Last year, almost a thousand Texans were killed in crashes involving semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles.
Commercial vehicles are larger than passenger cars. That means that when the two are involved in an accident, the passenger vehicle is likely to come out a lot worse than the truck.
The consequences of an accident involving a commercial vehicle can be devastating. Serious injury, massive property damage, and death are common.
If you were injured in an accident, you might be able to file a personal injury claim to get compensation for your injuries and the damage done to your vehicle.
