Commercial truck wrecks, especially those caused by 18-wheelers, occur each and every day resulting in hundreds of fatal crashes and thousands of serious personal injuries. Companies who implement the use of 18-wheelers and drivers of other large commercial trucks carry substantial insurance policies to ensure damages can be paid when company drivers are involved in an accident. If you’ve been injured in an accident caused by the negligence of a 18-wheeler operator, you need an experienced Dallas truck wreck attorney on your side. You need the Law Office of Brian Brunson.
18-wheeler wrecks occur on a regular basis. Due to the sheer number of big rigs on the roads, in addition to their size, speed, and load weights, when an accident occurs involving a semi-truck, the results are usually catastrophic. Many types of commercial truck accidents can occur, some of which include:
Commercial truck drivers often operate their vehicles for many hours on end. This can lead to driver fatigue, which is the most common cause of 18 wheeler accidents. Texas law permits truckers to operate their vehicles for 12-15 hours straight, before taking a mandatory 8 hour break. If you’ve ever driven your car for 12 hours straight, then you understand how physically and mentally exhausting that can become.
In addition to driver fatigue, there are other factors that can lead to an 18-wheeler wreck. Some of these include:
Drivers of commercial vehicles, although often highly trained, can drive recklessly, follow unsafe regulations, or be unreasonably drowsy. If you were not at fault in an accident with a semi-truck, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident, there may be one or more parties liable.
