Free · No fee unless you win
Big rigs cause serious injuries — you need a serious attorney on your side today.
An 18-wheeler crash doesn't just total your car. It can shatter bones, end careers, and turn your entire life upside down in seconds. Trucking companies and their insurers have lawyers working immediately after a crash. You deserve the same.
The clock starts ticking the moment the accident happens. Evidence disappears. Trucking companies preserve what helps them and lose what doesn't. Every day you wait without legal representation is a day the other side uses to build their case against you.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. Miss that deadline and you likely lose your right to pursue compensation entirely. Don't wait — contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Nothing upfront. Attorneys in the HurtMatch network work on contingency — meaning you pay no attorney fees unless they win your case. The initial match through HurtMatch is also completely free.
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months once liability is clear. Others involving disputed facts or serious injuries can take a year or more. An attorney will give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your specific situation.
First, get medical attention — even if you feel okay. Then call the police and get a report. Document everything you can: photos, names, truck company info, and witness contacts. Do not give recorded statements to any insurance adjuster before speaking with an attorney.
Trucking companies carry large commercial policies and deploy claims adjusters trained to minimize payouts. An experienced truck accident attorney knows how to investigate these cases, who the liable parties really are — which can include the driver, the carrier, a shipper, or a maintenance company — and how to negotiate from a position of strength.
In Fort Worth, Texas, injury cases follow the same statewide rules — but local courts and insurance adjusters have their own patterns. The attorney we match you with knows them.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003 gives you exactly 2 years from the date of injury to file suit. Miss it and your case is over — there is no extension, no exception for "I didn't know I could sue." Wrongful death claims have the same 2-year window from the date of death.
Texas uses Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §33.001. You can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault. If you are 51%+ at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance companies know this rule and aggressively try to push fault percentages above 50%. An experienced attorney pushes back.
Texas caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 per defendant (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §74.301). There are no caps in standard auto, premises, or product cases — making attorney negotiation skill the deciding factor in your final number.
