Trucking Accidents in Texas
Each year in Texas, a sizable number of traffic accidents include tractor-trailers, semi-tractor-trailers, and other commercial trucks. Most trucking accidents in Texas occur on the state’s highways. According to the annual report on large truck and bus crash statistics published by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Texas heavy truck crashes claimed 649 lives in 2017. The 649 fatalities were the highest amount since 2007 and the most in any year. Texas led the nation with 556 deadly large truck crashes in 2017, followed by 103 fatal single-vehicle crashes and 453 fatal large truck crashes involving multiple vehicles.
Accident victims too frequently let insurance claims handlers handle their claims for compensation. The goal of the insurance rep is to reduce the expenses that their company is responsible for. They are not attempting to make accident victims’ lives better. The commitments they frequently have to the insurance business they work for conflict with what is ideal for you and your family. Insurance companies frequently provide those without attorneys with much lower settlement amounts than are appropriate, and frequently go above and beyond what the law and the insurance policy permit.
The majority of individuals are unaware of the subtleties of insurance claims and how they could apply to various situations, as well as Texas’s extremely complicated legal system.
