Dallas-Fort Worth Trucking Accident Lawyer

A collision with a large commercial truck such as an eighteen wheeler or a large freight carrier can result in devastating injuries. Typically, fully loaded large commercial trucks can weigh 80,000 pounds or more, while an average passenger automobile weighs approximately 3000 pounds. Due to the basic laws of physics, any collision between a commercial truck and other vehicle is likely to result in serious, even fatal, injuries.

Trucks are regulated by Federal and State governments in an effort to promote safety. These rules dictate such things as what a truck may carry and the hours a driver may operate the truck.

If there has been an accident involving a truck, it is necessary to gather and save evidence at the accident scene, as well as, investigate the trucking company's policies, procedures and the driving logs of the driver involved. Many times the accident is not the result of driver error, but is the result of the company's failure to properly maintain and service the vehicle.
