Semi-truck Accidents in Texas
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports that over 57,000 commercial vehicle accidents occur in the United States annually. In 2022, there were over 6,700 semi-truck collisions in Texas, accounting for more than 10 percent of all truck collisions nationwide. Large trucks travel more than 31 billion miles each year across the Lone Star State, and it is common to share highways and roads with large commercial vehicles while traveling in Texas. Passenger automobiles are involved in over half of trucking accidents, and those who drive in smaller vehicles are more likely to sustain potentially fatal injuries. These types of crashes can result in serious injuries, and that is why it is even more important that you are ready to take the necessary steps to pursue a full recovery.
