Deadly Trucking Accidents in Texas

There has been a significant increase in the number of deadly trucking accidents in the state of Texas, and these collisions have continued to be a serious issue in the state. From 2009 to 2021, there were 579,568 reported semi-truck crashes reported in the state, and these collisions resulted in 716 fatalities. This means that Texas has nearly double the number of trucking-related fatalities of California, the state with the second-highest number of deadly crashes. The state experiences high levels of traffic and serves a key role in the national transportation network. 

Without large rigs traveling the state’s highways, the majority of cargo shipped on tractor-trailers would not be able to get from coast to coast. You need an experienced attorney on your side if you or someone close to you is hurt or killed in a semi-truck crash. 

Dealing with the death of a loved one is never easy, and it is often even more difficult to bear when you later discover that the loss was caused by the actions of a reckless driver. You need to do everything in your power to make sure that you and your loved ones are able to make a complete recovery following a deadly trucking accident. Many families do not even consider taking legal action after a fatal crash. The state of Texas provides families with the ability to recover lost compensation after a deadly collision by pursuing a wrongful death claim. 

You should never try to handle a wrongful death lawsuit on your own. Only an experienced lawyer with years of experience can help families make a complete recovery. Collecting the relevant evidence required to prove negligence can be much more difficult than you may think, and dealing with insurance providers during the process can be even harder.
