Trucking is the most popular method of moving freight in the United States. It is estimated that several billion tons of freight move through the highway systems every year. In Texas alone, we see some of the highest volume of 18-wheeler traffic, with cities along the Mexican border accounting for millions of freight crossings per year and billions of dollars in goods shipped between the US and Mexico. This substantial volume in 18 wheeler and tractor-trailer traffic comes with some dangerous realities-accidents born of negligence.

Common Causes of Trucking Accidents

Locke Law Firm handles cases that involve accidents with large trucks and 18-wheelers caused by negligence resulting from:

• Inexperienced and poorly trained drivers
• Poorly maintained equipment
• Tire blowout

18-wheeler accidents present unique issues not necessarily associated with a typical motor vehicle accident, such as a greater likelihood of serious injury and death, negligent hiring and supervision of 18-wheeler drivers, poor truck maintenance, unique insurance coverage issues, and governmental regulations.

Aggressive Defense for Trucking Accident Victims
