Why Truck Accidents are Different
THE CHALLENGE
Commercial truck accidents are more complex than typical car crashes. They often involve multiple parties, federal regulations, and extensive evidence. At Lyman Law, we understand these factors and know how to investigate, preserve evidence, and build a strong case.
Complex Regulations
Trucking companies must follow federal and state rules, which are changing all the time. We stay up to date and know what to look for.
Critical Evidence
Key evidence can be lost quickly. We act fast to make sure it’s preserved.
Multiple Parties
Drivers, companies, maintenance providers, and other may all share liability. We help untangle the mess
Higher Stakes
Truck accidents can cause catastrophic injuries. We fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

-
It costs you nothing up front. Lyman Law handles Texas personal injury cases on a contingency basis, meaning our fee is a percentage of what we recover on your behalf. We don’t get paid until you get paid. Learn more about contingency fees here.
-
Just because you were partially at fault doesn’t mean you don’t have a case. In a Texas personal injury case, if you bear 50% of the responsibility or less for an accident , you can still recover something. Learn more about partial fault here.
-
With very few exceptions, a personal injury case in Texas must be brought within two years of the date of the accident. After two years, you cannot bring a case or claim against the at fault driver or their insurance company. This time limit is called the statute of limitations. Learn more about the statute of limitations here.
-
Most cases settle before anyone has to go to court. However, if your case does end up in court, Michael Lyman will work closely with you personally to ensure you feel prepared and confident for your appearance. You can learn more about the steps of a Texas personal injury case here.
