Fatal Truck Accidents in Texas
Fatal truck crashes in Texas often lead to heartbreaking losses for victims and their families. With thousands of large trucks moving across city streets and highways daily, a single mistake can cause catastrophic results. The size and weight of a truck make it harder to stop, especially in residential areas or during heavy traffic.
Many fatal truck crashes occur when drivers lose control due to fatigue, mechanical failure, or poor road conditions. Heavy trucks require longer stopping distances, which increases the risk of deadly collisions in emergencies. Bad weather, low visibility, and worn-out brakes or tires can also play a major role in these tragedies.
The sudden loss of a loved one in a truck accident changes everything. Families experience deep emotional pain, financial hardship, and lasting trauma. Beyond the immediate costs of medical care and funerals, the absence of companionship and stability can leave lasting emotional scars.
Under Texas law, surviving relatives can pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Costs of emergency treatment before death.
- Funeral and Burial Costs: Expenses for final arrangements and services.
- Lost Income: Wages and future financial support lost due to the death.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for emotional anguish and loss of companionship.
