Why Are Truck Accidents So Devastating?
Commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, making them significantly more dangerous in a crash. Common causes of truck accidents include:
- Driver fatigue (violating federal rest requirements)
- Overloaded or improperly loaded trucks
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Drunk or drug-impaired truck drivers
- Brake failure or mechanical defects
- Inexperienced or poorly trained drivers
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you’ve been injured in a truck accident in Terrell, TX, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
