Why Truck Accidents Are So Devastating in Dallas

Dallas is a hub for commercial trucking, with major routes like I-35E, I-20, Loop 12, and I-45 constantly packed with 18-wheelers, flatbeds, and delivery trucks. These vehicles are essential to commerce—but they can also become dangerous weapons when safety isn’t a priority.

From fatigued drivers rushing to meet deadlines to overloaded rigs barreling down the highway, the risks are everywhere. And when a truck crashes, the damage is often catastrophic. Victims may face lifelong injuries, job loss, and emotional trauma—not to mention battles with insurance adjusters more interested in protecting profits than helping people.

What to Do After a Truck Accident in Dallas

Call 911 and seek immediate medical attention — even if you feel “okay.” Some injuries, like internal bleeding or concussions, may not show up right away.
Document the scene — take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries if you’re able.
Don’t talk to the trucking company’s insurance adjuster — they may try to use your words against you.
Contact an experienced team at Trust Guss — the sooner we get involved, the faster we can protect your rights and gather critical evidence.

Our truck accident lawyers in Dallas will take it from there.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Dallas

Truck crashes happen for many reasons, including:

Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
Speeding or reckless driving to meet tight schedules
Distracted driving (texting, GPS use, etc.)

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Improper lane changes or failure to yield
Overloaded or unsecured cargo

Poor maintenance and equipment failure
Unsafe weather or road conditions

These aren’t just accidents—they’re often the result of careless or profit-driven decisions. We know how to investigate and hold everyone accountable.

Serious Injuries We See in Dallas Truck Accidents

Truck accidents tend to cause severe, life-changing injuries, including:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
Spinal cord damage and paralysis
Crushed or broken bones

Internal bleeding and organ damage
Burns, lacerations, and road rash

Emotional trauma and PTSD
Wrongful death

We work with medical experts to fully understand the impact of your injuries—today and in the future—so we can fight for every dollar you deserve.

Who Can Be Held Responsible in a Truck Accident Case?

Truck accident cases are complex. Multiple parties may be responsible, including:

The truck driver
The trucking company or employer

Cargo loading companies
Truck or parts manufacturers

Vehicle maintenance providers
Other drivers involved in the crash

We’ll dig deep to identify everyone who played a role and pursue claims against all liable parties.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

When we take your case, we go after the full amount you’re owed—so you can move forward without financial stress. Compensation may include:

Economic Damages

Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost income and reduced earning ability
Rehabilitation and home care
Vehicle repair or replacement

Non-Economic Damages

Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Loss of enjoyment of life

Punitive Damages

In cases of extreme negligence, we may also pursue punitive damages to punish wrongdoers and deter similar behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions

Local FAQs: Dallas Truck Accident Questions Answered

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

You generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a claim. But don’t wait—important evidence can disappear quickly.

What if I was partly at fault?

In Texas, you can still recover compensation if you’re less than 51% responsible. Your settlement will just be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Where do most Dallas truck accidents happen?

Some of the most dangerous areas include:

I-35E (Stemmons Freeway)
LBJ Freeway (I-635)
I-30 through downtown Dallas
Loop 12 and U.S. 75 (Central Expressway)

Do I need a lawyer if the trucking company’s insurance offers a settlement?

Yes. Those initial offers are often far too low. You should never sign or accept anything before talking to a lawyer.

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?

At Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, you pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee—meaning we only get paid if you do.
