To recover compensation after a Texas truck crash, you generally must show that a negligent driver, trucking company, or other party caused your injuries and losses.

Four Key Elements

  • Duty of Care: Commercial truck drivers and trucking companies must follow federal safety regulations and the rules of the road.
  • Breach of Duty: A driver or carrier may breach that duty through speeding, driver fatigue, improper cargo loading, poor vehicle maintenance, or other unsafe practices.
  • Causation: You must connect the breach to your crash and injuries. Evidence may include the crash report, black box data, driver logs, witness statements, video, and vehicle damage.
  • Damages: You must establish the losses caused by the crash, which may include medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and physical pain and mental anguish.
