Fatal Truck Accidents in Texas

Every two minutes, someone is injured in a car accident somewhere in our state. These accidents add up to more than 270,000 people injured annually as a result of traffic-related incidents. Although we hope that everyone involved in unexpected collisions is able to recover from their injuries, this is not always the case. In fact, thousands of people die as a result of crashes caused by negligent and reckless drivers throughout the state.

On average, ten people are killed in motor vehicle accidents across the state of Texas daily. These accidents add up to more than 3,600 lives lost during each year. Accidents involving semi-trucks claim the lives of nearly 650 people every year in our state. These preventable accidents continue to cause overwhelming mental and emotional suffering for families who are forced to endure the consequences of losing loved ones unexpectedly. Not only are families forced to experience overwhelming mental and emotional pain and suffering after an unexpected loss, but they are often forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on funerals while dealing with lost earnings and other financial burdens. Although it can seem as if no amount of compensation will ever make us whole again after losing loved ones in accidents that are completely avoidable, families can work with wrongful death attorneys in Texas to obtain the compensation they need to cover the financial burdens they face moving forward.
