Showing the 50 most recent of 125 matching rows.

Why these columns: a crash enters the federal file only when it involved a death, an injury taken for immediate medical care, or a vehicle towed disabled from the scene — the federal reportable-crash threshold. Property-damage-only crashes below that threshold are not in this record.

Who insures Mercer Transportation Company trucks — and for how much?

Liability insurance is the coverage carriers file with federal regulators (the federal category is called "BIPD" — Bodily Injury & Property Damage). The figure below is this carrier's filed limit — a compliance floor, not necessarily the full coverage available.

ACTIVE FILINGS (ALL TYPES): 4 | SELF-INSURED: No

What these records mean if you were injured

Fleet-wide averages don't decide individual cases. Liability turns on what this specific driver, dispatcher, and truck's logs show in the hours before your crash.

Across 4039 federal inspections in the past two years, Mercer Transportation Company's vehicle out-of-service rate (12.3%) places in the typical range of comparable high-inspection-volume carriers with crash records.

$1M in liability coverage is on file — 1.3× the $750K federal floor for general freight.

In Texas, a personal-injury lawsuit must generally be filed within 2 years of the crash.

For the most recent crash on this record, that general window runs to about May 2028.

For a death, the deadline generally runs from the date of death, not the crash date — FMCSA counts a death within 30 days of the crash as a crash fatality.

There are exceptions — which ones apply to your case is a lawyer's job.

What to do if you were injured in a Mercer Transportation Company crash

Federal records document crashes; they don't assign fault — fault is established by investigation, police reports, and litigation.

The carrier named here may not be the only responsible party — brokers, shippers, and manufacturers sit outside this record, each on their own clock.

This record is attached to your submission — your attorney starts with the evidence already pulled.

Why timing matters

State law may give you years to file a claim — but the evidence often doesn't last that long. Dashcam and onboard data can be overwritten within days. Federal rules require carriers to keep a driver's electronic logs (ELD) for only six months; after that, deletion is lawful. A preservation letter from an attorney puts the carrier on formal notice — destroying evidence after that point risks court sanctions.
