Truck accidents are devastating — we connect you with experienced Houston attorneys in 60 seconds, at no cost to you.
An 18-wheeler can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. When one hits you, the damage is not like a normal car accident. You may be dealing with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, lost income, and a recovery that stretches for months — or longer. It's overwhelming, and it happens fast.
Trucking companies have lawyers working for them immediately after a crash. Their job is to protect the company, not you. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. Every day you wait puts you at a disadvantage. You deserve someone fighting on your side — right now.
In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you could lose your right to pursue compensation entirely. Do not wait — contact us today.
Nothing upfront. The attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no attorney fees unless your case results in a recovery. Your free match through HurtMatch costs you nothing either.
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months. Others — especially those involving serious injuries or disputed liability — can take a year or more. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
First, get medical attention — even if you feel okay. Call 911 and get a police report. Document everything: photos, witness names, the truck's DOT number and license plate. Do not give recorded statements to the trucking company's insurer. Then contact HurtMatch to get connected with an attorney fast.
Truck accident cases involve federal regulations, commercial insurance policies, multiple liable parties, and evidence like black box data and driver logs that must be preserved quickly. A general injury attorney may not know how to pursue all of it. We match you with attorneys who do.
In Houston, 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.
