Local authorities are handling the ongoing crash investigation.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Commercial trucks like semi-trucks and tractor-trailers are an essential part of our economy, and the drivers and passengers of smaller passenger vehicles are known to sustain serious injuries in collisions involving large commercial rigs. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, there were 5,237 semi-truck accidents that resulted in fatalities in 2017, and there were another 119,000 collisions that were severe enough to cause injuries. You may have a claim for compensation if you were hurt by a negligent truck driver in Texas.
Standards are in place to provide a minimum level of safety for the driver and the trucking company. Professional truck drivers are required to complete specialized safety training and respect strict traffic laws. Unfortunately, corporations and drivers alike take shortcuts to boost their profits, even at the expense of threatening other drivers' lives.
Due to the requirement to fulfill rigorous deadlines, commercial drivers occasionally continue to drive even when the law says they should stop, and this means exhausted truckers are behind the wheel of a massive rig. When a truck driver disregards the traffic laws that other motorists are obligated to abide by, or when the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations are disregarded, tractor-trailer crashes can leave innocent bystanders with serious injuries.
