18-wheeler Crashes in Texas
In Texas, there are numerous reports of collisions involving semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and other commercial rigs. Texas Monthly research shows that around 62 percent of trucking accidents happen on highways and interstates, and the state accounts for around 10 percent of all trucking accidents nationwide. This shows that semi-truck accidents are extremely common in the state. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), 649 people died in big rig accidents on Texas highways last year. Managing the aftermath alone after a catastrophic semi-truck collision can be challenging. If you or a loved one is injured, it is always advised that you work with an experienced semi-truck attorney to pursue a compelling claim for compensation.
