I-35W and Commercial Trucking

I-35W is one of the busiest commercial trucking corridors in Texas. 18-wheeler crashes here are common and often catastrophic.

Alliance Corridor Crashes

The Alliance logistics hub generates enormous truck and warehouse worker traffic. Crashes on Highway 287 and surrounding roads are frequent.

Loop 820 and the West Side

Loop 820 is one of Fort Worth's busiest and most crash-prone roadways. Merging conflicts and high speeds produce serious injury cases.

Oil & Gas Vehicle Crashes

Service trucks, water trucks, and oilfield-related vehicles operate at high volumes in Tarrant County.

The metro is home to major freight operations including BNSF Railway headquarters, major trucking companies, and distribution centers serving DFW's enormous consumer base. Truck crashes in Fort Worth often involve major commercial policies and federal regulations — cases that require attorneys who understand FMCSA rules and trucking industry practices.

Frequently Asked — Fort Worth, Texas

Fort Worth injury questions, answered.

Fort Worth + Tarrant County injury law — straightforward. Each answer is based on real cases we've handled — and links to deeper resources on this site.

What courts handle injury cases in Tarrant County? +

Personal injury cases in Tarrant County are filed in the Tarrant County Civil District Courts, located at the Tom Vandergriff Civil Courts Building (100 N. Calhoun St., Fort Worth, TX 76196). Federal cases go to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division. Cases against the City of Fort Worth, Trinity Metro, or Tarrant County require specific notice procedures. More on our Fort Worth practice →

What should I do after a crash on I-30, I-820, or I-35W in Fort Worth? +

Fort Worth's major freeways — I-30, I-820 (Loop), I-35W, and the Chisholm Trail Parkway — see substantial commercial truck traffic and frequent severe crashes. After a freeway crash: call 911, do not move vehicles if there are injuries, photograph the scene comprehensively, get medical attention the same day, and decline to give statements to other drivers' insurers. If commercial trucks were involved, the case becomes substantially more valuable. Truck accident practice →

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Fort Worth? +

Two years from the date of injury — Texas's standard statute of limitations. Government-related claims (Trinity Metro, City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County) require notice within 6 months. Don't wait — evidence disappears and insurance companies start building defenses immediately. Free case review →

Can I sue after a crash at North Texas trucking yards or distribution centers? +

Yes — and these cases are increasingly common. The Fort Worth/Alliance area has become a massive logistics and distribution hub, with Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and dozens of other carriers operating facilities. Crashes near these facilities frequently involve commercial vehicles with significant insurance coverage. If you were hit by a delivery truck, 18-wheeler, or commercial van, the case is typically much more valuable than a standard auto case. More on commercial vehicle cases →

What if I was hit while at TCU, downtown Fort Worth, or the Stockyards? +

Each of these areas has different traffic patterns and venue considerations. TCU area cases may involve student rideshare drivers; downtown cases frequently involve delivery and commercial vehicles; Stockyards-area cases sometimes involve tourists with out-of-state insurance. The basic legal process is the same, but venue and evidence preservation matter. Free consultation →

How much is a Fort Worth injury case worth? +

Tarrant County juries are generally considered moderate — verdicts vary widely based on case facts, injuries, and liability strength. Minor cases settle in the thousands; surgical injuries reach six figures; catastrophic cases can settle in the millions. The biggest value driver is usually the available insurance coverage — which is why we identify every possible defendant and policy. Get an honest range during your free consultation →

Can I still sue if I was partially at fault? +

Yes — Texas allows recovery as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Insurance companies routinely try to push fault percentages over 50% to defeat valid claims. We push back with evidence: scene reconstruction, traffic data, witness statements, and (when available) surveillance footage. More on Texas comparative fault →
