A Truck Accident Lawyer Understands This Type of Personal Injury
An accident between a car and a large truck increases the risk of severe injuries and death. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Texas is one of ten states with the highest average number of truck accidents.

- Jackknife
- Drive-under
- Head-on
- Rear-end

An Attorney Can Help You Pursue Recovery
Depending on the circumstances of your truck accident, you could be entitled to recover damages. If the truck driver is primarily responsible for the collision, you may be entitled to financial recovery for:
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost pay
- Reduced earning ability (if you can no longer work at your previous job or have other limitations resulting from the accident)
- Car and property repair or replacement
- Temporary or permanent disability
- Disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
A lawyer may be able to negotiate an acceptable settlement with the truck driver’s insurance company. This means that your case may be settled amicably without filing a lawsuit. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, Texas law generally allows two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Please call our firm at 713-850-8600 for a free case evaluation.

How a Lawyer Can Help Get You Recovery if You Qualify
Truck accidents occur in a matter of seconds. Sometimes, deciding who is primarily to blame for the collision is difficult. If you were severely injured, you may not have a clear memory of the events that occurred right before, during, or after the accident. You may be currently taking medication, which could also make it difficult to remember details of the accident.
Our injury lawyers have several ways of helping you get financial recovery if someone else caused the accident and was the at-fault party. This process begins with determining liability for the accident.
Some factors used to determine liability include:
- Did the truck driver have a duty of care to take reasonable measures to avoid the accident?
- Did the truck driver breach this duty of care for whatever reason? (For example, texting while driving)
- Did this breach cause the accident and your injuries?
- Do you have physical, emotional, and financial damages?
You must keep all medical bills and other proof of accident-related expenses. Your truck accident lawyer will include these in the insurance claim.
