Truck Accident Lawyer Dallas Texas

Representing victims of 18-Wheeler Accidents Semi Truck Crashes Jackknife & Rollover Wrecks Commercial Vehicle Collisions

A collision with an 80,000-pound commercial truck is not an ordinary car wreck. Within hours, the trucking company’s insurer sends investigators to the scene, secures the driver’s logs and moves to limit what it will ever pay you.

TALDT represents injured drivers, passengers and grieving families across Dallas, Fort Worth and the surrounding counties — preserving black-box data, hours-of-service records and maintenance files, and holding motor carriers, brokers and their insurers accountable for the full cost of what they caused.

The Basics

Understanding Truck Accident Claims in Texas

A truck accident claim is not the same as an ordinary car accident claim. When a fully loaded semi truck or 18-wheeler is involved, you are usually not dealing with a single driver and a single insurance policy. You may be dealing with the driver, the trucking company, the owner of the trailer, the business that loaded the cargo, and sometimes a separate maintenance contractor.

Each of these parties typically carries its own insurance, and each insurer's goal is to limit what it pays out. Commercial trucking companies are also regulated by federal and state rules covering hours of service, vehicle maintenance, and driver qualifications — which is why many injured victims search for a dedicated truck accident lawyer rather than handling a claim on their own.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Texas generally allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, though exceptions can apply. Because evidence can disappear quickly in truck accident cases, it is best to speak with a lawyer well before that deadline. (Source: Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003.)

Do I need a truck accident lawyer, or can I handle the claim myself?

Truck accident claims often involve multiple insurance policies and responsible parties. An injury lawyer for truck accidents can help identify who may be liable and manage communication with insurers on your behalf.

What if the trucking company or its insurer contacts me?

You are not required to give a recorded statement right away. It is reasonable to let them know you will respond after speaking with legal counsel.
