Could my Dallas truck accident have been caused by distracted driving?

Answer:

Despite federal regulations that are designed to keep Texas truckers alert and attentive while behind the wheel, truckers can still spend many uninterrupted hours on the road without interruption or breaks. These long, often monotonous hours mean that truckers often distract themselves with activities inside their cab.
At any given time, a trucker could be: eating a meal, talking on a cell phone, texting, using a laptop computer, or even watching a movie. These activities are dangerous while driving and distracting to truckers – and they can easily lead to 18-wheeler truck accidents.
