Fatal 18-Wheeler Crashes in Texas
18-wheeler accidents result in over 2,000 injuries and close to 300 fatalities each year. About 2 million large rigs operate in the United States, and more than 500,000 18-wheeler incidents take place across the nation every year. The number of fatalities involving semi-trucks is estimated to be 5,000. A driver or passenger of a car other than a truck is involved in almost 98 percent of these fatalities. These large vehicles are capable of inflicting serious and even life-threatening injuries in the event of a crash.
The only way to ensure that the negligent parties are held accountable, that similarly risky behavior will not result in further fatalities, and that you and your family have enough money to care for and support one another in the event of your loved one’s passing is to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Our lawyers know that there is no way to adequately compensate for the loss of a loved one.
