Truck accident claims are rarely straightforward. Unlike standard car accidents, these cases often involve multiple parties, each with its own legal and insurance representation.
Responsible parties may include:
Sorting through liability can be overwhelming without legal guidance. Our attorneys investigate every detail of your case to identify who is responsible and build a strong claim on your behalf.
During your consultation, we’ll walk you through your options and explain how we can help protect your rights.
Commercial truck accidents can happen for many reasons, but most are preventable. Some of the most common causes include:
Speeding, failing to yield, and ignoring traffic signals can quickly lead to serious collisions.
Rain and reduced visibility can make it harder for large trucks to stop or maneuver safely.
Long hours on the road can impair a driver’s reaction time, even when regulations are in place.
Using a phone, adjusting navigation, or other distractions can have catastrophic consequences.
Brake failures, tire blowouts, and steering problems often result from poor maintenance.
Unbalanced or unsecured loads can shift during transit, increasing the risk of losing control.
A serious truck accident can impact every part of your life. We work to recover both financial losses and the personal impact of your injuries.
Emotional Trauma - Serious accidents can lead to anxiety, PTSD, and other lasting psychological effects.
To recover compensation, it’s necessary to show that another party’s negligence caused the accident. In truck accident cases, identifying negligence often requires a detailed investigation.
We examine all possible sources of fault, including:
Vehicle Maintenance Companies that fail to properly service critical vehicle components
A former U.S. Marine and district prosecutor, Kenneth brings extensive trial experience and a disciplined approach to every case he handles.
With a background defending insurance companies, John understands their strategies and uses that insight to advocate for injured clients.
Annie’s experience as a prosecutor allows her to handle complex cases with both precision and compassion.
Morgan provides thoughtful legal guidance, helping clients navigate challenging cases with clarity and confidence.
Settlement amounts vary based on the severity of your injuries, the extent of your losses, and who is at fault. Our goal is to pursue the highest possible recovery for your situation.
Across the U.S., commercial truck accident settlements average around $73,000, but the amount of the settlements varies significantly depending on the circumstances and injuries involved.
Every case is different, but many claims are resolved within 6 to 18 months. If a lawsuit goes to trial, the process can take longer. We’ll help you decide if going to trial is the best path forward.
Most personal injury settlements are not taxed. However, portions related to lost wages or punitive damages may be subject to taxation.
In Texas, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation.
Your truck accident lawyer will represent your case during trial, settlements, and when negotiating with insurance companies.

Truck accident cases can be complex, especially when multiple parties are involved. The best way to evaluate your case is to schedule a free consultation with a truck accident lawyer and review the details with them.
Most truck accident claims are settled out of court. However, if a fair settlement isn’t offered, your attorney may recommend taking the case to trial. The final decision is always yours.
You won’t pay anything up front. Personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. If there’s no recovery, there’s no fee.
Recovering after a truck accident can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to handle it alone. The right legal support can make a meaningful difference in your recovery and financial future.
At Biggs & Greenslade, we are committed to helping Mesquite truck accident victims move forward with confidence. We handle the legal process so you can focus on healing.
