Dangers of 18-Wheeler Accidents in Texas
Texas highways see a significant number of large truck accidents each year due to the high volume of commercial traffic. Interstate 30, a major route for both commuters and freight transportation, frequently experiences congestion, increasing the risk of collisions involving 18-wheelers. When a crash occurs between a passenger vehicle and a large truck, the results can be severe due to the size and weight disparity.
Common causes of truck-related accidents include driver fatigue, improper lane changes, mechanical failures, and poor visibility. In busy metropolitan areas like Fort Worth, merging traffic and sudden stops can also lead to dangerous collisions, especially when large commercial vehicles are involved.
Victims of truck accidents often face lengthy recoveries, mounting medical expenses, and challenges with insurance claims. Understanding one’s legal rights and seeking appropriate medical and legal assistance can be crucial after such an accident.
