18-wheeler Crashes in Texas

There is a very real possibility that you will be seriously hurt if you are involved in a crash with a huge semi-truck or 18-wheeler. Approximately 5,000 people lose their lives in trucking accidents every year, and there are typically over 500,000 trucking accidents in the United States on average. Texas is home to more than 10 percent of all semi-truck crashes across the country, and it should come as no surprise that the state has a higher-than-average rate of serious trucking accidents. The majority of trucking accidents involve passenger cars, and people in smaller cars are far more likely to sustain potentially fatal injuries. 

If you are wrongly injured in a trucking accident, hiring a skilled attorney can help you get the most money possible for your case.
