Semi-Truck Crashes in Texas
In Texas, severe trucking accidents result in serious injuries to people every day. The state has the unfortunate reputation of having a disproportionately high number of deadly semi-truck collisions. In fact, according to data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the Lone Star State is home to almost 10 percent of all trucking fatalities reported nationwide in the United States each year. Every 15,000 trucking accidents result in an average of more than 2,000 injuries and 300 fatalities, and in Texas alone, trucking accidents claimed the lives of 649 people in 2022. In 2019, there were 19,000 heavy truck collisions in the state, resulting in 685 fatalities and 3,820 injuries.There is a significant chance that you will be seriously injured if you are involved in a crash with a large semi-truck.
