The first week after a truck accident sets the tone for the entire case:

Hank Stout of Sutliff & Stout urges anyone hurt by a commercial truck in Houston to call a lawyer who handles trucking cases right away, because carriers already have their own experts working the scene while an injured family is still absorbing what happened.

There is not just one deadline after a truck accident, there are two:

Hank Stout of Sutliff & Stout explains that reporting a claim to your own insurer is a contractual obligation, but the real hard stop is Texas's statute of limitations on the lawsuit itself, and confusing the two can cost a Houston family its case.

A trucking company can use slow negotiations against you:

Hank Stout of Sutliff & Stout warns Houston truck accident victims that a carrier willing to talk endlessly without settling may simply be waiting for the filing deadline to pass, which is why he often recommends filing suit early rather than negotiating alone.

A crash with a government owned truck comes with its own hidden deadline:

Hank Stout of Sutliff & Stout explains that sovereign immunity can shield agencies like Metro or the postal service unless proper notice is given within a short window, a rule that catches many Houston families off guard after a government vehicle crash.

A wrongful death claim after a fatal truck crash follows the same Texas clock:

Hank Stout of Sutliff & Stout explains that Texas's two year statute of limitations applies to wrongful death claims from a truck accident just as it does to injury claims, so Houston families should not assume grief buys them extra time to file.

Texas's two year deadline has only a few narrow exceptions:

Hank Stout of Sutliff & Stout explains that minors and people who genuinely lacked legal capacity may get limited extensions, but a Houston truck accident victim generally cannot extend the deadline just because an injury turned out worse than first expected.

Missing Texas's filing deadline can end a truck accident claim overnight:

Hank Stout of Sutliff & Stout says he hears from Houston families who trusted an insurance company's promise to work things out, only to be told after the two year deadline passed that the claim is now time barred and will not be paid.

The two year filing clock does not start at trial:

Hank Stout of Sutliff & Stout explains that Texas's statute of limitations begins running the moment the crash happens, not when a case eventually goes to court, so Houston truck accident victims should not assume they have more time than they actually do.

Texas gives you two years to file a truck accident lawsuit, and that clock does not wait:

Hank Stout of Sutliff & Stout warns Houston families that missing the two year filing deadline can end a claim outright, and that evidence like dash cam footage and phone records can disappear long before that deadline ever arrives.

One number can decide whether a Houston truck accident victim recovers anything at all:

Hank Stout of Sutliff & Stout explains that under Texas's comparative fault rule, a trucking company found more than 51 percent at fault is responsible for the full judgment, which is why carriers increasingly try to shift blame onto the road, the weather, or even a government agency.
