Truck Accident Injury

Truck accidents may lead to catastrophic injuries

Truck accidents often lead to catastrophic injury to the occupants of passenger cars. The size of the big rigs, which typically can be 30 times larger than a passenger vehicle, means significant forces will be involved in the truck crash. The violent force of a semi truck accident can lead to permanent injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury or fatal injuries that may be a precursor to a wrongful death lawsuit.

If you or a loved one was injured, or a loved one was killed in a trucking accident, contact an experienced truck accident injury lawyer in Texas to learn about your rights. Truck wrecks can lead to complicated personal injury cases involving severe injuries and the potential for multiple parties being held liable. With so much at stake, you need a determined personal injury lawyer in Dallas/Fort Worth on your side. Attorney David Glenn is board certified in personal injury trial law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Call (817)424-5999 or reach us toll-free at 1-877-809-9699. Your consultation with the Glenn Law Firm is free and confidential.

Factors behind a tractor-trailer collision

There may be any number of reasons for a tractor-trailer collision. Whether your accident was caused by speeding, driver fatigue or some other form of truck driver negligence, a tough Texas truck accident injury lawyer can work hard to determine who is responsible and hold that individual or parties accountable. We may need to investigate the trucking company to find out if the driver's employer was negligent. For example, the company may not have conducted a proper background check of the employee's driving history.

Semi truck crashes occur more often than you might think. There were 380,000 large trucks involved in traffic accidents in the United States in 2008, according to truck accident statistics provided by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA). During that same year, 90,000 people sustained injuries in 18-wheeler accidents and more than 4,000 people were involved in fatal truck wrecks.

Trucking accidents may involve any of the following significant injuries (among other catastrophic injuries):

• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injury and paralysis
• Burn injury
• Amputation injury
• Broken bone and fractures

Truck accidents can involve large 18-wheelers, but also may involve other larger and small trucks, such as:

• Delivery vans
• Dump trucks
• Tanker trucks
