Houston, TX (November 24, 2023) – A series of collisions reported in the Houston area ended in injuries. The crash occurred just after 7:00 a.m. on November 22. The Texas Department of Public Safety was requested on-site at a crash on the Interstate 10 Freeway.
Reports from local law enforcement show that a collision involving an 18-wheeler and a Hyundai Sonata occurred on the freeway in the area near Highway 6. After the initial collision, the Hyundai collided with a second vehicle. A police officer and the driver of the Hyundai were both injured in the crash.

We hope the two victims are able to recover quickly following this crash.
Each year, truck accidents across the United States result in thousands of injuries. Many of these accidents are a result of preventable accidents that are caused by acts of negligence. This can include negligent hiring practices, drivers who are negligent while behind the wheel, and even inadequate maintenance. If you find yourself injured in a truck accident, it is crucial to explore your legal options to move forward. Working with an experienced commercial vehicle accident lawyer is vital to protecting your rights.
Determining the responsible party is critical in pursuing legal action following a truck accident. Several parties may bear liability for the damages you have endured as a result of your accident. In certain cases, the truck driver may be liable if their reckless driving or impairment by drugs or alcohol contributed to the accident. However, liability can also extend to other parties involved in the transportation process, such as truck companies and even manufacturers.
Truck companies can be held accountable for accidents resulting from maintenance issues or negligent hiring practices. For example, if a company hires a driver with a history of traffic violations or fails to properly maintain their trucks, they may be held responsible for the resulting damages.
Furthermore, state laws play a significant role in determining liability in truck accidents. Negligence laws differ from one state to another, influencing the potential compensation for an injured party.
Identifying the liable party in a truck accident requires a thorough investigation and analysis of all relevant evidence surrounding the incident. Seeking advice from experienced attorneys can aid in determining fault and taking appropriate legal action.
