Fatal 18-Wheeler Crashes in Texas

A large truck can be completely devastating in the event of a crash, particularly for those traveling in smaller vehicles. Unfortunately, semi-truck crashes are frequent on Texas roadways. In fact, the state accounts for about 10 percent of all trucking accidents reported in the United States. According to the latest crash statistics, 6,740 trucking accidents were registered in the state in 2022. In every 15,000 trucking crashes in Texas, there are an estimated 300 fatalities and 2,000 injuries, and many Texans lose their lives in 18-wheeler crashes every year. The majority of truck accidents involve passenger cars, and you must be ready to pursue compensation if someone close to you is killed in an unexpected traffic accident. 

Nothing can hurt you more than losing a loved one in a catastrophic accident. It is not unusual for the deceased's family members to feel as though their lives will never be the same. Negligence is a factor in the majority of fatal trucking accidents, but you can discover afterward that someone else's careless behavior resulted in the death of a close family member. This only serves to make an already difficult time much harder to bear.
