Two rules matter more than almost anything else in a Texas injury case.
A commercial motor carrier operating in interstate commerce is typically required to carry substantially more liability coverage than a private driver, and a single crash may implicate the driver, the motor carrier, a broker, a shipper, a trailer owner and one or more excess carriers. Identifying every applicable policy early is one of the biggest drivers of case value.
Texas leads the nation in commercial truck miles traveled, and the I-10, I-35 and I-45 corridors produce a disproportionate share of catastrophic 18-wheeler collisions. Oilfield and energy-sector truck traffic in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford adds another layer of commercial policies to identify.

Evidence disappears long before the filing deadline does — surveillance video is overwritten, truck data is lost when a vehicle is repaired, and witnesses move away. A free review costs nothing and takes about a minute.

These results were not necessarily obtained in Texas and are not representative of typical outcomes. Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future case. Every case is different and results depend on liability, the severity and documentation of injuries, available insurance coverage, applicable state law and other factors. Amounts shown are gross recoveries before attorney fees, litigation costs, medical bills and liens. Most claims resolve for substantially less, and some result in no recovery at all.
The general rule is 2 years (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003). That is a starting point, not an answer — different deadlines apply to claims against government entities, wrongful death actions, claims involving minors, and certain insurance claims. Confirm your specific deadline with a licensed Texas attorney rather than relying on a website.
Texas calls it proportionate responsibility. You may recover as long as your share of the fault is 50% or less, reduced by that share. Once your responsibility exceeds 50%, recovery is barred entirely.
How fault gets apportioned in your case depends on the evidence, and it is one of the main things insurers fight about.
Nothing for the review. Attorneys in our network typically work on a contingency fee, meaning the fee comes out of a recovery and there is no attorney fee if there is no recovery. You may still owe case costs and expenses depending on the firm's agreement. Fee terms are set in a written agreement directly between you and the law firm — not with Injury Connect USA.
No. We are a paid attorney advertising and case-matching service. We are not a law firm, we are not a lawyer referral service approved or licensed by any state bar, we do not provide legal advice, and we do not evaluate the merits of any claim. Submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not preserve any legal deadline.
No. Participating firms decide independently whether to accept a matter, and many inquiries are declined. If your filing deadline is close, contact a licensed Texas attorney directly and immediately rather than waiting for a response to this form.
