You’re driving on the highway in less-than-ideal conditions with a large number of 18-wheelers on the road with you. It’s windy and near dusk. As each truck barrels past you, your car shutters and your grip tightens on the steering wheel in an effort to keep control of your car.
You’re sure they must be speeding – and you can hear the wind beating against the trucks’ trailers as they pass. Finally, a tractor-trailer approaches you rapidly from behind and swerves dangerously into the left lane to pass you.
One more gust of wind, and you see the truck’s second trailer tip and drift into your lane. Then everything goes black.
You’ve just been involved in a 18 wheeler accident. And even though it wasn’t you’re fault, you are now faced with hospital bills and a totaled car. You might not have a way to get to work, or worse, you might not be well enough to go to work. Your life has changed in a moment – a white-knuckled moment that you mind flashes to most nights as you’re falling asleep. Send Us a Message
You are not alone. According to the United States Department of Transportation a staggering 350,000 large trucks were involved in accidents in 2006, with almost 5,000 of those crashes resulting in fatalities. On top of that, Texas has the highest number of truck-related fatal crashes – 446 in 2006 – and tallies almost 10% of trucking accidents across the country. A full one in ten fatal vehicle accidents in Texas involve a large truck.
While you might know that your 18 wheeler accident injury was caused due to someone else’s negligence, and while you might know that you should talk to a 18 wheeler accident lawyer to help you receive the compensation and justice you deserve, you might not know that certain law firms specialize in 18-wheeler and large truck law suits and claims.

In truth, the frightening 18 wheeler accident statistics are not very surprising when you know more about large trucks and the trucking industry. Large trucks are bigger and heavier than non-commercial vehicles and can easily cause serious injury even in everyday accidents. Not only that, but truck drivers are also often transporting goods under tight deadlines – meaning that they could very well be speeding, sleep-deprived, stressed, or distracted while driving.
Trucks also suffer from large blind spots and difficult vehicle handling, making it more dangerous for them to switch lanes or drive in poor conditions or on narrow roads. On top of that, trucks can be overloaded past legal weight limits or filled with hazardous materials that could make a bad accident much, much worse.
And these are just the large truck-specific reasons that could have caused your personal injury – trucks and truck drivers can also cause accidents for the common reasons that everyday drivers are sometimes guilty of: reckless driving, speeding, drunk driving, or mechanical faults.
Everyone agrees, from the government to the trucking companies, that the trucking industry is inherently flawed. Even though major steps have been taken to improve safety on the roads for everyone, truck drivers are unsupervised by trade. Long hours and exhausting routes continue to cause a plethora of preventable accidents and injuries on the road each year – accidents that can affect you personally. Send Us a Message
According to allbusiness.com, a study on accident claims found that more than 35,000 claims were filed in the last three years in relation to tractor-trails, with a cumulative layout of $280 million dollars. The same study reported that less than 30 percent of these accidents were due to factors outside of the driver’s control, such as weather, road conditions, or mechanical failures.
Don’t put your chances of seeing results at risk – consult with a 18 wheeler accident law firm that has specialized expertise in this specific category of personal injury claims. Insurance companies thrive on knowing the loopholes and small details of cases like these. Make sure that the 18 wheeler accident attorneys you choose to represent your case have just as much inside information and experience with these specific incidents as they do.

What to Do If You Are in a Truck Accident
Whether you are the driver of the truck or the driver or passenger of another vehicle, it is very important to know what to do at the scene of a truck accident and afterwards as you begin your recovery.
