The value of a garbage truck accident case depends on several factors, like:
No two cases are exactly alike, but we work hard to make sure your compensation reflects the full scope of your losses. This can include medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and even future treatment needs. If the garbage truck was operated by a city or private waste company that can also affect how your case is handled and how much you may recover.
Once we understand the details of your situation, we can give you a clearer picture of what your case might be worth.

Even if you’re being blamed for a garbage truck accident, you may still be able to recover compensation. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. That means as long as you’re less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you’re found to be 20% responsible, your total recovery would be reduced by 20%. Insurance companies love to shift blame, but we know how to push back with facts, evidence, and a strong strategy to protect your rights.
Garbage trucks are large, heavy, and often operate in tight residential areas, making accidents more likely than you’d think.
In Austin, common causes of garbage truck accidents include:
Whether the truck is operated by a private company or a city contractor, these accidents can cause serious injuries. Our team knows how to dig into the details and hold the right parties accountable, no matter how big they are.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases, including garbage truck accidents, is two years from the date of the accident. That means you generally have two years to file a lawsuit, or you could lose your right to recover compensation.
Waiting too long can hurt your case, so it’s best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve key evidence.
McMinn Personal Injury Lawyers are here to support you with experience, compassion, and relentless dedication. We know the law, we know Austin, and we know how to fight for the compensation you deserve.
