Truck cases rarely have a single defendant. Identifying every responsible party is what opens up additional insurance coverage.
The Truck Driver
Speeding, distraction, impairment, or driving past federal hours-of-service limits.
The Trucking Company
Negligent hiring, inadequate training, skipped maintenance, or schedules that push drivers past legal limits.
Shipper or Cargo Loader
Overloaded, unbalanced, or unsecured freight that causes rollovers, spills, or lost loads.
Manufacturer or Maintenance Shop
Defective brakes, tires, coupling systems, or underride guards — and botched repairs.
Texas Rules That Shape Every Truck Accident Claim
Three legal points affect nearly every practice area listed above.
Two-Year Filing Deadline
Texas generally gives two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit, with limited exceptions. Truck evidence such as ELD logs can be overwritten long before that deadline.
Source: Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)
You can still recover damages if you were partly at fault, but recovery is reduced by your percentage of responsibility — and barred entirely if you are found more than 50% at fault.
Source: Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 33.001Federal FMCSA Regulations
Interstate carriers must follow federal rules on driver hours, qualification files, inspection, maintenance, and drug and alcohol testing. Documented violations support a negligence claim.
