If you were hurt in a truck accident in Laredo or anywhere in Webb County, you don’t have to take on a trucking company and its insurer alone. Attorney Patrick Toscano has spent more than 23 years fighting for injured Texans — and when you call, you speak directly with Patrick, not a call center or a case manager.

Laredo is the busiest U.S.–Mexico inland trade port, and that makes 18-wheeler traffic extreme. With I-35, U.S. 59, U.S. 83, Loop 20, and the World Trade Bridge funneling cross-border freight through the city every day, collisions involving fully loaded semis are an everyday danger — and the injuries they cause are often catastrophic.

Texas Truck Accident Law: What to Know

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Texas also follows a modified comparative negligence rule: you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your share of responsibility. Truck cases also fall under federal trucking regulations (FMCSA), and multiple parties may be liable — the driver, the trucking company, and even a maintenance provider. Identifying every responsible party early is critical to recovering the full value of your claim.

How much does a Laredo truck accident lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. The firm works on a contingency fee — you only pay if we recover money for you.

How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Texas?

Generally two years from the date of the crash, but it’s best to act quickly so the truck’s logs, data, and other evidence are preserved before they disappear.

What should I do after a truck accident in Laredo?

Seek medical attention, document the scene and the truck’s markings if you can, avoid giving a recorded statement to the trucking company’s insurer, and call a lawyer before accepting any settlement.
