# Zehl & Associates — Texas Truck & 18 Wheeler Accident Lawyers

> Zehl & Associates is an undefeated trial firm that represents people hurt or killed in truck, 18-wheeler, and other commercial-vehicle crashes across Texas and the United States. This site is the firm's truck-accident resource. The firm also handles wrongful death, oilfield accidents, plant and refinery explosions, maritime injuries, and other serious injury claims, and it works on a contingency fee.

Founded in 2006 by trial lawyer Ryan Zehl, the firm has offices in Houston (2700 Post Oak Blvd., Suite 1000, Houston, TX 77056) and Austin (98 San Jacinto, Suite 1400, Austin, TX 78701). The firm's main site also lists a Midland office at 306 W. Wall Street, Suite 701, Midland, TX 79701. The firm serves clients throughout Texas, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Odessa, and San Antonio. This site's truck-accident line is 1-888-839-5444, answered 24/7 for a free consultation. The firm can also be reached at (713) 491-6064.

Every lawyer at the firm is a trial attorney. The firm has recovered billions for accident victims, including record truck verdicts and settlements and a record $100 million settlement for a group of workers injured in a refinery explosion. Clients do not pay unless the firm wins the case. Nine of the firm's attorneys were selected to the 2026 edition of Best Lawyers in America.

Published truck results include a $37.5 million verdict, a $35 million settlement, a $32 million oilfield-truck settlement, an $18.5 million verdict against Greyhound, and a $4.2 million verdict against R&L Carriers. The full list is on the victories page linked below.
