18-WHEELER ACCIDENTS ATTORNEY IN HOUSTON, TX

As drivers, we all know that there are thousands of “big-rigs” on the roads of our nation every day. These commercial trucks travel at high speeds and literally weigh tons, which is a combination that can result in deadly results if truck drivers are negligent in their driving duties. In many cases, truck drivers drive long distances on little sleep when carrying their cargo. Drowsy driving is a common cause of these types of accidents, especially when that lack of rest is coupled with the fact that roads are crowded with all types of motor vehicles. In major cities and on interstate highways, 18-Wheelers drive right alongside cars and other passenger vehicles. The margin of error is very slim when these big-rigs are driven in proximity with other vehicles. A truck driver’s one moment of distraction, fatigue, or even intoxication can cause serious injury and damage to any vehicle traveling near it. We have all seen multi-car “pile-ups” on the news that were caused by an 18-Wheeler losing control and slamming into a car (or several cars). The damages and injuries that result from such a crash can be catastrophic.

Commercial truck drivers must complete specialized training AND earn a Commercial Driver’s License (“CDL”) to legally drive big-rigs on the open road. The driving skills and responsibilities of a CDL-holder MUST be held to a higher standard than that of an average driver. When a CDL-holder causes an accident as a result of an intentional act, negligence, or intoxication, he/she (and his/her employer and insurance company) need to be held accountable.
