What if a garbage truck hit me in Sugar Land?
It depends on who runs the truck. If a city vehicle and employee were involved, the claim falls under the Texas Tort Claims Act, with a six-month notice deadline and capped damages. If a private hauler under contract was involved, the claim is an ordinary one against that company and its commercial insurer. The truck’s markings usually tell you which.
Does Fort Bend County have a different deadline for truck accident lawsuits?
No. The two-year Texas statute of limitations applies in Fort Bend County like everywhere else in the state. Shorter notice deadlines apply when a government vehicle is involved. The practical deadline is much earlier than two years, because truck data and dashcam video from a Sugar Land crash can be overwritten within weeks.
