Big Rig Accidents in Texas
Studies show that every year at least 2,000 people sustain injuries after being involved in 18-wheeler accidents in Texas. Usually, the occupants in passenger vehicles sustain more serious injuries than the occupants inside of 18-wheeler trucks. Often times, these accidents are caused by negligence just like most other accidents. However, truck drivers are required to follow strict federal regulations that are supposed to decrease their chances of causing accidents.
