Truck accident cases often involve multiple liable parties. Our attorneys investigate every potential source of compensation, including:
- The truck driver (for negligence, fatigue, distraction, or impairment)
- The trucking company (for negligent hiring, training, or supervision)
- Cargo loading companies (for improper loading causing instability)
- Truck manufacturers (for defective parts or components)
- Maintenance providers (for negligent repairs or inspections)
- Government entities (for unsafe road conditions)
By identifying all responsible parties, we maximize your potential compensation and ensure that all negligent actors are held accountable.
Dealing With Insurance Companies
After a truck accident, insurance adjusters will quickly contact you seeking statements and offering quick settlements. These initial offers rarely reflect the true value of your claim.
Our experienced attorneys handle all communications with insurance companies, protecting you from tactics designed to minimize your compensation. We know how to counter lowball offers and build compelling cases that demonstrate the full extent of your damages.
Never accept an insurance settlement after a truck accident without consulting an attorney first. Once you accept, you cannot seek additional compensation even if your injuries worsen.
Calculating Full and Fair Compensation
Truck accident injuries often require extensive medical treatment and can impact your ability to work and enjoy life. Our attorneys work with medical experts, economists, and life care planners to calculate the full value of your damages, including:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage
- Potential punitive damages in cases of gross negligence
We ensure that your settlement accounts for both your immediate needs and long-term consequences of your injuries.
Litigation and Trial Representation
While many truck accident cases settle before trial, we prepare every case as if it will go to court. Our trial attorneys have extensive experience presenting complex truck accident cases to juries and have secured numerous favorable verdicts.
We invest in cutting-edge courtroom technology, compelling visual exhibits, and expert testimony to clearly demonstrate liability and the extent of your damages to judges and juries.
Our reputation as skilled trial attorneys often motivates insurance companies to offer fair settlements rather than face us in court.

Call For Free Consultation: 555-123-4567Understanding Federal Trucking Regulations
Semi-truck accidents often involve violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. Our Dallas semi truck accident attorneys have in-depth knowledge of these complex regulations and how they apply to your case.
Common regulatory violations that contribute to truck accidents include:
- Hours of Service Violations - Drivers exceeding legal driving time limits, leading to fatigue
- Improper Maintenance - Failure to inspect and maintain brakes, tires, and other critical components
- Weight Violations - Overloaded trucks that are difficult to control and stop
- Licensing Violations - Unqualified or improperly licensed drivers operating commercial vehicles
- Drug and Alcohol Testing Violations - Failure to screen drivers or remove impaired drivers from service
Identifying these violations strengthens your case by establishing clear negligence and potentially supporting claims for punitive damages.
Trucking companies are required by law to maintain specific records, but these critical pieces of evidence can "disappear" if not secured quickly after an accident.

How soon after a truck accident should I contact an attorney?
You should contact a Dallas semi truck accident attorney as soon as possible after your accident. Critical evidence like the truck's black box data, driver logs, and company records can disappear quickly. The trucking company will have investigators and attorneys working immediately to protect their interests. Having your own legal representation from the start ensures your rights are protected and vital evidence is preserved.
What compensation can I recover in a Dallas truck accident case?
Victims of semi-truck accidents in Dallas may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage
- In cases of gross negligence, punitive damages
Our attorneys work with medical and economic experts to calculate the full value of your current and future damages.
How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including truck accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline. Additionally, critical evidence needs to be preserved much sooner. We recommend contacting our Dallas semi truck accident attorneys immediately to ensure you don't lose your right to compensation.
What if I was partially at fault for the truck accident?
Texas follows a "modified comparative negligence" rule, which means you can still recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys work diligently to minimize any assignment of fault to you and maximize your recovery.
How much does it cost to hire a Dallas semi truck accident attorney?
Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and no attorney fees unless we win your case. We advance all costs associated with investigating and litigating your claim, including expert witness fees, court costs, and other expenses. This arrangement allows you to access high-quality legal representation regardless of your financial situation.
