Our thoughts are with the injured victim and her family at this time. We hope for a full recovery.

Semi-Truck Accidents in Texas

Houston, TX - Woman Seriously Injured in Head-On Crash with Semi on US-290The highways of Texas are filled with large commercial rigs, and these vehicles can cause utter devastation in the event of a crash. In the United States, there are about 500,000 collisions involving 18-wheelers each year, and there are over 5,000 fatal semi-truck accidents reportedly annually. You may be able to pursue a claim for damages if you were injured in a trucking accident. Personal injury claims involving 18-wheeler crashes are often more challenging than a typical collision. This is partly because 18-wheeler drivers and the companies that hire them are subject to both state and federal laws and regulations. As a result, your lawyer will need to consider both Texas law and any relevant federal statutes when pursuing an 18-wheeler accident claim.The commercial transportation market in the United States is crucial to the functioning of the economy. These large companies have a team of trained attorneys intended to prevent paying out injury claims and shift the focus away from the company. This means you are already starting off at a disadvantage when you pursue a claim against a large trucking company. A Texas truck accident lawyer with knowledge and resources is required to handle your claim and make sure you have the legal backing you need. The lawyers at Rasansky Law Firm are here to help if you or a loved one was injured in a crash with an 18-wheeler or another big rig.
