Texas Truck Accident Attorneys

An investigation into this accident will prove essential due to the fact that two commercial trucks collided into other vehicles, into each other, and left a massive fuel spill on Interstate 30. The drivers of the semi-trucks that caused the accident, and the trucking company, may be liable for any damages brought forth upon motorists.

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.
