What the Law Says

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.002 allows the surviving spouse, children and parents of a person killed by another’s wrongful act, neglect or carelessness to bring a wrongful death action — and when a commercial truck is involved, that claim often reaches the company that owned or operated it.

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001, an injured person can recover only if they are found 51 percent or less responsible for the crash, and any award is reduced by their share of fault. That rule makes an early, independent investigation of a multi-vehicle truck crash especially important.

This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.
