Dangers of Bigger and Heavier Trucks in Texas

We all know that there are dangers we face every time we get behind the wheel and travel down the Houston roadways. However, some risks may be even bigger than we realize.

Take the dangers that double-trailer trucks pose to all Houston drivers, for example. Did you know that trucks pulling two or three trailers are 32% more likely to be involved in fatal crashes? These huge trucks are 200% more likely to be involved in highway crashes along interstate highways.

The problem is that these trucks are big, sometimes carrying heavy loads. Being involved in an Houston truck accident involving a large tractor-trailer can be serious and sometime prove fatal, especially in light of the fact that at least 10% to 20% of them are pulling loads that are illegally overweight.

A serious accident involving an overweight tractor-trailer can leave you with a permanent injury and a mountain of medical bills. How will you deal with these issues?

It is imperative that you seek legal advice immediately to determine if you have a case and if you can seek compensation. You owe it to yourself and your family.

If you or someone you know has been injured in a Houston tractor-trailer, you should contact Steve Lee, an experienced Houston truck accident attorney at (713) 921-4171 or (800) 232-3711.
