Texas Truck Accident Basics

Filing Deadline

Texas generally gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. Claims against a government vehicle can require notice in as little as 6 months — so act early.

Fault Standard

Texas follows a modified comparative fault "51% rule." You can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault — though your award is reduced by your share of fault.

Who Can Be Liable

Truck cases often involve multiple parties — the driver, the trucking company, maintenance contractors, cargo loaders, and parts manufacturers — not just one person.

Federal Trucking Rules

Commercial carriers must follow FMCSA regulations on driver hours, inspections, and maintenance. Violations can be powerful evidence of negligence.

Evidence We Move Fast to Preserve

  • starTruck "black box" / ECM data
  • starDriver logs & hours-of-service records
  • starVehicle maintenance & inspection history
  • starDashcam & traffic camera footage

Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases, Texas law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some situations — like an injured minor or hidden injuries — can extend the deadline, while claims involving a government vehicle can require notice within about 6 months. It’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

Under Texas’s 51% rule, you can still recover compensation as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, which is why a thorough investigation matters.

We handle truck accident cases on a contingency-fee basis — there are no fees or costs until you win, and you pay nothing out of pocket to get started. Your initial case review is always free.

It’s wise to talk to an attorney first. Insurers may seek a recorded statement to limit what they pay. We can deal with the insurance company on your behalf so you can focus on recovery.

Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and how much insurance coverage is available. The best way to understand your claim is a free case review.
