The Dangers of Truck and Semi-Truck Collisions in Texas
Due to their size and weight, crashes involving trucks and semi-trucks can be particularly hazardous. Highways like IH-35, which see a significant volume of commercial traffic, are common locations for such accidents. Factors such as driver fatigue, mechanical failures, and abrupt lane changes can all contribute to serious collisions involving large trucks.
In accidents where extrication is necessary, victims often suffer from significant injuries, including fractures, head trauma, or internal injuries. These crashes can result in prolonged hospital stays and extensive medical treatment. Additionally, traffic disruptions following such accidents can create further hazards for other drivers navigating detours and congestion.
For individuals involved in truck-related crashes, seeking medical attention and documenting the accident scene are critical steps in the recovery process. Understanding legal options can also help victims manage medical costs, lost wages, and vehicle damages.
