Who Caused Your 18-Wheeler Accident?
Hundreds of Texas drivers are killed every year as a result of 18-wheeler accidents, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. Across the nation, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has found that the number of motorists who die annually as a result of accidents with commercial vehicles regularly exceeds 3,000. And for every one who dies, many more spend days, weeks, or months in a hospital.
You may not realize it, but Texas, along with California and Florida, are the leading states for 18-wheeler accidents. It’s easy to understand why: these are states with large population centers, busy ports, important manufacturing businesses, and good roads. Profits run high for trucking businesses that run trucks through these states. However, these factors also drive up casualty figures, too.

Unfortunately, 18-wheelers and the trucking companies that manage them aren’t as safe as they could be. Commercial vehicles could have lower rollover thresholds. Trucking firms could route trucks on less populated, straighter roads. Management could adopt safer communications and driving systems. And, perhaps most importantly, companies that employ truck drivers could commit more resources to hiring, training, and managing safer drivers.
Tragically, in many cases, trucking concerns actively select profits over safety – and pass risk onto the driving public.
