18-Wheeler Accident Injury

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in an accident with an 18 wheeler, or any type of auto accident, contact an experienced Houston trucking accident attorney to find out what rights or remedies you may have.

Commercial vehicles, including 18-wheelers, are typically subject to additional state and federal regulations regarding how long the drivers may work each day, or week. These regulations are what need to be followed during recruiting for a trucking firm. These laws also require companies to conduct driver background checks and take steps to ensure the drivers can competently operate heavy commercial equipment. Often times, the company will keep data recorders on board its vehicles in order to monitor things like hours-of-service, or even to find out whether a driver is speeding in company equipment.

Driver fatigue or inattention, or a company’s failure to maintain safe equipment, can often lead to tragic accidents. It has been reported that nearly 1 in 8 auto-accidents involve a commercial vehicle or 18-wheeler.
