Texas Statute of Limitations for Truck Accidents
Texas law imposes a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury victims who wish to file a lawsuit. According to the statute, you must submit a lawsuit within two years of the date of your accident.
If you fail to file a lawsuit within the two-year period, you may no longer qualify to receive a financial recovery for your injuries and financial losses. Therefore, you must submit a claim before the deadline is up.

Who Is Responsible for Your Truck Accident Injuries?
To prove who is negligent in your truck accident, we generally need to prove the following criteria:
- Duty of care: The other party owed you a duty of care to keep you safe while driving.
- Breach of duty: The other party breached this duty of care in some way, thereby putting you in harm’s way.
- Causation: The other party’s breach of duty must have caused the accident.
- Damages: You have material and emotional losses resulting from the accident.
While proving the above criteria establishes a negligent party, the negligent party is not always the one liable, or responsible for covering your losses. In a truck accident, there may be one or more parties responsible for your injuries. In many of the cases we handle, the liable parties may include:
Another Driver
You may have sustained injuries as a result of another driver’s reckless driving. The driver may have been distracted, drunk, or careless.
Commercial Trucking Manufacturer or Carrier
A commercial company may be responsible for the accident and your subsequent injuries. The liable parties may include:
- The company managing the truck
- The owner of the commercial truck
- A truck manufacturer
- An auto parts manufacturer
- A truck inspection company
Shipping or Distribution Company
The shipping company may have poor driver accountability rules, or it may have failed to properly vet the driver during the hiring process. So, the company may have hired an irresponsible or inexperienced driver.
A D. Miller & Associates, PLLC™ attorney can review your case to determine who is at fault and how we should proceed with your claim. Call for a consultation with our law firm today at (713) 850-8600.
