Orange, TX (August 6, 2023) - On Thursday, August 3, a local man was killed after a devastating accident in the Orange area.
The deadly accident occurred on Interstate 10 near mile marker 877 in Orange County early that morning at around 2:30 a.m. It was reported that a Ford F-150 pickup truck was traveling east when it struck a concrete barrier on the interstate. The truck overturned and came to a rest in the travel lane.
It was then that an eastbound Freightliner truck semi-trailer hit the vehicle. The 47-year-old Orange man driving the Ford suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 50-year-old Humble man driving the rig was not hurt in the collision. No further information has been provided at this time.
Local authorities are handling the ongoing accident investigation.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
The weight of large commercial trucks is frequently 20 to 30 times more than that of a regular passenger car. This size disparity means collisions are likely to be more devastating. Those who are unfortunate enough to be involved in a collision with one of these massive vehicles could suffer life-changing injuries. Texas has a higher-than-average rate of fatal trucking accidents, and with the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney, families may be able to obtain compensation. Any losses or damages incurred as a result of a fatal semi-truck accident can potentially be recovered. Wrongful death claims allow the surviving family members of a deceased party to recover these and other financial expenses. You need to consider pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit to get compensation. The three primary types of damages you could receive in a wrongful death claim are punitive or exemplary damages, non-economic compensatory damages, and economic compensatory damages. You should always speak with a lawyer if you want to learn the real value of your case. Understanding damages can be difficult. Economic losses frequently involve financial losses like medical expenses, burial expenses, lost future earning potential, and more. The psychological and emotional effects of coping with a loved one's wrongful death, such as loss of consortium, companionship, support, services, society, and comfort, result in non-economic losses. Punitive damages are not as common and are intended to punish the at-fault party in order to prevent similar behavior in the future. Tens of thousands are killed each year in trucking accidents, and statistics show that these types of crashes are more likely to result in fatal injuries.
