Fatal Tractor-Trailer Crashes in Texas
Texas is a state where car accidents can happen at any time, and on its roadways that year, there were no days without a fatality. Despite the fact that not all truck accidents involve huge 18-wheelers, fatalities frequently arise from the size and weight disparity between large trucks and passenger automobiles, which weigh just 3,000 to 5,000 pounds on average. In 2010, there were 284 fatal truck accidents in Texas. If a loved one was killed in a semi-truck crash, contact a qualified attorney as soon as possible.
Nothing in the world will ever truly make up for the loss of a loved one, but the untimely death of a family member or spouse who was in charge of maintaining the household’s emotional and financial stability can have a significant impact on the surviving members.
