HOUSTON, TX, February 20, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Injuries caused by an 18 wheeler accident are typically catastrophic or life ending due to the size and weight of tractor trailer trucks. Unfortunately, statistics show that these semi truck accidents are on the rise in Texas. When you are injured in a catastrophic big rig accident, you have a limited amount of time to take action and preserve your case. It's important to contact an experienced attorney right away. As time goes on, critical evidence disappears, so time is of the essence. Your accident attorney will need that evidence collected immediately following the accident to hold negligent truck drivers and companies accountable for the injuries and fatalities they are responsible for.
Accidents involving 18-wheeler trucks are among the most deadly of accidents, accounting for more than 10 percent of all traffic deaths. This is due to the large size of these vehicles, as well as the inattention of drivers who are often required to work long hours with little or no sleep. Statistics from the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) show that large commercial trucks, also known as 18-wheelers, semi trucks, and tractor-trailers, are responsible for 12 percent of all traffic fatalities, even though they are only 3 percent of all registered vehicles.
