• distracted driving due to the use of mobile devices such as smartphones;
• lack of proper truck maintenance, especially when trucking companies put profits over human lives;
• violations of the state’s traffic or safety regulations.
• overloading of trucks;
• failure to properly secure goods mounted on the truck; and
• inadequate driver training are also significant factors.

Truck accidents cause a wide range of injuries, most of which are usually serious and sometimes fatal. Here, we are talking about injuries such as:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Lacerations and cuts
• Burns
• Soft tissue injuries
• Amputations
• Neck and back injuries
• Psychological trauma, including PTSD
• Paralysis

Those who have been injured can file various claims, such as personal injury for medical expenses and suffering, wrongful death claims for fatal accidents, and product liability claims if vehicle defects contributed to the accident.

For truck accidents that occurred some time ago, you may still have a chance of recovering compensation for your injuries and losses. it all depends on how long ago the accident occurred. 

Texas has a deadline for filing a truck accident lawsuit, known as the statute of limitations. This deadline is usually two years from the accident date. 

The clock begins to count from the accident date. If you miss this deadline, you’ll automatically lose your right to sue. That’s why it’s always advisable to seek legal advice as soon as you’re medically able.
