The NMW Law Firm

About This Firm

The Plano truck accident lawyers at NMW Law Firm help people hit by 18-wheelers, delivery trucks, and other commercial vehicles on the Dallas North Tollway, US-75, and the roads around Collin County. A crash with a commercial truck is not the same as a regular car wreck, and the legal rules that apply are not the same either. Federal trucking regulations, multiple insurance policies, and a roster of possibly responsible parties make these cases more complex from day one. Our team builds the file the way commercial trucking cases require, then pushes the trucking company and its insurer toward fair compensation. Liability in a Plano commercial truck accident may rest with more than just the driver, because federal and state law allow injured people to pursue the motor carrier, the broker, the shipper, and other parties whose actions contributed to the crash. The evidence that matters most in a Plano truck accident lawsuit includes the truck's electronic logging device data, the driver's qualification file, dispatch records, and the trucking company's maintenance history. Much of this evidence sits in the trucking company's own files, and it does not stay there forever. Damages available after a truck accident in Plano cover both your financial losses and the personal toll of the crash. Texas law allows injured people to seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses tied to the crash. You have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas, under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003. Wrongful death claims in Texas also generally follow a two-year limit, measured from the date of death rather than the date of the crash. A loaded 18-wheeler weighs more than twenty times what a passenger car weighs. The trucking company on the other side of your claim knows that, and they know exactly how to push back on injured people who do not have legal help. NMW Law Firm levels the file, not the legal field. Our Plano truck accident lawyers work commercial trucking cases across Collin County and the wider DFW area on a contingency basis, with no fee unless we recover money for you. We move on the evidence early, build the case under federal trucking rules, and pursue every party who may share responsibility.
