Should I accept an insurance offer without consulting with an attorney?
Insurance companies will often lowball victims of personal injuries. These settlements can be significantly lower than an attorney can recover in damages and negotiations with the insurance company. To maximize the damages recovered by victims and their families, it is best to work with an attorney in your area specializing in truck accidents.
After an accident involving a passenger vehicle and a large commercial truck, the victim should focus on the most important thing – their health and recovery. Dealing with insurance companies and recouping damages can be left to the professionals.

Texas truck crashes cause significant damage.
Commercial truck crash fatalities in the United States have increased in the last three reporting years (2019 - 2021). According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, over 155,000 people were injured, including 5,788 fatalities reported in large truck crashes during this country's latest reporting year (2021). These crashes are often caused by negligence by the driver or truck company.
Truck drivers should always follow all regulations regarding the safe operation of their vehicles, including taking proper rest/sleep breaks and not driving while impaired or distracted.
Truck companies must regularly inspect and maintain each vehicle to ensure that no part of the truck fails while moving on the roadways.

What is the statute of limitations for truck injuries in Texas?
For many civil cases involving damages from injuries, jurisdictions will outline a time limit, or statute of limitations, for a personal injury victim to file suit. Per Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Sec. 16.003, In the State of Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury.
Due to the two-year statute of limitations associated with personal injuries in Texas, it is best to consult with a truck accident attorney immediately after an accident occurs. While victims recover from injuries suffered, our lawyers can begin the research mandated to help recoup damages for what was lost in the accident.
What kind of damages can be recovered from a truck accident?
