Texas Truck Accident Lawyers

With any Texas area, there are various commercial trucks on the road. 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. Pending the result of the investigation and why the driver fell asleep at the wheel, the damages may result in thousands in medical expenses and company vehicle damages.
