Texas Semi-Truck & Trucking Accident Injury Lawyer

Trucking accidents can cause serious injuries, usually to the occupants of a much smaller passenger vehicle. When you are injured in an accident with a big rig, it is crucial that you contact an injury attorney right away to discuss your legal rights to compensation.

Commercial trucking companies and their insurance companies are notorious for offering very little to truck accident victims. Thousands of people are injured in trucking accidents every year, only to be offered far less than they deserve for their injuries.

Each Texas trucking accident lawyer at Williamson, Sears & Rusnak knows what you are entitled to and will fight to get you fair compensation.

Large Truck Accident Causes

Truck accidents happen every day, for a wide variety of reasons. Factors, or a deadly combination of them, can lead to serious injuries for innocent victims in a passenger vehicle. Big rigs are by definition, big, and can cause great damage to a smaller vehicle or the occupants inside. Stopping a large commercial vehicle in a short amount of time can be problematic, and brakes, tire or wheel related defects are common.

Common Causes for Semi-Truck Accidents can include (but are not limited to):

  • Overloaded trailers or trucks
  • Faulty or poorly maintained brakes
  • Adverse driving conditions (fog, snow, rain, or smoke)
  • Aggressive or reckless driving
  • Excessive speed
  • Lack of driver training
  • Over fatigued drivers
  • Unsafe or outdated safety systems, reflectors, lights, and other warning devices
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Failure to yield the right of way
