Truck Accidents in Texas

A truck accident can change your life instantly. Being left with serious physical and emotional pain and suffering can make it seem difficult to move forward. Unfortunately, we see countless people left with severe spinal cord injuries, internal organ injuries, and even broken bones as a result of these devastating crashes. There are many instances where people are harmed as a result of negligent parties.

One of the most common causes of fatal truck accidents is fatigued motorists. When a truck driver is fatigued, they are more likely to make mistakes and cause an accident.

Another common cause of fatal truck accidents is speeding. Truck drivers often have to drive long hours and may be tempted to speed in order to make their deliveries on time. Speeding makes it more difficult for the driver to control the truck and can lead to devastating accidents.

Inadequate maintenance is another common cause of fatal truck accidents. When trucks are not properly maintained, they are more likely to break down or have mechanical problems that can lead to an accident.
