Fatal Truck Accidents in Texas

Truck accidents often have an overwhelming impact on those involved. The size and weight of these vehicles make it more likely that victims sustain catastrophic and fatal injuries. Each year, more than 17,500 people sustain serious injuries in accidents that require extensive medical treatment and hospitalization. Although we want to believe that everyone recovers from their injuries, this is far from the truth. In fact, thousands of people end up passing away due to injuries sustained in truck accidents throughout our state each year.

The unfortunate truth is that more than 10 people lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents here in Texas every day. These incidents add up to more than 3,600 lives lost annually as a result of traffic-related incidents. Many victims suffer fatal injuries in collisions as a result of the negligent or reckless actions of others. Although we can take proactive measures to ensure the lives of those around us are safe from our actions, we cannot prevent others from engaging in negligent actions while driving. Quite often, these accidents are caused by drivers who are distracted, speeding, or engaging in other activities while operating their vehicles. The aftermath of an accident can have far-reaching consequences for both victims and their families. In some cases, surviving relatives can contact a wrongful death attorney in Texas to protect their legal rights.
