Deadly Trucking Accidents in Texas

Houston, TX - One Killed, Another Hurt in Truck Accident on Lake Houston Pkwy

Driving can be very nerve-racking if a large commercial truck is also on the road. Unfortunately, Texas has the greatest number of truck-driving fatalities in the country. The majority of the cargo is moved by truck, and Texas plays a significant role in the movement of goods across the country. On any given day, there are more than 2 million trucks on American roads, and in Texas, more than 15,000 semi-truck collisions occur annually, resulting in 2,000 injuries and an estimated 300 fatalities. This translates to roughly one injury in every 7 trucking accidents and one fatality for every 50 crashes.It is always devastating when someone close to you is unexpectedly killed in a trucking accident. These types of cases can be particularly difficult to navigate if you lack the required legal experience. Large truck companies have teams of attorneys and massive insurance policies, and this means that it is not easy to pursue a claim. When these cases involve the wrongful death of a loved one, it can be even more difficult. You need to be sure that you partner with a personal injury lawyer if you want to pursue a claim after a deadly 18-wheeler crash. It can be life-changing to lose someone close to you following an accident, and you need to be prepared to protect your legal rights. The damages resulting from a deadly semi-truck crash will often fall on those closest to the victim, and this can put a significant financial strain on surviving family members. Rasansky Law Firm has a proven history of fighting for the rights of Texas residents, and we want to help you recover if you lost a family member in a deadly semi-truck accident.
