What Compensation May Be Available?
A truck accident claim should account for the full impact the crash has had on your health, finances, and future. Depending on the facts, recoverable damages may include both financial losses and personal losses.
Financial losses may include:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical care
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
Personal losses may include:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Physical impairment
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Other long-term effects on daily living and independence
If the crash caused a fatal injury, surviving family members may also have the right to pursue wrongful death damages.
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit in Texas?
In most cases, Texas gives injured victims two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death claims are generally subject to that same two-year deadline as well.
Some cases may involve issues that affect timing, including:
- Wrongful death claims, which generally follow the same two-year deadline but arise from the date of death
- Claims involving minors, where special rules may affect when the limitations period begins or expires
- Claims involving government entities, which may trigger much shorter notice deadlines and added procedural requirements
- Cases with delayed factual development, where parties or legal issues may not be fully clear right away
Truck accident claims should be evaluated as early as possible. These cases often depend on records, electronic data, and other evidence that can become harder to obtain over time.
Common Truck Accident Questions
Have Questions After a Truck Wreck in Georgetown?
-
You may have grounds for a wrongful death claim. Those cases can involve compensation for both financial losses and the personal loss suffered by surviving family members.
-
Some do. Some do not. A strong case is typically built with the expectation that it may need to be tried, even if a settlement is eventually reached.
-
That does not end the case. Trucking defendants often try to shift blame. The evidence, including vehicle data, records, and witness accounts, usually matters more than the first explanation offered after the crash.
-
Possibly. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. In general, you may still recover compensation if you were not more than 50% responsible, though your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
-
Truck accident cases often involve commercial insurance, company records, multiple potential defendants, and more serious damages than an ordinary car accident claim.
