Semi-Truck Accidents in Texas

Commercial trucks like 18-wheelers and semi-trailers are some of the largest vehicles on the roadway. They play a key role in the national transportation infrastructure. Even without being equipped with a trailer, semi-trucks can weigh anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 pounds. When fully weighted down with freight, they can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. The sheer force involved means that a semi-truck accident can result in life-changing injuries that you are not ready to deal with on your own. 

Car crashes happen all across the country, but Texas is particularly prone to serious collisions. The state has some of the most dangerous roadways in the nation. Truck drivers, transportation companies, and cargo companies can be potentially held responsible for a serious auto accident. If these parties fail in their roles to prevent a crash, they can be held liable with the help of a trained attorney. These entities will be armed to the teeth with legal counsel, and you need to get your own lawyer in order to level the playing field. You may be entitled to lost compensation if you or someone close to you was unfairly hurt by an 18-wheeler accident. A trained lawyer will be able to help you pursue a strong claim in defense of your full and fair compensation.
