates risk: backing accidents in parking lots, rear-end collisions at intersections, side-swipe crashes on narrow residential streets. Truck drivers can be liable for speeding or distraction. We investigate the specifics of how the UPS driver caused the crash, pull the vehicle’s GPS and telematics records, and identify every responsible party.
UPS Freight and Tractor-Trailer Accidents
UPS freight trucks traveling I-45, TX-105, and Loop 336 weigh up to 80,000 pounds loaded. Montgomery County reported 671 commercial motor vehicle crashes in 2024, including 8 fatal crashes and 17 serious-injury crashes. Harris County recorded 6,313 commercial vehicle crashes in 2024, with 41 fatal truck crashes. Houston is a major hub for commercial trucking activity in the U.S., and these corridors carry heavy freight traffic daily. When a commercial truck collides with a passenger vehicle at highway speed, the injuries are catastrophic. These cases require knowledge of FMCSA hours-of-service limits, drug and alcohol testing requirements, and carrier safety records.
UPS Driver Negligence Claims
Distracted driving, failure to yield, running traffic signs, and backing without looking are common causes of UPS crashes in Conroe TX. Negligent truck drivers often cause accidents by speeding or distraction. Driver fatigue also increases accident risk for delivery trucks; trucking companies may pressure drivers to exceed federal work hour limits to meet strict delivery schedules. We pull driver qualification files, training records, prior violation history, and drug and alcohol test results to build the negligence case.
UPS Corporate Liability
Multiple parties may be liable in truck accidents. Beyond the UPS driver, we pursue claims against every responsible party in the chain:
- Trucking companies may be liable for negligent hiring practices, including failing to screen drivers with prior violations or impaired-driving histories.
- Maintenance companies may be liable for mechanical failures. Faulty truck parts can lead to serious accidents on the road, from brake failure to tire blowouts. We identify every maintenance provider in the vehicle’s service history.
- Cargo loaders can be liable for improperly loaded trucks. Improperly loaded cargo can cause trucks to tip over or lose control, especially on curves along Loop 336 or highway on-ramps.
- UPS corporate policies that create unrealistic delivery schedules, skip required vehicle inspections, or tolerate safety violation records contribute to crashes. We hold the delivery company accountable for those decisions.
Complex liability in trucking incidents often involves employers and maintenance contractors. Local attorneys familiar with county courts can better navigate legal nuances in Montgomery County district courts and, when UPS removes a case, in the Southern District of Texas in Houston TX.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a UPS delivery truck accident lawsuit in Texas?
Texas law allows two years from the crash date to file a personal injury lawsuit under Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003. Wrongful death claims must also be filed within two years of the death. But the filing deadline is not your real constraint. Evidence like driver logs must be collected quickly after an accident. GPS data, dashcam footage, and ELD records can be overwritten within 72 hours. Physical evidence (vehicle parts, inspection tags) may be gone within 30 to 60 days if the truck is repaired or scrapped. Calling within the first 24 hours lets us send preservation demands before UPS destroys what you need.
What if UPS says their driver wasn’t at fault for the crash?
Trucking companies often send investigators to accident scenes quickly to build their defense. We do the same. Our team photographs the scene, collects witness statements, and reconstructs the accident using telematics data and, when needed, accident reconstruction experts. Comparative fault laws in Texas allow recovery if the injured party is 50% or less at fault. So even if UPS argues you share some blame, you can still seek compensation. Never give a recorded statement to UPS or its insurer before speaking to an accident lawyer.
How much does it cost to hire a Conroe UPS accident lawyer?
$0 upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis; no attorney fees unless we win your case. We advance all case costs and only get paid when you receive compensation. Your initial consultation is 100% free with no obligation.
What evidence do you need to win a UPS delivery accident case?
We pursue every record that ties the crash to UPS negligence:
- UPS delivery logs and dispatch schedules showing delivery pressures
- GPS tracking and telematics data (speed, braking, route deviations)
- Electronic Logging Device records showing hours of service and rest periods
- Driver employment records, training files, and prior violations
- Drug and alcohol test history (FMCSA requires carriers to retain positive test results for 5 years)
- Vehicle maintenance and inspection records from every maintenance provider
- Witness statements and police reports
Emergency consultations are crucial for preserving evidence after an accident. Some of these records have fixed retention periods under FMCSA rules (ELD logs as short as 6 months), so delay costs you proof.
What compensation can I recover after a UPS accident?
Victims can claim medical bills after a truck accident, including emergency medical care, surgery, physical therapy, and ongoing rehabilitation costs. Lost wages can be pursued during recovery from injuries, including future lost income if serious injuries prevent you from returning to work. Compensation may include pain and suffering damages for physical pain and emotional distress (non economic damages). Property damage claims cover vehicle repair or replacement costs. Wrongful death claims can be filed by surviving family members when a UPS crash causes a fatality. We pursue maximum compensation by documenting every category of loss, from medical expenses and medical treatment costs to lost wages and long-term disability.
