Over $400 Million Recovered. No Fees Unless We Win.
Denton sits at the crossroads of major Texas highways, with Interstate 35 and surrounding freight corridors carrying a constant flow of commercial truck traffic.
Truck crashes in Denton have included collisions between two semi-trucks along Interstate 35 near Oak Street that sent a driver to the hospital in critical condition and forced extended road closures. Elsewhere in the county, severe storms have overturned tractor-trailers along Interstate 35E, while other incidents have involved vehicle fires and catastrophic damage that left drivers hospitalized.
If you or someone you love was injured in a truck accident, a Denton truck accident lawyer at Zinda Law Group can help you understand your legal options and pursue the compensation needed to move forward.

CASE RESULTS
How Our Process Works
1. Complimentary Case Review
We will discuss what happened, learn how the accident has affected you, and explain your legal options. There is no cost and no obligation.
2. Gathering Evidence
Our team collects the evidence necessary to build a strong case: police reports, trucking company records, driver logs, black box data, medical documentation, witness statements, and expert analysis when needed.
3. Submitting Your Claim
We prepare and submit your claim to the responsible parties and their insurers, managing all paperwork and deadlines on your behalf.
4. Settlement Negotiations
The majority of truck accident cases reach resolution without going to court. We handle every interaction with insurance companies and fight for compensation that truly reflects your losses.
5. Trial Preparation (When Required)
When an insurance company refuses to offer a reasonable settlement, we are fully prepared to bring your case before a jury.
Potentially Liable Parties in a Truck Crash
Truck accident cases differ from typical car crashes because multiple parties may share liability. Depending on the specific circumstances of your collision, responsibility could fall on:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company or motor carrier
- The company that loaded or shipped the cargo
- A third-party maintenance or repair provider
- The manufacturer of the truck or its components
Our legal team investigates every potential angle, examining driver logs, electronic data recorder information, maintenance records, and compliance with federal safety standards to identify all responsible parties.
Damages You May Be Entitled To
The value of your truck accident claim depends on the specific facts of your case. You may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical Bills and Treatment Costs
Emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgeries, prescription medications, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and assistive devices. We pursue compensation for both current treatment and anticipated future medical needs.
Wages and Earning Capacity
Wages lost during your recovery, missed bonuses or promotions, and diminished earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous occupation or working at the same level.
Vehicle and Property Losses
Repair or replacement costs for your vehicle and any other personal property damaged in the collision.
Physical and Emotional Harm
Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and the overall impact the accident has had on your quality of life.
Punitive Awards
In cases involving particularly reckless or intentional misconduct, the court may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior.
Wrongful Death Claims
If you lost a loved one in a truck accident, we can help your family pursue damages for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and other related losses.
The Importance of Taking Prompt Action
If you believe you have a truck accident claim, taking prompt action is essential for several reasons:
Texas Filing Deadlines
Under Texas law, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline can permanently bar you from recovering compensation. A qualified attorney can evaluate your case and confirm the specific deadline that applies to your situation.
Evidence Preservation Concerns
Evidence that proves your case can disappear quickly. Trucking companies may repair or dispose of damaged vehicles. Electronic logging data can be overwritten. Witnesses relocate, memories fade, and physical evidence at the accident scene is cleaned up. An attorney can take immediate steps to preserve this crucial information.
Insurer Defense Strategies
Most truck accident claims involve negotiations with insurance companies that have significant financial incentives to minimize payouts. These insurers often dispatch investigators to the accident scene within hours, gathering evidence to support their defense. Delaying legal representation gives them more time to build a case against you.
The sooner you have experienced legal counsel in your corner, the better positioned you are to protect your rights and maximize your recovery.

FAQs
How can I tell if I have a valid truck accident claim?
To pursue a truck accident claim, we typically need to establish that someone owed you a duty of care, they failed to meet that duty, their failure caused your injuries, and you suffered damages as a result. During your free consultation, we will review your circumstances and let you know whether you have a viable case.
Why are trucking cases more complicated than regular auto accidents?
Truck accident cases are typically more complex because they often involve federal regulations, multiple potentially liable parties, and insurance policies with much higher coverage limits. The severity of injuries also tends to be greater due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles.
Can you help if a family member was killed in a truck crash?
We handle wrongful death cases with sensitivity and compassion. While nothing can replace your loved one, we can help your family seek justice and hold the responsible party accountable. We manage the legal process so you can focus on your family during this difficult time.
What are your fees for truck accident representation?
You pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only collect a fee if we recover compensation for you. There is no financial risk on your part.
What is the typical timeline for resolving a truck accident case?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your case. Factors like the severity of your injuries, the number of parties involved, and whether the case goes to trial all affect duration. We will provide you with a realistic timeline based on the specifics of your situation.
Do most truck accident cases end up in court?
Most truck accident cases settle through negotiation without going to court. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to take your case to trial and present it before a jury.
What steps should I take immediately after a truck collision?
Seek medical attention for your injuries immediately, even if they seem minor at first. Report the accident to the police. Document everything you can, including photographs of the scene, your vehicle, your injuries, and contact information for any witnesses. Then contact us to discuss your legal options.
How does Texas handle shared fault in accident cases?
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found to be more than 50% responsible for the accident, you cannot recover compensation. If you share some fault but less than 51%, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. We can help you understand how this may affect your specific case.
