Deadly Head-On Crashes in Texas
When two vehicles collide head-on, the resulting damages can be catastrophic. This is even more true when the accident involves a large vehicle such as an 18-wheeler. Head-on crashes make up a high number of annual traffic fatalities in the United States at 10 percent. This is particularly shocking when you consider that less than 2 percent of crashes involve head-on impacts. These accidents are often brought about due to the actions of other drivers, namely those who veer into oncoming traffic either due to inclement roadway conditions or general negligence. It can seem difficult to move on if someone close to you is taken too soon in a trucking accident. It is common for families to be unsure of what to do next in order to protect their legal rights.
