Truck Accident Attorneys in Dallas, Texas

Experienced Dallas Personal Injury Lawyers

Truck accidents are some of the most catastrophic forms of auto accidents that our firm handles. Because a commercial truck is so large and so heavy, in a collision the vehicle that sustains the most damage is typically the other vehicle involved – a sedan, motorcycle, SUV or small truck. Pedestrians and cyclists are at even greater risk of injury. According to 2007 truck accident statistics compiled by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), 75% of the fatalities and injuries sustained in trucking accidents were to the occupants of other vehicles. Truck drivers themselves made up only 15& of fatalities and 23% of injuries.
