Semi-Truck Accidents in Texas
If you or someone close to you is involved in a semi-truck accident, there is a high chance of suffering serious injuries. There were 12,542 trucking accidents reported across Texas in 2023. A total of 563 people lost their lives in these crashes that year. The state is the site of nearly 10 percent of national trucking accidents, and the state plays a key role in the national transportation infrastructure. That means many highway systems that crisscross throughout Texas are filled with commercial vehicles, increasing the risk of a life-threatening crash.
Collisions involving large 18-wheelers can be incredibly complicated. You will be going up against more than just a reckless truck driver if you or someone close to you is hurt in a trucking accident. In many cases, the transportation company that employs the drivers, the organization that owns the rig, and even third-party parts manufacturers could have played a role in the accident.
