Filing your truck accident claim

Navigating a complicated truck accident claim and negotiating favorable settlement takes experience and knowledge. It’s just not something a person can do on one’s own. This is where qualified truck accident attorneys come in, because enlisting the services of an attorney with years of legal practice representing truck collision victims in Texas can tip the scale in your favor.

Under Texas law, there is a limit of two years from the date of the crash within which you can file a civil lawsuit following a truck accident. Regardless of how strong or compelling your case is, if it is not brought to a Texas court before the two-year “Statute of Limitations” is up, the law may take away your right to file it.
