Were You Involved in a Texas Trucking Accident?
Trucks are vital to the U.S. economy. Without trucks, Texans would not have food in the stores, medicine in the hospitals, or furniture in our homes. It is no wonder we are constantly navigating the roadways with 18 wheeler trucks.
While trucks provide a valuable service, they also expose us to significant danger. Not all goods make it to final destinations without being involved in trucking accidents in Texas.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, each year there are around 10.5 million motor vehicle accidents across the country and large trucks are involved in about 4 percent of those accidents. Due to the size of the trucks compared to other vehicles, the severity of injuries in trucking accidents is very high. Large trucks accounted for 9.1 percent of vehicles involved in fatal accidents in Texas in 2008. More interesting, 80 percent of the fatalities are the occupants of the other vehicles, not the occupants of the truck.
