Although an essential part of our economy, semi-trucks cause a shocking number of crashes and deaths every year. In Texas, big trucks contributed to at least 589 deaths in 2018—a number that’s far too high.

Semi-trucks are some of the most dangerous vehicles on the road because of their size and weight. Fully loaded, a tractor-trailer can weigh up to 30 times the average family car. When they collide with another vehicle, the forces are massive and potentially life-threatening.

There’s also a lot that can go wrong and cause a crash. Some common causes of truck wrecks include:

• Speeding or driving too fast for the conditions 
• Unsafe maneuvers and lane changes 
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol 
• Overloaded or improperly loaded trailers 
• Driver fatigue or drowsy driving 
• Poor weather conditions or bad roads 
• Defective or poorly maintained trucks and truck parts 

Other times, the trucking companies are to blame. Trucking companies have one goal: to make money. This can lead irresponsible companies to cut corners when it comes to safety. These shortcuts can cause crashes or make them worse. Common misconduct includes:

• Incomplete or sloppy repairs 
• Inadequate maintenance 
• Insufficient training for drivers 
• Negligent hiring  
• Pressuring drivers to drive extra hours or skip mandatory rest breaks 
• Overloading trucks  

These reckless decisions contribute to truck crashes every year, but it shouldn’t be this way. Negligent trucking companies and reckless drivers should be held accountable when their actions cause someone else harm.

But trucking companies are also notorious for hiding evidence that could help crash victims. That’s why it’s so important to work with an experienced Texas truck crash lawyer after you’ve been in a wreck. We know how to investigate big companies’ wrongdoing, hold them accountable, and offer injured people the support they need.

Trucking accidents aren’t like car crashes. In addition to the truck’s size, these cases often involve multiple parties. It takes a skilled attorney to investigate trucking accidents, identify who was at fault, and take the necessary steps to hold them accountable.

This process poses many challenges: 

• The trucking industry must follow both Texas and federal laws. Your attorney will have to sift through multiple rules, regulations, and the company’s logbooks to uncover the truth. 
• Evidence can disappear quickly. Skid marks on the road, electronic logs, surveillance footage, and damaged vehicles can disappear unless you take the proper legal steps to preserve them. 
• Big trucking companies have aggressive legal teams. When a crash happens, they are ready to defend themselves and will try to escape the consequences of their actions. 
• You might have multiple legal claims. Your lawyer can identify all of the at-fault parties, including the driver, their employer, the company that loaded the trailer, and manufacturers that made defective parts. When there’s more than one cause of your crash, only the most highly skilled and experienced attorney can uncover every possible cause and hold the negligent accountable. 
• You have to consider a lifetime of damages. The insurance company might try to undervalue your injuries. If you need long-term care, you must calculate these costs into your case’s settlement value. Otherwise, you might be left empty-handed in the future. 

To get a fair outcome, injured people and their families need an attorney who knows the ins and outs of the trucking industry and how to hold those responsible accountable. 

At Will Adams Law Firm, we are no stranger to complex trucking cases. We have the experience and skills necessary to help the injured get their lives back on track. Our team will fight to make sure that the people or companies involved take responsibility for their actions.

We treat every client with dignity, empathy, and respect, and fight hard to ensure they get a fair outcome and the compensation they deserve.
