Fort Worth 18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys
Fort Worth is a freight and industrial powerhouse in its own right. Interstate 35W runs north-south through the city, meeting I-30 and I-20, and the AllianceTexas logistics hub and Fort Worth's rail yards generate heavy tractor-trailer traffic across Tarrant County.
That volume, on fast and often congested highways, makes serious truck collisions common. If you were injured by a commercial truck in Fort Worth, a lawyer who focuses on commercial trucking can help you pursue full compensation.
Texas Law and Your Fort Worth Claim
Texas follows modified comparative negligence, called proportionate responsibility: you can recover as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault, with your recovery reduced by your share. Beyond 51 percent, you recover nothing.
Federal rules on driver hours, maintenance, and inspections govern interstate carriers, and the records they require are powerful evidence. They can disappear quickly, so acting fast matters. Texas generally allows two years to file.
