Semi-Truck Accidents in Texas
Every day, crashes involving semi-trucks and eighteen-wheelers cause serious and even fatal injuries. In Texas, more than 6,700 semi-truck collisions were reported in 2022. Statistics show that the state is the site of almost 10 percent of all truck accidents in the United States annually. Commercial vehicles travel about 31 billion miles on Texas roads and highways each year, and most of us encounter a semi-truck any time we hit a highway. Every year, over 500,000 trucking accidents occur in the United States, leaving thousands dead and many more with life-threatening injuries. It is important that you are able to take the necessary steps to protect your legal rights following a devastating trucking accident, and that usually means partnering with a trained personal injury lawyer with a proven history of handling truck injury cases.
