HB 19 protects the rights of Texans who are truly injured in a commercial vehicle accident, while reducing opportunities for some trial lawyers to manipulate evidence at trial to seek millions in damages in cases where the commercial vehicle owner was not at fault or the plaintiff was not injured.
HB 19 will help ensure the “rules of the road” for highway accident cases are applied in a uniform and fair manner in all Texas courtrooms.
In turn, this will literally save small businesses operating commercial vehicles in Texas from bankruptcies and closures by freeing up money currently spent paying sky-high insurance premiums for more productive purposes.
Note: Bill language is subject to change throughout the legislative process.
