Dallas Texas Truck Accident Lawyers
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex sits at the crossroads of I-35, I-20, I-30, and I-45, one of the most truck-heavy regions in Texas. When an 18-wheeler crash turns your life upside down, our DFW truck accident attorneys are ready to help. Free consultation, no fee unless you win.
Dallas-Fort Worth 18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys
Dallas-Fort Worth is a logistics powerhouse. Interstate 35 splits into its eastern and western branches through the Metroplex, meeting I-20, I-30, and I-45, and the region's AllianceTexas inland port and sprawling distribution centers generate a relentless flow of tractor-trailers.
Across a metro area this large and fast-growing, that truck volume means frequent, severe collisions on corridors like the LBJ Freeway (I-635), the Dallas North Tollway, and the I-35 split. If you were hurt in a truck accident anywhere in the Metroplex, a lawyer who focuses on commercial trucking can help you pursue full compensation.
Texas Law and Your Truck Accident Claim
Texas uses a modified comparative negligence rule it calls proportionate responsibility: you can recover as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault, with your recovery reduced by your share. Cross that 51 percent line and you recover nothing, so establishing the truck driver's fault is critical.
Interstate carriers operating in Texas must follow federal rules on driver hours, maintenance, and inspections. The logs and black-box data those rules generate are powerful evidence — but only if they are preserved before they are lost.
Truck Accidents in Dallas, TX — Common Questions
How does Texas' proportionate responsibility rule affect my case?
Texas follows modified comparative negligence with a 51 percent bar: you can recover as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault, and your recovery is reduced by your share. If you are more than 50 percent to blame, you cannot recover.
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Texas?
Texas generally allows two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit, with shorter deadlines for claims against a government entity. It is best to act quickly before evidence disappears.
Who can be held responsible for a DFW truck accident?
Depending on the facts, the driver, the trucking company, the truck's owner, a maintenance contractor, or the cargo loader may share liability. Identifying all of them is key to full compensation.
What does a Dallas-Fort Worth truck accident lawyer cost?
Most work on contingency — you pay nothing unless they win — and the case review is free.
Dallas-Fort Worth — The Metroplex We're Proud to Serve
Dallas-Fort Worth is the largest metropolitan area in Texas and one of the largest in the country, home to more than 7.5 million people across Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, and dozens of surrounding cities.
Its economy spans finance, technology, defense, and, increasingly, logistics: the Metroplex's central location and highway network have made it one of the nation's biggest distribution and freight centers, anchored by developments like AllianceTexas.
That role puts enormous truck traffic on the region's interstates — the I-35E and I-35W split, I-20, I-30, I-45, and the LBJ and tollway loops — where fast speeds and heavy congestion make serious 18-wheeler crashes a genuine risk.
From downtown Dallas to west Fort Worth, it is a region we are proud to serve.
