Fatal Truck Accidents in Texas

A fatal truck accident can have an overwhelming impact on your family. Unfortunately, we see thousands of people lose their lives as a result of truck accidents in the United States each year. Here in Texas, hundreds of people suffer fatal injuries as a result of drivers who engage in negligent actions while operating their vehicles.

Driver fatigue is one of the most common factors in fatal truck accidents. Drivers who are tired are more likely to make mistakes and have slower reflexes. This can lead to them not being able to react in time to avoid an accident.

Another factor that contributes to the high frequency of fatal truck accidents in our state is speeding. It is no secret that truck drivers are under immense pressure to make it to their destination on time. As a result, many of them end up speeding in order to make it. This can lead to them losing control of their vehicles are not being able to stop in time to avoid a collision.

Distractions are another common cause of crashes involving commercial trucks. When truck drivers are looking at their GPS units, eating, or even using their CB radios, it can take their attention away from the road and increase the chances of being involved in an accident. Finally, unsecured loads can shift during transport and fall off of trucks, causing accidents or blocking roads entirely.
