Truck Accidents in Texas

Truck accidents throughout the United States leave more than 100,000 people injured in injured. More than 2,200 of those harmed are injured in truck accidents throughout Texas. The size and weight of semi-trucks drastically increase the chance that victims involved in collisions with them will incur life-altering injuries like spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries. In many cases, victims are left with debilitating injuries that require immediate hospitalization and extensive treatment to recover. In most cases, victims who are seriously injured have to undergo emergency surgery. After surgery, they have to spend several days or even weeks in hospitals recovering from their injuries. Their hospitalizations are followed by months of therapy while enduring overwhelming pain and suffering. Many victims never truly recover from their injuries.
