Commercial truck accidents can lead to severe injuries

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, we can see that 39,193 total commercial vehicle accidents were reported across the state during the latest year of data available. Out of these incidents, there were:

  • 613 fatalities
  • 1,471 suspected serious injuries
  • 4,733 non-incapacitating injuries

Large commercial trucks present significant dangers on the roadway. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds. The size and weight discrepancy between commercial trucks and other vehicles on the roadway means that these crashes often result in significant injuries or fatalities.
