Trucking Accidents

The Houston metropolitan area is one of the highest volume commercial traffic areas anywhere in the United States. With such high traffic density, accidents are frequent and often devastating for those involved. When a commercial vehicle causes an accident, the sheer weight and force can result in life-threatening injuries, if not fatalities. Although companies are required to follow statutory laws to help ensure the safety of their drivers on the roads, many drivers continue to push the limits by driving without sufficient rest or with an unsafe load.

How Do Truck Accidents Happen?

Because of the size and weight of 18-wheelers, the smallest malfunction or mistake could cause devastating accidents. For this reason, there are many potential causes of trucking accidents. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Overloaded trucks
  • Fatigued driving
  • Driving under the influence
  • Inexperienced drivers
  • Speeding
  • Improper passing
  • Failure to use signals
  • Faulty maintenance
  • Defective truck parts

Josh Bowlin represented me in a lawsuit - prior to his intervention, I was petrified and thought that the my world would come to an end... conversely, Josh calmly navigated through the details, gave me confidence along the way, and WON MY CASE! I have been an entrepreneur for decades, Josh and Cliff performed like masters during all aspects of my case. They are aggressive and know the law - these guys fear no lawyer... PERIOD! I would hire them again without hesitation.
