Truck Accidents in Texas

Wichita Falls, TX – One Person Injured in Semi-Truck Crash on US-281Every year, tens of thousands of people are injured in motor vehicle accidents throughout our state. The unfortunate truth is that nearly 80% of collisions throughout our state each year are caused by driver error. When drivers talk or text on cell phones, change radios, eat, or drive impaired, they place the lives of thousands of others sharing the road at risk. Although there are various steps we can take to ensure we are mindful of others sharing the road, we cannot predict how other motorists will act. Truck accidents in particular have a life-altering impact on those involved.

Truck accidents throughout the state of Texas leave thousands of people with debilitating injuries. Given the size and weight of these vehicles, victims involved in accidents with them are at an increased risk of being left permanently disabled by their injuries.
