Harris County Truck Accident Injury Attorney

truck driver negligenceDue to their size, power and force, 18-wheeler accidents can easily cause catastrophic injuries and sometimes death. 18-wheeler drivers have to undergo extensive training and obtain a special commercial driver’s license.

Protecting Texas Truck Accident Victims

Driving a truck is a full-time job for a reason. Truckers have a responsibility to drive safely, but too often they put other priorities first. With strict deadlines and bonuses for making deliveries under time, drivers are prone to push themselves beyond their own limit and put other people on the roadway at risk. Common forms of truck driver negligence include:

  • Excessive speeding
  • Driver fatigue
  • Lane drift
  • Improperly pulled off onto shoulder of road
  • Drinking and driving
  • Tailgating
  • Wide-angled turns

Driver neglect is not the only potential cause of a tractor-trailer accident. Conducting a full investigation, I will look into all other potential 18-wheeler accidents causes such as improper maintenance.
