Dallas County Filing & Texas Comparative Fault Rules
Cybertruck accident claims are filed in Dallas County District Courts. Texas follows a 51% bar rule under Section 33.001 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code—you cannot recover damages if you're more than 50% at fault. The 2-year statute of limitations applies to personal injury claims.
Product liability claims against Tesla involve strict liability, negligence, and breach of warranty theories. The NHTSA has opened multiple investigations into Cybertruck issues including unintended acceleration, suspension failures, and panel detachment. The stainless steel body creates unique crash dynamics—rigid panels don't crumple like traditional aluminum or steel.
Cybertruck-Specific Injury Patterns
Cybertruck accidents present unusual injury mechanisms. The angular stainless steel body can cause severe lacerations in pedestrian impacts. The vehicle's 6,600+ lb weight (with Cyberbeast exceeding 6,800 lbs) increases collision severity. Early crash data from Tesla's Q3 2024 safety reports suggests different injury patterns compared to traditional trucks.
