Deadly Semi-Truck Crashes in Texas

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that there are more than 3 million collisions involving tractor-trailers reported annually across the United States. Almost 40 percent of these accidents involve a passenger car. The majority of deaths resulting from trucking accidents involve occupants of a personal vehicle. When these accidents result in the death of a family member, it can be extremely devastating, and you need to be ready to protect your legal rights. A commercial rig is substantially larger than a passenger car. These massive vehicles are much harder to control, and there are many factors that can contribute to a catastrophic accident. The size of the rig means that the majority of the impact is felt by those traveling in a smaller vehicle. When these accidents take place at high speed, the results are nothing short of disastrous. When a trucking accident results in fatal injuries, those closest to the victim are experiencing an intense grief unlike anything else. Many times families do not even consider pursuing any legal action in order to make a recovery. This is a mistake. If you wait too long to file a wrongful death claim, you risk losing key evidence that can be crucial to your case. It can be uncomfortable to turn the loss of a family member into a legal issue.
