18-wheeler Accidents in Texas

When a large semi-truck or 18-wheeler is involved in a car accident, there is a very real chance that anyone involved could get seriously hurt. Each year, trucking accidents claim the lives of about 5,000 individuals, and over 500,000 trucking accidents take place in the United States on average. Texas experienced a high number of serious trucking accidents, and the state accounts for over 10 percent of all semi-truck crashes nationwide. Passenger automobiles are involved in most trucking accidents, and occupants of smaller cars are much more likely to suffer from life-threatening injuries.
