What Are Some Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Dallas?
Most of these accidents occur due to driver fatigue, often due to long hours on the road without proper rest. Distracted driving, such as using a phone while driving, also greatly contributes to such accidents. Other common causes include:
- Poor truck maintenance;
- Mechanical failures like brake issues or tire blowouts;
- Bad road conditions;
- Speeding; and
- Bad weather.
-
What Are the Elements of a Valid Truck Accident Case in Dallas?
A valid truck accident case in Dallas must satisfy four key elements.
First, there must be a duty of care. This means that the truck driver or company had a responsibility to operate safely.
Second, a breach of this duty needs to be established, such as through negligent or reckless driving.
Third, you must demonstrate causation, which involves linking the breach of duty directly to the accident.
Lastly, you must also prove the presence of damages, such as physical injuries, property damage, and emotional suffering.
These four elements form the basis for filing a truck accident claim or lawsuit. An experienced Dallas truck accident lawyer from our team can help ensure your case meets these requirements before taking legal action against the other party.

I Lost a Loved One in the Truck Accident? What Damages Can I Recover?
To begin with, if the accident happened because of the other party's wrongful actions, say driving while intoxicated, you'll need to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Recoverable damages for such a case can include but are not limited to:
- medical expenses incurred before the death;
- funeral and burial costs;
- loss of the deceased's future income;
- loss of companionship and support; and
- emotional distress of the surviving family members.
That said, please note that each case is unique, so it's important to discuss with an attorney to understand the full extent of damages you may be entitled to.
-
Are There Any Deadlines I Need To Know About?
Yes, there are, starting with the statute of limitations. In Texas, the general statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death cases is two years from the date of the accident or death. Missing this deadline can prevent you from filing a lawsuit, and it won't matter if you have a valid case against the other party.
