Texas Truck Accidents

Collisions involving commercial vehicles can have a devastating impact on the lives of those involved. Every year, a substantial number of individuals in the United States require hospitalization due to severe and life-altering injuries sustained in these accidents. Several factors contribute to the high frequency of accidents observed in our state, including:

• Weather conditions: Adverse weather, such as heavy rain, fog, or snow, can significantly impair driving conditions. Limited visibility during inclement weather increases the risk of serious accidents.
• Speeding: Traveling at excessive speeds considering the weather and road conditions, escalates the likelihood of a severe accident. There are countless instances where speeding drivers cost serious and life-altering injuries to other people after crashing into their vehicles.
• Impaired driving: Impaired drivers engage in risky behavior while operating vehicles, making them highly susceptible to serious accidents.
• Distracted driving: Driver distractions take their attention from the road, substantially increasing the probability of serious accidents that result in devastating injuries. Many accidents take place as a result of texting, eating, and talking to passengers. These common distractions can prevent drivers from noticing stopped or nearby vehicles.
