18-Wheeler Crashes in Texas

Large semi-trucks and 18-wheelers are involved in the more than 57,000 commercial truck accidents that are reported in the United States each year, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Over 6,700 semi-truck collisions took place in Texas in 2022, making up over 10 percent of all truck collisions nationwide. Large trucks travel more than 31 billion miles every year on the state's roads, and this is why you may notice that is common to share the road with an 18-wheeler while traveling in the state. Nearly half of trucking accidents involve passenger cars, and those traveling in a smaller vehicle are more likely to suffer life-threatening injuries. 

Personal injury claims can be extremely complex, and those involving 18-wheelers present unique challenges. There are often many parties involved in these collisions. You will be going up against more than just a reckless truck driver. The company that employs the trucker, owns the rig, or manages general maintenance may have played a part. You should get in touch with an informed attorney who has dealt with semi-truck cases in the past to find out who is liable for your damages and injuries and maximize your compensation.
