The most frequent causes of Texas truck wrecks include the following.
Truck driver fatigue.
Truck driver’s medical conditions.
Distracted driving.
Drunken driving.
Aggressive driving.
A common thread that links these varying causes of Texas truck wrecks together is the driver’s negligence. Pressures to make more deliveries in less time make these truck drivers take to the road when they shouldn’t be behind the wheel. And even perfectly fit and non-fatigued drivers who take their attention from the road for just a moment, for instance to answer a work-related call, risk a serious accident from their distraction.
Texas truck wrecks can severely injure, maim, or even kill innocent victims that happen to share the road with the massive 18-wheelers. And the innocent victims of Texas truck wrecks get stuck paying for the serious consequences of negligent truck drivers‘ irresponsible behaviors.
When you or your loved ones have been injured by a Texas truck wreck and you’ve been stuck with paying the consequences of a truck driver’s misdeed, you could be eligible to receive financial compensation for your damages. The monetary damages from your personal injury or wrongful death claim could pay for your pain, suffering, emotional trauma, and mental distress from the accident as well as for more tangible things like your medical expenses and lost wages.
But the insurance companies that insure the massive 18-wheelers are traditionally reluctant to part with more money than they absolutely have to in order to pay your claim. You could face dirty tricks and underhanded tactics as they try and get you to settle your claim in an amount far less than you deserve. The insurance companies and the trucking companies might also use intimidation tactics to try and get you to abandon your claim altogether.
