Landstar System Truck Accident Attorney
Landstar System, Inc. was founded in 1968 and incorporated in 1991. By 2014, XPO Logistics subsidiary National Logistics Management (NLM) purchased Landstar for $87 million, transforming the company into a significant web-based expediter throughout North America. The company expanded its deliveries into Mexico in January 2017, basing its logistics service Center in Laredo, Texas.
In 2017, Landstar System, Inc. generated an annual revenue of $3,650,000,000 with an operating income of more than $243 million. Landstar supervises over 1270 employees and more than 4685 drivers operating 4648 trucks crisscrossing America’s interstate roadway system. The company, headquartered in Jackson, Florida, is publicly traded on NASDAQ (LSTR).
Landstar System is an LTL (less than truckload) carrier, meaning the company delivers mixed freight. This type of trucking is opposite a Truckload (LT) carrier that delivers trucks containing similar products, goods, and materials to multiple locations.
Landstar System, Inc. Accidents
According to the NHTSA, truck driver fatal accidents continue to rise and have reached their highest level in more than three decades. The federal agency noted that over 880 commercial vehicle drivers and passengers died in fatal accidents in 2018.
Customers for all major trucking companies, including Landstar System, Inc., expect the transporter to meet deadlines and deliver the goods on time. Because of that, tight schedules and the increased demand for on-time delivery creates stress for truck drivers already fatigued by working long hours each day.

Financial Remedy for a Truck Accident-Related Wrongful Death or Personal Injury
Every victim injured by a commercial van, truck, or semi-tractor-trailer has the legal right to file a lawsuit or claim seeking financial damages from every party at fault. You can resolve your case successfully if you abide by Texas tort laws when presenting a case in front of a judge or filing a claim with the insurance company adjuster. These cases tend to be highly complex. All injured parties have a legal right to file a claim for financial recovery or lawsuit against the trucker, trucking company to ensure they obtain compensation through a negotiated out-of-court settlement or from a jury trial award.
A victim of a truck accident can file a claim for compensation to ensure they receive the financial recovery they deserve. The resolution of the case can ensure he or she recovers:
- Ongoing medical bills and hospital costs
- Lost past, present, and future earnings caused by time away from your job
- Rental vehicle reimbursement while your car or truck is under repair
- Physical damages including the loss of your vehicle
- Emotional trauma and mental stress
- Pain and suffering

Common Causes of a Large Commercial Vehicle Accident
Statistics by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) revealed many of the common causes associated with large commercial vehicles in the United States that include:
- Abandoning a Car in the Travel Lane – Passenger vehicles left in the roadway can be catastrophic if the truck driver is unable to come to a stop or swerve out of the way without causing a devastating accident.
- Driving Distracted – There are many distractions inside a commercial vehicle, including quick access to a mobile device, changing the radio station, or looking at a GPS device.
- Driving Under the Influence – Truckers must avoid consuming alcohol or taking illegal drugs, including stimulants, which can create a dangerous scenario for all those sharing the road.
- Drowsy Driving – Truck drivers should never operate their vehicles for long hours without taking breaks to minimize the potential of driving while tired.
- Insufficient Driver Training – Every truck driver must undergo nominal training to meet specific minimum requirements before driving a commercial vehicle on the road. As a result, most truck drivers just starting out are poorly trained with virtually no experience.
- Reckless Driving Behavior – Any driver operating their vehicle aggressively could cause severe injury or wrongful death of an innocent passenger or other motorists.
Sometimes, a commercial vehicle driver will cause an accident because of erratic movements, or they were fatigued, having worked too many hours on a tight schedule. In these cases, the trucker and the trucking company should be held legally liable for causing the crash and all the costs associated with injuries or wrongful death of innocent victims.
