Commercial trucks in Texas can legally carry up to 40 tons (80,000 pounds) in cargo. That’s in addition to the considerable weight of the big rig itself. And truckers drive longer hours at faster speeds than ever before on our Texas highways. It’s simple economic pressure. The more goods they can move more quickly, the more money they make. But that simple economic equation threatens your safety on Texas highways.
Commercial truck wrecks on Texas highways might happen for a number of reasons.
Truck driver fatigue.
Poor road conditions.
Inclement weather.
Speeding.
Driver negligence.
Driver distraction.
Cargo spills or rollovers from unbalanced loads.
Defective tires.
Other equipment and mechanical defects.
DWI.
If you or your close family member have been injured in a truck wreck on the Texas highways and it was not your fault, you might be eligible to recover full financial compensation to cover your losses from the commercial truck wreck. The financial compensation you receive could help pay for your medical bills, future medical expenses because of the accident, pain and suffering, lost wages, physical therapy, and more.
But trucking companies and their insurers won’t just hand you the financial compensation you deserve because of your injuries. You’ll probably have to put up a strong front and fight for your rights to receive adequate compensation. The help of a savvy Pasadena truck accident attorney familiar with trucking and insurance company tricks could aid you enormously.
