How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in Texas?

In most cases, Texas law allows two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Speaking with a lawyer early helps preserve trucking evidence and protect your claim.

Why are truck accident cases different from car accidents?

Truck accident cases often involve multiple liable parties and additional evidence like driver logs, electronic data, maintenance records, and compliance with federal trucking regulations.

Who can be held responsible for a Texas truck accident?

Liability may include the truck driver, the trucking company, a vehicle owner, a maintenance provider, a broker/shipper, or other parties depending on the facts of the crash.

What compensation can I recover after a truck accident in Texas?

Depending on the case, you may recover medical expenses, future care costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and property damage.

How much does it cost to hire a Texas truck accident lawyer?

There are no upfront legal fees. Truck accident cases are typically handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless compensation is recovered.

What should I do after an 18-wheeler accident in Texas?

Seek medical care, call 911, document the scene, get witness information, and avoid giving recorded statements to the trucking company’s insurer before speaking with a lawyer.

Why You Need a Texas Truck Accident Attorney

Fighting for the Compensation You Deserve After a Truck Crash

Truck accident cases are distinct from ordinary car crashes because:
• Commercial vehicles are governed by federal and state trucking regulations
• Multiple parties (drivers, trucking companies, insurers, leasing firms) may share liability
• Evidence must be preserved quickly (black box data, logbooks, maintenance records)

At Wayne Wright LLP, we handle complexities like:
• FMCSA compliance violations
• Hours-of-Service logs
• Driver fatigue or substance impairment
• Improper vehicle maintenance
• Overloaded freight

We aim to maximize your compensation for:
• Emergency care and ongoing medical treatment
• Hospital bills and rehabilitation
• Lost wages and future earning loss
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability
• Wrongful death damages

Our attorneys prepare each case as if it will go to trial — because insurers take strong preparation seriously.

At Wayne Wright, we understand that you have concerns when dealing with a personal injury case. Our team of experienced truck accident lawyers are here to guide you through the process and answer your most pressing questions. Below, you’ll find answers to common queries we receive from clients just like you.

What should I do if I was hit by a truck in Texas?

Immediately seek medical care, contact law enforcement, document the scene (photos/video), exchange information, and call a truck accident lawyer before talking to insurers.

What damages can I recover after a Texas truck accident?

Typical recoverable damages include medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, future treatment costs, and property damage — and in some cases punitive damages when conduct is especially negligent.

Is trucking company liability different from car driver liability?

Yes — trucking companies are subject to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, and their violations often become critical evidence.

How long do I have to file a truck accident case in Texas?

In most cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the crash, but earlier legal action is recommended to preserve evidence.

Do I need a lawyer if my injuries seem minor?

Even seemingly minor injuries can worsen over time. A lawyer protects your rights, handles insurer pressure, and ensures your claim reflects the full impact of the accident.
