Here's what's happening to you right now
You're reading this from a hospital bed, a couch, or maybe from the side of a Texas road. The trucking company's insurance adjuster has probably already called you — sometimes within ninety minutes of the wreck. That call is not what it sounds like.
You're worried about things you haven't said out loud. Medical bills. Lost work. Whether you might have done something wrong. All of that is normal. What determines whether your case is real is a specific set of Texas legal rules that the trucking company's attorneys know better than you do.

The Texas Truck Accident Victim's Bill of Rights — 18-page PDF written by Texas-licensed attorneys. Every right you have under Texas law after a commercial vehicle accident. Free. Instant. Email only.
Why we offer this: because most accident victims don't read it until after they've already said something to the adjuster they can't unsay.
The Texas legal framework — in plain English
- Statute of limitations: 2 years. Texas CPRC §16.003(a). Same for wrongful death from date of death.
- Modified comparative negligence, 51% bar. Recover damages reduced by your fault percentage if 50% or less. Texas CPRC §33.001.
- No general damage cap on MVA. Compensatory damages uncapped. Punitive capped under Texas CPRC §41.008.
- Four federal court districts. Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western — venue depends on county of accident.
Why now matters — three real clocks
The statute of limitations is the most-discussed clock, but it is actually the slowest one. Two faster clocks usually decide cases:
- The adjuster timing window (24–72 hours). Adjusters are assigned within 90 minutes of the accident. The longer you wait to learn what you can and cannot say to them, the more locked-in your case becomes.
- The evidence preservation window (30 days). Most truck stop surveillance is overwritten in 14–30 days. ELD records can be modified or "lost." Skid marks fade. Witnesses move. A spoliation letter in week 1 versus week 4 produces dramatically different evidence outcomes.
- The medical documentation window (immediate). Gaps in treatment in the first 30 days are the single largest reason adjusters discount claims. Continuous documented treatment changes case value.
