18 Wheeler Crash
CALL US NOW
When a truck collides with a passenger truck in Texas, disaster follows. It is among the deadliest types of auto accidents in the United States. The reason is simple: the sheer size of the truck (and its potential contents) versus a passenger vehicle. The average truck with a fully loaded trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds while the average passenger vehicle’s weight ranges between 4,000 to 5,000 pounds. If you or someone you love has been injured or killed in a truck accident, receiving fair and just compensation may be your only recourse for physical, mental, and emotional recovery.
Accidents involving 18-wheelers or commercial trucks are different from accidents involving only passenger vehicles. There’s a lot more involved. The truck driver isn’t the only one who may be liable. There are federal regulations to consider alongside state laws. The mechanics involved in the truck, too, are quite different and may be relevant, making truck accident cases more complex.
The problem is this: an insurance company may not settle for what’s fair. You may need to file a personal injury claim. At The Law Office of Orlando Zambrano, our 18 wheeler crash lawyer in Texas can help you file a strong, well-documented claim while advocating your rights and representing your best interests. Contact us today either online or at 832-422-9399 to schedule a FREE CONSULTATION.
Not all truck accidents are caused by the truck driver or an issue with the truck. Other causes may include environmental conditions, poor road design, or another driver's error. In the end, there may be several causes that lead up to the accident, which again makes these cases more complex than other types of auto accidents.
