Truck Accidents in Texas

Being involved in a truck crash can have a devastating impact on your life. Regrettably, we see many people left with severe and life-altering injuries due to these accidents. Some common injuries reported in truck crashes in our state include:

  • Broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Internal organ injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries (which can result in paralysis)
  • Severe lacerations
  • Burn injuries

Regrettably, many of these accidents are a result of drivers who act negligently while behind the when. The federal government’s Large Truck Causal Factors Study found that the leading causes of crashes involving large trucks were:

  • Unsafe driving behaviors, such as speeding, following too closely and drinking alcohol
  • Driver inexperience
  • Inattention or distraction
  • Poorly maintained vehicles
  • Roadway conditions

When drivers act negligently while behind the wheel, they place the lives of innocent people at risk.
