How Can Negligence Lead to Truck Accidents?

While collisions are inevitable, truck accidents resulting from negligence can open the door to injury lawsuits. Below are some common causes of truck accident claims:

Driver fatigue. Truck operators often spend long hours on the road, leading to potential fatigue, impaired judgment, and delayed reaction times.
Distracted driving. Operating a truck while texting, talking on the phone, eating, or drinking can increase the risk of collisions.
Speeding. Exceeding posted speed limits can lead to serious accidents, especially for large trucks with longer stopping distances.
Improper loading. Incorrectly loaded or overloaded trucks can affect vehicle stability and handling, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
Poor maintenance. Faulty brakes, worn tires, and other negligent maintenance can contribute to mechanical failures and truck accidents.

How Long Do I Have to File a Truck Accident Claim?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for truck accident claims is two years from the date of the accident. Seeking swift counsel is paramount to maintaining eligibility for damages. Our firm can help you file a timely claim, track important deadlines, and navigate the claims process efficiently.

Who Is Liable for a Truck Accident?

Proving liability in truck accidents can be tricky due to the multiple parties involved. Our attorneys have a deep understanding of these legal nuances to identify responsible parties and gather evidence to meet the burden of proof in your claim.

Some potentially liable parties include:

The truck driver. The truck operator may be liable if their negligence contributed to the accident, such as driving too fast for the load weight or road conditions.
The trucking company. The truck company may be responsible for damages if it failed to hire qualified drivers or follow safety protocols.
Cargo loaders. If the truck accident resulted from overloading or inadequate securement, the cargo loaders may be liable.
Vehicle manufacturers. The vehicle manufacturer can be held liable if a faulty part or equipment caused the collision, such as a brake failure.
Maintenance crews. If the accident occurred due to negligent maintenance or repairs, the maintenance company may be liable.

What Damages Are Recoverable in a Truck Accident Claim?

Truck accidents often result in significant medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and emotional distress. Our attorneys can calculate both direct and indirect losses to pursue the maximum compensation available to you.

Common types of recoverable compensation include:

Economic damages for direct financial losses, such as property damage, healthcare costs, lost income, and loss of earning capacity.
Non-economic damages for indirect losses, such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent scarring or disfigurement.

Can I Recover Damages if I Was Partially At Fault for a Truck Accident on Loop 610?

If you are partially at fault for a truck accident on Loop 610, you can still recover compensation under Texas’ modified comparative negligence rule as long as your share of the fault is less than 51%.

However, any compensation awarded will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of the liability. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for an accident totaling $50,000 in damages, you may only be eligible to recover $40,000.

Insurers often place undue blame on victims to evade just payouts. Having an experienced lawyer on your side is critical to protecting your right to full compensation. We can clearly document your injuries and losses to pursue a favorable outcome.

I Was Injured in a Wide-Turn Accident on I-10. Am I Eligible for Compensation if the Truck Had a Warning Sign?

If you were injured in a wide-turn accident on I-10, the driver may still be liable even if the truck had a warning sign. While these advisory markings alert other drivers to the vehicle’s turning limitations, they do not automatically release the driver from liability.

If the truck operator failed to check their mirrors or blind spots, did not use proper signaling, or turned too quickly or sharply for current traffic conditions, the driver or trucking company may be liable for your injuries.

At JJ Law, we can thoroughly investigate the accident, analyze fault and contributory negligence, gather evidence of driver or company negligence, and negotiate with insurers to secure the settlement you deserve.
