Trucking Accidents in Texas

For the American economy to function, commercial trucks like semi-trucks and tractor-trailers serve a critical purpose. Semi-truck collisions typically result in more serious injuries for those involved. Trucks, after all, are big, massive vehicles that often move dangerous materials across the nation. In just 2019, 5,237 truck crashes resulted in fatalities, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). There were another 119,000 collisions that were severe enough to cause injuries.

Texas highways are often filled with large commercial vehicles like 18-wheelers and other trucks. These rigs are known to cause fatal collisions all around the state. The force from a semi-truck colliding with another vehicle can be devastating to everyone, and these kinds of accidents are known to cause fatal or life-threatening injuries to victims.

Tragically, many victims of truck accidents do not get the medical attention or financial assistance they need to properly recover. The trucking industry makes a concerted effort to reduce the amount of damages that accident victims are compensated for.
