Fatal Semi-Truck Motorcycle Crashes in Texas

Winters, TX - Bradshaw Man on Motorcycle Killed in Semi-Truck Crash at US-83 & FM 1086In 2011, there were no days without a fatality on Texas roads. Not all crashes involve commercial trucks, but fatalities are common in these accidents due to the size and weight disparity between large trucks and motorcycles, which weigh just 3,000 to 5,000 pounds on average. In Texas in 2010, there were 284 fatal truck collisions, some of the highest rates in the nation. 

Texas wrongful death attorneys are aware that anyone or any organization that contributed to a person's death due to negligence or inappropriate behavior is subject to legal liability. The defendant may be held legally responsible for any damages if someone dies as a result of their negligence. You will need to contact an attorney to see if you have grounds to pursue a claim for damages.
