Texas Semi-Truck Accidents 

There are a lot of tractor-trailer, semi-truck, and other commercial rig-related collisions reported in Texas. Nearly 62 percent of trucking accidents occur on highways and interstates, according to Texas Monthly data. Semi-truck accidents are incredibly common in the state, with some statistics showing that nearly 10 percent of the nation's trucking accidents take place in Texas. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports that big rig accidents resulted in 649 fatalities on Texas roads in a recent year. It can be hard to handle the aftermath of a serious semi-truck accident on your own. It is always recommended that you are able to partner with a skilled semi-truck lawyer in order to pursue a strong claim for compensation if you or someone close to you is hurt. 

A lawyer with experience in managing semi-truck accident cases is necessary if you or someone you care about is hurt by a reckless truck driver. The other parties involved will likely have their own legal representation, and they will have someone at the scene almost immediately to start developing a case. To level the playing field, you must ensure that you have a trained legal team acting as your own advocate. A lawyer can help you strengthen your case and fight for the compensation you need to achieve a full recovery. There is too much at risk to leave your case to chance. Only a trained lawyer will be able to help you get the best possible outcome for your claim.
