Fort Worth Wide-Turn Truck Accident Lawyers

Right-turn accidents involving 18-wheelers are particularly dangerous for cyclists, motorcyclists, and drivers traveling alongside the truck in the right lane. A trucker who swings left before turning right — the 'wide right turn' — without properly checking the right lane can trap and crush smaller vehicles between the truck and the curb. Federal regulations and Texas law require commercial drivers to execute turns safely. When a trucker fails to clear the right lane before swinging wide, the carrier is vicariously liable for all resulting injuries. We document wide-turn crashes with intersection camera footage and trucking industry standard-of-care expert testimony.

Damages You Can Recover

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering and mental anguish
  • Physical impairment and disfigurement
  • Property damage

Statute of Limitations (§16.003): Two years from the date of injury. Comparative Fault (§33.001): Recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. No fee unless we win.

How soon should I contact a lawyer after my accident?
Immediately. Evidence — especially black-box data and driver logs in truck cases — can be overwritten or destroyed within days. Early legal involvement is critical.
Should I talk to the insurance company without a lawyer?
No. Trucking company insurers deploy rapid-response teams and claims adjusters immediately after serious crashes. You need legal representation before making any statement.
