Truck crashes are devastating — we match you with an experienced Katy-area 18-wheeler accident attorney in 60 seconds, at no cost to you.
An 18-wheeler outweighs your car by 20 to 30 times. When one hits you, the damage is rarely minor. Broken bones. Spinal injuries. Traumatic brain injuries. Weeks or months away from work. And on top of all that pain, trucking companies send their own lawyers and adjusters to protect themselves — not you.
Insurance companies move fast. They want a quick, low settlement before you know what your injuries really are. Without the right attorney in your corner, you could be left covering medical bills and lost income on your own. You deserve someone who knows how to fight back — and we can connect you with that person today.
Texas law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. That sounds like a long time, but evidence disappears fast — truck black box data, driver logs, and camera footage can be lost or overwritten quickly. Don't wait. The sooner you act, the stronger your case.
Nothing upfront. Attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no attorney fees unless your case is won or settled. Your first step — getting matched — is completely free.
First, get to safety and call 911. Get medical attention even if you feel okay — some injuries show up days later. Document everything: photos of the scene, vehicle damage, your injuries, and the truck's plates and company name. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking to an attorney. Then contact HurtMatch to get connected with a truck accident lawyer right away.
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months once liability is clear and medical treatment is complete. Cases that go to trial can take a year or more. Your attorney will pursue the most efficient path while protecting your rights — and we'll match you with someone who will keep you informed every step of the way.
Truck accident cases are far more complex. They involve federal trucking regulations, multiple potentially liable parties (the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, the maintenance provider), and aggressive corporate defense teams. You need an attorney who specifically handles commercial truck cases — not just any personal injury lawyer. That's exactly who HurtMatch connects you with.
In Katy, 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.
