What Is My Texas Truck Accident Case Worth?
Assessing the value of a personal injury case often involves a complex analysis of the facts.
Factors that are most important when determining how much compensation you deserve include:
- How severe your injuries were
- Whether you will make a full recovery or suffer a long-term disability
- The length of your recovery period
- Your medical treatment costs
- Anticipated costs for future medical bills, rehabilitation, assistance, etc.
- The value of any income you lost because you were forced to miss work
- Any impact on your future earning capacity
- Your personal pain, suffering, and trauma
- Whether you are being blamed for your accident
- Available insurance coverage
Often, it’s important to wait until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement before you take any insurance settlement. At that point, we can bring in experts who can provide a more accurate assessment of the future impacts of your injury.
What Types of Damages Are Available to Truck Accident Victims in Texas?
Texas personal injury laws allow victims to seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages.
Any economic damages (financial losses) associated with the accident should be accounted for in your compensation award, including:
- Current medical expenses
- The cost of future medical care
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning potential
- Physical therapy
- Rehabilitation
- Property damage and vehicle repairs
Non-economic damages (personal losses) can also be important to your settlement or verdict and may include compensation for:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental trauma
- Anxiety
- Depression
- PTSD
- Diminished quality of life
- Chronic pain
- Physical disfigurement and scarring

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Truck Accident Lawyer in Texas?
Like most personal injury law firms, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means the amount of your attorneys’ fees depends on how much money your lawyer recovers in your case. When you hire us, you’ll agree to pay a fixed percentage of your compensation.
Can I Recover Compensation if I’m Being Blamed for My Truck Accident in Texas?
It depends on your percentage of fault. Texas has modified comparative negligence rules where you may lose your right to damages once your share of fault exceeds 50%. If you share some blame, but less than 51%, you can typically recover a partial compensation award. Your compensation is simply reduced to account for your share of fault.

Is There a Deadline for Requesting Compensation After a Truck Accident in Texas?
Texas personal injury laws usually give truck accident victims two years to take legal action. If you don’t file a lawsuit within two years of your injury, you may lose your right to pursue compensation entirely.
What Do I Have to Prove to Win a Texas Truck Accident Case?
After a truck accident, maximizing your compensation award can be critical to your future. It’s not always easy to prove your case. Most victims must prove negligence to recover damages. Our Texas truck accident attorneys handle negligence-based cases daily.
We can locate any evidence that can be used to prove your case, including:
- The vehicle’s black box recording device
- The truck driver’s commercial driver’s license (CDL) qualifications
- Witness statements
- Video surveillance footage
- The driver’s hours-of-service log
- Photos of the accident scene
- Accident reports
- Medical records
- Truck inspection and maintenance records
- Testimony from expert witnesses
In the end, proving negligence is our goal.
Negligence means:
- The defendant had a duty of care (which all drivers on the roads have)
- They breached their duty of care
- That breach of duty caused the accident
- You, as the victim, suffered damages
Calling a lawyer sooner rather than later is always a good idea. The strongest evidence is available right after a crash.
