If you were hit by a commercial truck, you are likely dealing with more than one problem at once, including medical bills, insurance calls, and missing work hours. The process of filing a Houston truck accident claim can feel confusing and rushed, especially if several companies are involved. Our personal injury lawyers at Mostyn Law can step in to organize the facts, preserve key records, and keep the case moving.
A private law firm also brings focus. We can investigate quickly, gather driver logs, and deal with insurers so you do not have to. Our job is to guide you through a process that can seem designed to wear people down. While no attorney can guarantee a result, the right one can give you structure, clarity, and time to recover while they handle your claim the right way.
Filing a claim for a Houston truck accident is rarely simple. Responsibility can rest on more than one party—the driver, the carrier, a maintenance contractor, or even a shipping company that loaded the trailer. Each of them has its own insurer, policy limits, and defense team. Our truck accident attorneys know how to investigate a case and uncover where liability truly lies. We can send legal notices to prevent evidence from being altered and track down all available insurance to make sure nothing is missed.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations also play a significant role. Hours-of-service, maintenance, and drug-testing rules exist for a reason. Violations of these standards can support a negligence claim. Evidence such as black-box data, electronic logs, and repair records often needs to be secured within days before it disappears. Our lawyers can issue letters demanding preservation of this material and follow up if our requests are ignored.
People considering filing a claim often want to know what to do immediately after an accident. Here are some steps that can protect your rights and strengthen your case:
After these steps, an attorney from Mostyn Law can evaluate fault, damages, and possible recovery sources. We can also work with experts in accident reconstruction or trucking safety to explain what went wrong. When you file a Houston truck crash claim, that kind of technical insight can make a difference.
The state has its own rules for personal injury cases. The timeline to bring a claim, also known as the statute of limitations, is generally two years under Section 16.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Claims involving government vehicles or contractors require formal notice under the Texas Tort Claims Act, and those deadlines can arrive sooner. Texas also follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning anyone found more than 50 percent responsible cannot recover damages.
If you are unsure where to start after being injured in a commercial vehicle wreck, consulting with a lawyer from our firm can help clarify the process. Our experienced team can review what happened, explain how state law applies, and outline what to expect next. The focus is not on quick promises but on steady, informed action.
Our attorneys can gather the necessary records, deal with insurers, and help you take meaningful steps forward. If you are ready to learn more about filing a Houston truck accident claim, reach out to us today to discuss your options and get professional guidance tailored to your situation.
