Do I have to contact a trucking accident attorney immediately after an accident, or can I wait until I recover?

The wisest course of action is to immediately, or as soon as possible, contact a trucking accident attorney and get your case started. Most lawyers offer a free consultation, so there is nothing to lose by contacting them right away.

If you wait too long you run the risk of losing not just valuable evidence from the accident, but the right to sue. The statute of limitations in Texas for a personal injury claim is two years.
