Texas Truck Accident Attorneys
An investigation into this accident will prove essential due to the fact that two commercial trucks collided with each other and left one person dead and two others injured. The driver of the semi-truck that caused the accident, and the trucking company, may be liable for any damages brought forth upon the occupants that were injured.
With any Texas roads, there are various commercial trucks that travel on a daily and nightly basis. While sometimes careful, they sometimes result in fatal crashes. A standard semi-truck weighs an average of 4,000 pounds while a large vehicle can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Because of the nature of their size, weight, and force, getting involved in an 18-wheeler accident can result in thousands in damages.
