Sharing the roads with semis is unavoidable in Texas. It can also be extremely dangerous. Weighing 80,000 pounds or more, commercial trucks pose significant threats to smaller passenger vehicles. In a collision between the two, the semi-truck will always win. No matter how safely you drive, a negligent truck driver or trucking company could cause a catastrophic or deadly collision.

The defendant may be the trucking company for its own negligence or that of its drivers and staff members. It could also be a truck owner, manufacturing company, cargo company, third-party driver, property owner or another party.

How to Pursue Compensation in Dallas County
You have rights as the survivor of a semi-truck accident in Texas. The state’s civil justice system allows you to pursue financial compensation from the at-fault party if you can prove that a party’s negligence caused your accident. Protect this right by building your case from the start. Gather evidence while still at the scene of the crash, such as photos of your personal injuries and vehicle damages. Call the police to report the truck accident. Do not confess fault for the crash to the truck driver, the police or an insurance company. Contact a lawyer to take over your case as soon as you can to make sure you do not make any mistakes, such as missing a filing deadline.
