Commercial Truck Accidents

Commercial truck drivers have a responsibility to drive carefully for the protection of the public. Semis and other large commercial trucks have the capacity to cause serious or fatal injuries if they are not properly operated.

Unfortunately, traffic accidents involving a large truck are all too common. Many of these accidents are the result of truck driver errors including:

  • Driver fatigue
  • Speeding
  • Improper loading
  • Improper lane changes
  • Driving too fast in adverse weather
  • Failure to keep a safe distance from other vehicles
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Talking on a cell phone while driving

Truck Drivers Must Obey Strict Laws and Regulations

Federal and state laws hold semi truck drivers and other commercial vehicle operators to a high standard of care. Truckers are expected to take adequate rest breaks, maintain a safe distance from other drivers, adequately inspect their lights and tires, safely load their trucks and take other precautions for the safety of the public.

At the South Texas Law Offices of Jerry J. Treviño , we hold negligent truckers responsible for the injuries they have caused. We seek maximum compensation on behalf of people who have been injured by a negligent truck driver.
