Texas Deadly Trucking Accidents

In Texas in 2011, there were no days on the state's roadways without a fatality. Semi-trucks are not involved in every fatal accident, but these massive vehicles are known to cause catastrophic injuries. Big trucks and smaller vehicles differ in size and weight, with an 18-wheeler typically weighing between 3,000 and 5,000 pounds on average. In Texas, there were 284 fatal truck accidents in 2010, and anyone involved in such a crash may be entitled to compensation.
