Semi-Truck Accidents in Texas

El Paso, TX - Semi-Truck Accident with Injuries at Lee Trevino Dr & Gateway BlvdYou're likely to see trucks whenever you go on the highways because there are more than 15 million heavy trucks in the United States. The American transportation sector cannot be understood without including trucking. 2020 saw 4,014 fatal semi-truck accidents. When compared to 2009, the number of fatalities involving semi-trucks increased by 28% in 2020. Compared to 2009, the number of truck occupant fatalities increased by 35% in 2020, and there were 110 fewer trucking fatalities that year.

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, commercial vehicle collisions involving fatalities occur most frequently in Texas. Some of the most gruesome crash situations involve 18-wheelers. Semi-trucks and 18-wheelers commonly result in fatalities, serious injuries, and significant amounts of property damage because of their size. Drivers and the companies that employ them must abide by the law in order to protect other motorists. A large truck could weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded.
