Semi-Truck Accidents in Texas
A collision with a huge truck could result in total destruction and life-threatening injuries for those involved. Around 23,000 truck-related accidents occurred in Texas in 2016. In 2019, 1,435 accidents involving semi-trucks carrying freight happened, and there were 452 fatal truck-tractors or semi-truck trailer crashes. According to a study from 2018, 11 of the 50 most dangerous highway sections in the nation are located in Texas, implying that the state’s infrastructure alone raises the probability of suffering significant injuries in an incident involving a semi-truck. Those who were injured in a crash involving a commercial vehicle should contact a qualified attorney for compensation.
The Texas Department of Transportation reports that Texas has the most fatal commercial vehicle collisions nationwide. 18-wheeler accidents produce some of the most horrific crash scenes. Due to their size, semi-trucks and 18-wheelers frequently cause fatalities, serious injuries, and huge amounts of property damage. To safeguard other drivers, it is crucial that drivers and the businesses that hire them obey the traffic laws. A huge rig that is completely loaded may weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Due to their size, heavy rigs have the potential to cause much more serious personal injuries in an accident.
