Semi-Truck Accidents in Texas

Shepherd, TX - Two Injured in Crash with Semi, Cadillac on US-59When a large semi-truck strikes a car, the results can be disastrous. According to TxDOT statistics, 5,620 semi-truck accidents occurred in Texas in 2022, and a total of 1,228 people died as a result of 928 fatal trucking accidents, which is roughly twice as much as the national average. Parties hurt in transportation accidents should contact an experienced attorney in order to obtain full and just compensation for their losses and ensure that the at-fault party is held responsible. Texas highways are covered in commercial vehicles like 18-wheelers and other massive trucks. These types of vehicles have caused a high number of fatal collisions all around the state. The force from a semi-truck colliding with another vehicle can be devastating, particularly to those traveling in smaller passenger cars, and these kinds of accidents are known to cause fatal or life-threatening injuries to victims.
