There is a wide range of factors that contribute to trucking accidents. Many are based on a truck driver’s negligence. When the truck operator is careless, they are more likely to perform dangerous maneuvers that cause crashes. However, a trucker is not always responsible. Other issues such as improper loading, lack of maintenance, and vehicle defects can lead to crashes.
Some of the most common causes of semi-truck accidents in Texas include:
After being hurt in a truck accident, you may not know what went wrong. You were not in the trucker’s cab, so you do not know what the trucker did. Also, the truck driver may have done everything right despite the circumstances.

We are here to conduct an in-depth investigation into the semi-truck accident, so we can find out who is liable. In many cases, the truck driver was negligent. If they are employed by a trucking company, then ultimately this business may be liable. It could also be that another business, such as a maintenance provider, did something wrong.
Depending on the circumstances, the party responsible for your injuries may be the:
When you are injured in a truck accident, you need to work with an attorney who has specific experience in commercial vehicle crashes. There are major differences between car accidents and truck accidents. The latter typically leads to a greater amount of property damage and significant bodily injuries. These result in more substantial settlements and jury verdicts.
Another important difference between car and truck crashes is federal trucking regulations. Commercial motor carriers, truck drivers, and trucks are heavily regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
The FMCSA regulates:
These are only a handful of the rules truckers, and their employers must adhere to. When our truck accident attorneys investigate the crash that caused you harm, we will look through every piece of evidence to determine if a federal regulation has been violated. This could be evidence we use during your case to establish liability and fight for you to receive compensation.
When you are trying to obtain compensation after a trucking accident, the motor carrier’s insurance company will be involved. You should not speak with the insurance adjuster without legal representation.
This can lead to many insurance issues that may result in your claim being denied or your settlement reduced. Frequent insurance issues include:
Skilled negotiations also are useful in ensuring the final settlement amount is more than an insurer’s first low-ball offer.
