Truck accidents can be devastating to your health, your ability to work, and your bank account.
While insurance companies may offer you a settlement, chances are that it is nowhere near enough to make up for what you’ve gone through.
You need a legal team who won’t settle for anything less than a fair number, and who can advocate for your needs. At Armstrong, Lee & Baker, we’re proud to serve residents of Fort Worth and beyond, who have been in a truck accident.
Contact us today for a free consultation.
When embarking on your legal journey after a truck accident, it’s only natural that you are curious about the money aspect of your legal case. After all, damages are designed to help relieve the burden of unplanned costs that come with an accident.
Unfortunately, it’s also the hardest part of a case to predict, without detailed knowledge of your individual situation.
When you work with our team, we’ll gather evidence and come up with a settlement number that takes into account all past and future costs related to the evidence. From there, we will negotiate with the truck company’s insurance firm.
Once you begin the legal process with our team, we’ll be able to give you a better sense of what to realistically expect.
We know that when you are juggling healing, medical costs, and paperwork, the last thing you want to think about is spending more of your hard-earned money on legal fees. That being said, a solid legal team is your best bet for getting compensation for all you’ve lost.
That’s why at Armstrong, Lee & Baker we operate under a strict “you don’t pay until we win” policy. That’s right. No upfront costs, hourly fees, or paid consultations. Just simple and professional legal care from day one, through the end of your journey.
“Every challenge is an opportunity for us to make a difference. Let’s work together to turn your personal injury journey into a successful path forward. ”

The legal process after a truck accident in Fort Worth typically begins once your immediate medical needs are addressed and the crash has been reported to the proper authorities. In the days and weeks that follow, the focus shifts to gathering information. This should include:
Because commercial trucking cases often involve federal and state regulations, this early evidence collection can be especially important.
Once the initial information is gathered, your attorney will usually begin a more detailed investigation into how the crash occurred and who may be responsible. In truck accident cases, liability is not always limited to the driver. The trucking company, vehicle maintenance providers, cargo loaders, or other third parties may also share responsibility depending on the circumstances. During this stage, your legal team may also communicate with insurance companies on your behalf to protect you from low settlement offers or statements that could affect your claim.
After liability is better understood, your case may move into negotiations. Your attorney will typically work to pursue a fair settlement that accounts for medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and the broader impact of the accident on your daily life. Many cases are resolved at this stage, but if the insurance company is unwilling to offer a reasonable resolution, the case may proceed to litigation.
If a lawsuit is filed, the process enters the court system, where both sides exchange evidence through discovery, take depositions, and prepare for trial. Even at this stage, settlement discussions can continue. While the process can take time, having a clear understanding of each step can help make it more manageable and ensure your rights are protected throughout the case.
One of the most important factors in a truck accident case is determining who is legally responsible for the crash. In legal terms, this responsibility is referred to as “fault,” and it plays a central role in how a claim is evaluated and resolved.
Fault can generally fall into one of three categories:
In most personal injury cases, including truck accidents, the focus is on negligence.
A significant part of building a truck accident case involves showing that another party acted negligently. This means identifying evidence that the driver, trucking company, or another involved party failed to follow traffic laws, operated the vehicle unsafely, or made decisions that directly contributed to the crash.
Photos, videos, witness information, and other documentation can help reconstruct what happened and support your version of events. This is why your legal team will spend a significant portion of the process gathering evidence with you (and why those initial photos and videos are so important).
When combined with official reports and additional investigation, this evidence can play a key role in establishing fault and strengthening your claim.
Whether your injury is minor or severe, the route you take to care for yourself can have a major effect on your long-term health and your legal situations.
The next steps that you take are crucial. But most people aren’t sure what to do. We’re here to help.
We’ve broken down everything you need to know and do after you’ve been involved in a collision with a semi-truck,
After a truck accident, your health and safety should always come first. If you or anyone else has been seriously injured, call 911 right away and seek emergency medical care. Getting prompt treatment is the most important step you can take to protect your well-being.
Even if your injuries don’t seem serious—or you’re not sure whether you’ve been hurt—it’s still a good idea to see a doctor as soon as possible. Visiting an urgent care clinic or your primary care physician can help identify injuries that may not be immediately obvious and ensure you receive the treatment you need before symptoms become more severe.
Seeking medical attention early can also be beneficial if you choose to file a personal injury claim. Medical records help document the connection between the accident and your injuries, providing important evidence that may support your case while allowing you to focus on your recovery.
If everyone involved in the accident is safe and you’re able to do so, take time to document the scene before vehicles are moved. Photos and videos can provide valuable evidence later, especially if questions arise about how the crash occurred.
Try to capture images of the overall accident scene, damage to all vehicles involved, skid marks, road conditions, traffic signs or signals, visible injuries, and any other details that may be relevant. Taking photos and videos from multiple angles can help paint a clearer picture of what happened.
This documentation can be an important part of establishing liability, evaluating the extent of the damage, and supporting your claim as the legal process moves forward.
After a truck accident, it’s important to exchange contact and insurance information with the other drivers involved, provided it is safe to do so. Be sure to collect names, phone numbers, driver’s license information, license plate numbers, insurance details, and, if applicable, the trucking company information.
Accidents can be stressful and emotional, but remaining calm can make the situation easier for everyone involved. Try to keep conversations focused on exchanging information and avoid discussing who was at fault or making statements about the cause of the accident. Those questions are best left to law enforcement, insurance companies, and, if necessary, your attorney.
Taking a calm, respectful approach can help protect your interests while allowing the claims process to move forward more smoothly.
After you’ve addressed your immediate medical needs and reported the accident, consider speaking with an attorney as soon as possible. An experienced truck accident lawyer can explain your legal options, answer your questions, and help you understand the steps involved in pursuing a claim.
Because truck accident cases often involve multiple parties, complex regulations, and extensive evidence, having knowledgeable legal guidance early in the process can help protect your rights and preserve important information.
At Armstrong, Lee & Baker, we offer free, no-obligation consultations for people who have been injured in truck accidents. We’ll take the time to learn about your situation, explain your options in clear, straightforward language, and help you understand what to expect as your case moves forward.
No two truck accidents are exactly alike, and neither are the injuries they cause. Some crashes result in life-changing injuries that require extensive medical treatment, while others may seem relatively minor at first. It’s not uncommon for people to walk away from a truck accident believing they weren’t seriously hurt.
However, many injuries don’t appear right away. In the hours, days, or even weeks following a collision, adrenaline can wear off and symptoms may begin to develop. What initially feels like minor soreness or stiffness can sometimes turn out to be a more serious injury that requires medical attention.
Some of the most common injuries associated with truck accidents include:
Because some injuries take time to become noticeable, it’s important to seek medical care as soon as possible after a truck accident, even if you feel fine. A prompt medical evaluation can help identify hidden injuries, ensure you receive the treatment you need, and create documentation that may be important if you decide to pursue a personal injury claim.
Drivers aren’t the only ones who suffer in truck accidents. Passengers in the vehicle can still sustain serious injuries and loss of personal items.
Which means that yes, you are able to go through the legal process and pursue damages, even if you were a passenger in the car. As a passenger, the legal process will be largely the same. Be sure to collect and save photos and video evidence from the scene, medical records, and other pertinent information.

Google Review I cannot recommend Kelly Viktorin at Armstrong Lee & Baker highly enough. After being injured at work, I was incredibly discouraged as many attorneys wouldn’t take my case due to the complexities involved. From our very first consultation, Kelly and her team jumped right in, demonstrating a level of dedication and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. I was consistently kept informed of any updates and felt like a priority. Kelly truly went above and beyond to fight for me, and I am so grateful for her hard work and commitment. If you’re facing a challenging work injury case, especially with a Texas non-subscriber, don’t hesitate to reach out to Kelly Viktorin. You’ll be in excellent hands.
Google Review When I got injured my company didn’t have workers comp. They had something called non subscriber insurance.
I tried a dozen or more lawyers and no one would take my case.
I lost my house in Texas so right as I was moving back to where I was from, Florida, o call Armstrong and Lee. They said they could take my case. Shortly after I meet Adam Grable.
Adam took the case and unraveled it like a champ. It was a difficult case and that’s why other lawyers didn’t take.
Over the next year, Adam because a friend and a member of the family.
I found him brilliant and personable and when needed he found for me.
In the end, we took a settlement even though Adam told me he had a good shot at trial. He understood i wanted this behind me!
If you ever find yourself needed a lawyer trust me Adam Grable will be on your side!
