Bars show usual time frames under Texas and federal rules, not the facts of your case. This is general information, not legal advice. Using this tool does not create an attorney client relationship.

What to Do This Week

  • Do not give the truck company's insurer a recorded statement.
  • Keep your car as it is, or ask us before it is fixed or junked.
  • Photograph your injuries every few days.
  • Write down every name, unit number and phone number you have.

What a Spoliation Letter Does

It is a formal letter to the trucking company and its insurer that says a claim is coming and they must keep every piece of proof. That means the black box, logs, video, the truck itself and the driver's file. If they destroy proof after that letter, a court can hold it against them.

We send it within a day or two of your call.

What we handle

Truck Crashes We Take

Big trucks crash in their own ways. Each one points to a different kind of proof, and a different company that may share the blame.

  • Jackknife and Rollover

    Often tied to speed on wet pavement, bad brakes or a load that shifted. The black box and the brake records tell the story.

  • Rear End and Underride

    A fully loaded truck needs far more room to stop. We check following distance, speed and the rear guard.

  • Tired Driver

    Federal hours rules limit how long a driver can be behind the wheel. The logs, fuel receipts and phone records show if those limits were broken.

  • Refinery and Plant Traffic

    Tankers and flatbeds run hard around Port Arthur and Nederland. Loading and hazmat rules add more people who may be at fault.

  • Wrongful Death

    When a crash takes someone you love, we handle the claim so your family can focus on each other.

They had a letter out to the trucking company two days after I called. Later we learned the video would have been gone in a week.

Darnell W. Port Arthur

Mr. Kemp drove out to Vidor to meet me because I could not drive yet. He answered every question in plain English.

Rosa M. Vidor

I drive a truck myself. They knew the hours rules better than the other side did, and they kept me posted every step.

Questions Families Ask Us

Still not sure? Call and ask. It costs nothing to talk.

Call (409) 555-0118
Why does it matter so much to call fast after a truck crash?

Because the proof lives with the truck company. The black box can be written over as the truck keeps working, dash cam video often loops, and federal rules only make carriers keep driver logs for about six months. A letter from a lawyer tells them to keep all of it.

How long do I have to file a truck crash case in Texas?

Most injury and wrongful death claims in Texas must be filed within 2 years. Claims against a city, county or the state can need written notice much sooner, sometimes within months. Call and we will check your dates.

The trucking company's insurer called me. Should I talk to them?

You can be polite and say you will call back. Do not give a recorded statement or sign anything until you talk to a lawyer. Their job is to pay as little as they can.

What does it cost to talk to you?

Nothing. The first talk is free. If we take your case, we are paid a share of what we recover, and you pay no fee if there is no recovery. We explain the exact terms in writing before you sign.

My husband died in a crash with an 18 wheeler. Can our family bring a claim?

In Texas, a spouse, children and parents can bring a wrongful death claim. The deadline is usually 2 years from the date of death. We are sorry for your loss, and we can talk whenever you are ready.
