Truck Accidents in Texas

Texas has the highest number of deadly crashes nationwide, as well as the highest number of fatal heavy truck incidents, which makes sense given the state's vast network of roads and high population density. Nearly 13 percent of the nation's deadly truck accidents occurred on Texas highways last year. Data from 2021 auto accidents released last year indicate a consistent rise in auto accidents year over year. Even more concerning is the fact that the fatality rate rose by more than 15 percent between 2020 and 2021, with reported 4,489 vehicle accidents in 2021. A massive truck can cause complete devastation in the event of a collision, and it is important that you are ready to protect your legal rights during this difficult time. An experienced lawyer can fight to get you the full value of your case. 

Because trucks and other huge commercial vehicles are so massive, they are unstoppable when bikers, autos, and pedestrians are involved in a crash. Serious to deadly injuries can result from semi-truck accidents. The trucking company and its attorneys will battle hard to give you the least amount of money possible for your losses and injuries the more serious the crash. They will do anything to avoid taking accountability, from concealing crucial information to accusing defenseless victims there. The severity and scope of injuries sustained in truck accidents can result in thousands of dollars in medical costs for victims. To lessen your own financial load, you might be able to get reimbursed for these losses by pursuing a personal injury claim.
