Why Rad Law Firm is the best choice for Texas truck accident victims

When you search “Injured By A Truck In Texas?” you are looking for one thing: a law firm that can actually deliver results—not empty marketing.

Rad Law Firm is built for serious injury litigation. Truck accident claims require a firm that can:

• Move immediately to preserve critical trucking evidence

• Identify every liable party (not just the driver)

• Prove federal and Texas safety violations

• Calculate damages that reflect the real lifetime impact

• Negotiate from strength—and be ready to go to trial if needed

What makes truck cases different (and why that matters to your case)

After a commercial truck crash, the trucking company’s response is often immediate. Many carriers activate an internal “rapid response” process that can include investigators, adjusters, and defense counsel working to control what evidence exists and what narrative gets written.

Meanwhile, injured victims are trying to get medical care, handle bills, and figure out work. That imbalance is exactly why the right representation matters.

Rad Law Firm levels the playing field—fast.

If you were injured by a truck anywhere in Texas—especially Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Irving, Plano, Garland, Mesquite, Frisco, McKinney, Grand Prairie, or anywhere in DFW—call 972-661-1111 now for a FREE consultation.

The hard truth: trucking companies and insurers are not on your side

Truck accident injuries tend to be severe: traumatic brain injury, spinal injuries, herniated discs, fractures, internal organ damage, crushing injuries, burns, amputations, and permanent disability. Those injuries mean higher claim values—and higher stakes for the trucking company and insurer.

So what happens? They fight.

Common tactics include:

• Blaming you (even when you did nothing wrong)

• Claiming your injuries are “pre-existing”

• Pushing you to give a recorded statement

• Pressuring you into a quick, low settlement

• Delaying while bills pile up

• Disputing medical treatment as “unnecessary”

• Hiding behind multiple entities to confuse liability

Do not negotiate alone. Do not sign anything. Do not assume the insurer will be fair.

Call Rad Law Firm at 972-661-1111. The earlier we get involved, the more control we can take back—and the more money you can recover.

What to do immediately after a truck accident in Texas

If you are reading this after a crash, focus on two priorities: health and evidence.

1) Get medical attention immediately

Even if you feel “okay,” adrenaline can mask serious injuries. Truck crashes can cause internal bleeding, head trauma, and spinal injuries that worsen over time.

2) Call police and make sure a report is created

Texas crash reports are key evidence. Be factual. Do not guess. Do not accept blame.

3) Take photos and video (if you can do so safely)

Capture:

• The truck’s DOT numbers and company markings

• License plates on truck and trailer

• Damage to all vehicles

• Skid marks, debris, road conditions

• Traffic signals, lane markings, construction signs

• Visible injuries

4) Get witness information

Names, phone numbers, emails. Independent witnesses can break an insurance company’s case.

5) Do not give the trucking insurer a recorded statement

They are building a defense case from day one.

6) Call Rad Law Firm immediately

Truck cases are evidence-heavy and time-sensitive. We can take steps to preserve data that may disappear.

Where truck accidents happen most in Texas and DFW

Texas has some of the busiest trucking corridors in the country. In DFW, commercial traffic is constant. Common high-risk roads include:

• I-35E / I-35W

• I-20

• I-30

• I-45

• I-635 (LBJ Freeway)

• President George Bush Turnpike

• Dallas North Tollway

• Loop 12 / Spur 408

• US-75 (Central Expressway)

• State Highway 121 / 114

Congested merges, aggressive lane changes, construction zones, and long-haul fatigue all combine to create catastrophic crashes.

If your crash happened on any of these corridors—or anywhere else in Texas—Rad Law Firm is ready. Call 972-661-1111.

Who can be liable for a truck accident in Texas?

One of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming the truck driver is the only at-fault party. In many Texas truck cases, the driver is only one link in a chain of negligence.

Potentially liable parties include:

Truck driver

• Speeding, distraction, tailgating

• Fatigue / hours-of-service violations

• Impairment (alcohol, drugs, certain medications)

Trucking company (motor carrier)

• Negligent hiring or retention

• Unsafe scheduling pushing drivers past limits

• Failure to supervise or train

• Maintenance failures

Owner of tractor or trailer (can be separate companies)

Many rigs have separate ownership structures that complicate liability—but also create additional insurance coverage.

Maintenance and repair companies

Brake failures, tire blowouts, steering issues, and coupling failures often trace back to negligent inspection or repair.

Freight loader / shipper

Improper loading can cause jackknifes, rollovers, and lost cargo incidents.

Broker / logistics company

In some cases, negligent selection of unsafe carriers may be in play.

Manufacturer of defective parts

Defective brakes, tires, underride guards, steering components, or other failures can create product liability claims.

Rad Law Firm investigates the full chain of responsibility to maximize recovery—because your case value often depends on identifying every liable party and every available policy.

The evidence that wins truck accident cases

To win big in a truck crash claim, you need evidence the trucking company does not want you to have.

Key evidence includes:

Electronic logging device (ELD) data and hours-of-service records

These can prove fatigue and illegal driving schedules.

“Black box” / ECM data

This may show speed, braking, throttle input, and other pre-crash metrics.

Dash cam footage / surveillance

Sometimes the truck has video. Sometimes nearby businesses or highway cameras captured the crash.

Driver qualification file

A driver’s history, training, medical certifications, and disciplinary records.

Maintenance and inspection records

Trucks must meet safety standards. Records can reveal repeated mechanical issues.

Bills of lading and cargo loading documents

Improper loading or overweight hauling can be critical.

Drug/alcohol testing results after the crash

Post-crash testing may be required in certain circumstances.

Cell phone records

Distraction is a common factor.

This evidence is time-sensitive. Data can be overwritten. Records can “disappear.” The sooner you hire counsel, the stronger your position.

Call 972-661-1111 right now. We can act quickly to preserve evidence and protect your claim.

Common causes of Texas truck accidents

Truck crashes rarely happen because of “bad luck.” They happen because someone cut safety corners.

Common causes include:

• Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations

• Distracted driving (phones, GPS, tablets)

• Speeding and aggressive driving

• Unsafe lane changes and wide turns

• Tailgating and failure to brake in time

• Poor maintenance (brakes, tires, lights)

• Overloaded or improperly secured cargo

• Driving under the influence

• Inadequate training or supervision

• Dangerous pressure from dispatch or management

• Construction zone negligence or poor signage

Rad Law Firm builds cases around provable facts—records, data, and expert testimony—not opinions.

Truck accident injuries: what your claim may really be worth

Truck accident claims are often high value because injuries are severe and recovery can take months—or never fully occur.

Your case value depends on:

• The severity and permanence of your injuries

• Whether you need surgery, injections, physical therapy, or long-term care

• Lost income and reduced future earning capacity

• Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and trauma

• Disability, disfigurement, or scarring

• Property damage and out-of-pocket expenses

• Whether you share any percentage of fault (Texas proportionate responsibility)

• The amount of insurance coverage available and number of liable parties

Types of compensation in Texas truck accident cases

You may be eligible to recover:

Economic damages

• Medical bills (past and future)

• Rehabilitation and therapy

• Medications and equipment

• Lost wages and future income loss

• Home modifications and attendant care

• Transportation and out-of-pocket costs

Non-economic damages

• Pain and suffering

• Mental anguish

• Physical impairment

• Disfigurement

• Loss of enjoyment of life

Wrongful death damages (when a family loses a loved one)

• Funeral and burial expenses

• Loss of financial support

• Loss of companionship and guidance

• Mental anguish for surviving family members

Texas fault rules: will I still get paid if I’m partly at fault?

Texas uses a form of comparative fault (often called “proportionate responsibility”). In practical terms:

• If you are more than 50% at fault, you typically cannot recover damages.

• If you are 50% or less at fault, your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Insurance companies love to weaponize this rule. They will try to assign you blame for speed, lane position, following distance, or “not reacting fast enough.”

Rad Law Firm counters that with evidence—vehicle data, scene evidence, expert analysis, and a clear liability narrative.

---

How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in Texas?

Texas has strict deadlines for injury claims. Waiting can destroy evidence and weaken leverage long before any legal deadline hits.

Even if you think you have time, you do not have time in a trucking case.

Call 972-661-1111 now. The sooner you act, the more we can protect and maximize your claim.

Why you should not wait to call a Texas truck accident lawyer

Waiting does real damage to your case—period.

Here’s what delay costs you:

• Lost black box and ELD data

• Missing surveillance footage (often overwritten quickly)

• Witnesses who disappear or forget details

• Insurers gaining the first narrative advantage

• Gaps in medical treatment used against you

• Lowball settlement pressure when bills stack up

Rad Law Firm’s approach is simple: move fast, build strong, and demand full value.

Frequently asked questions: Injured by a truck in Texas

These are the questions truck accident victims across Texas ask most—along with direct answers designed to help you take the right next step.

How much is my Texas truck accident claim worth?

It depends on injury severity, medical needs, lost income, and available coverage. Truck cases often involve larger policies and multiple defendants, which can increase recovery. The fastest way to get a realistic estimate is a claim review.

Call 972-661-1111 for a FREE consultation.

Should I talk to the trucking company’s insurance adjuster?

Not without legal representation. Anything you say can be used to reduce your claim.

What if the truck driver says it was my fault?

That is common. Fault is proven through evidence—data, reports, witnesses, and reconstruction—not opinions.

What if it was a company truck or delivery truck?

Then the company may be liable, not just the driver. Many delivery and work-truck cases involve layered insurance and corporate policies.

Do I have to go to court?

Many cases settle, but trucking companies often fight hard. Your leverage increases when your lawyer prepares every case as if it will be tried.

What if I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt?

Insurance will use that against you. It does not automatically eliminate your claim, but it can become a dispute point. Speak with counsel immediately.
