What these records mean if you were injured
Fleet-wide averages don't decide individual cases. Liability turns on what this specific driver, dispatcher, and truck's logs show in the hours before your crash.
Across 605 federal inspections in the past two years, Coastal Transport Company's vehicle out-of-service rate (7.5%) places below the median of comparable high-inspection-volume carriers with crash records.
$2M in liability coverage is on file — 2.7× the $750K federal floor for general freight.
In Texas, a personal-injury lawsuit must generally be filed within 2 years of the crash.
For the most recent crash on this record, that general window runs to about Apr 2028.
For a death, the deadline generally runs from the date of death, not the crash date — FMCSA counts a death within 30 days of the crash as a crash fatality.
There are exceptions — which ones apply to your case is a lawyer's job.
What to do if you were injured in a Coastal Transport Company crash

The carrier named here may not be the only responsible party — brokers, shippers, and manufacturers sit outside this record, each on their own clock.

This record is attached to your submission — your attorney starts with the evidence already pulled.
Why timing matters
State law may give you years to file a claim — but the evidence often doesn't last that long. Dashcam and onboard data can be overwritten within days. Federal rules require carriers to keep a driver's electronic logs (ELD) for only six months; after that, deletion is lawful. A preservation letter from an attorney puts the carrier on formal notice — destroying evidence after that point risks court sanctions.
Night-driving crash pattern
The Safeny Night-Driving Pattern: Of 24 documented crashes in the past 5 years, 11 occurred in dark conditions. This represents a 45.8% dark-condition share, which is statistically distinct (p<0.05) from the national FMCSA baseline of 25.7%.
