Commercial Vehicle Accidents in Texas

An accident involving a commercial vehicle can be incredibly devastating. Each year, thousands of people across Texas are hospitalized with severe and life-altering injuries due to collisions. There are several factors that contribute to the high rate of accidents that we see here in Texas. These include:

  • Weather conditions: Bad weather can make driving conditions very difficult. Heavy rain, fog, and even snow can limit a driver’s visibility and lead to a serious accident.
  • Speeding: Traveling too fast for the weather and road conditions can lead to a serious accident. There are many cases where vehicles collide with trains due to speeding motorists.
  • Impaired driving: Drivers who are impaired may engage in risky behavior while operating the vehicle. As a result, they are likely to be involved in serious train accidents.
  • Distracted driving: When drivers are distracted while behind the wheel, they are likely to be involved in serious accidents that leave victims with devastating injuries. Distractions can take the attention off the road ahead, increasing the risk that drivers do not see other vehicles stopped or traveling nearby.
