Dallas Truck Accident Lawyer, Dallas Truck Accident Attorneys

Texas Truck Accident Lawyer Kris Barber represents truck accident victims, their families and friends who have suffered a death in the family or sustained serious bodily injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages and medical bills because of the carelessness or negligence of a truck or tractor trailer driver.

• Large commercial truck accidents kill and injure over 150,000 Americans per year. If you're hurt in a rollover, jack-knife, rear-end collision or other accident with a "semi" tractor-trailer, a Texas truck accident lawyer can help.
  
• Over 250,000 dangerous large truck accidents occur each year in the U.S. While large trucks comprise just 3% of the vehicles on the road, they are involved in over 25% of all passenger vehicle occupant deaths in multiple-vehicle crashes.
  
• Yet, car occupants are not the only people with high risk factors for death or serious injury in large truck crashes. Over 700 truck drivers also die each year when they get behind the wheel.
  

Heavier Trucks More Dangerous

There is a dramatic increase in truck crash fatality rates with each extra ton of truck and cargo weight:

• Trucks weighing 80,000 pounds are more than twice as likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a truck weighing 50,000 pounds.
• A 100,000-pound truck travels 25% further after the driver steps on the brakes than will an 80,000-pound vehicle. And a 120,000-pound truck travels 50% further than an 80,000-pound vehicle.
• Heavier trucks have increased brake temperatures when traveling downhill. This may lead to total brake failure and runaway crashes.
• Heavier trucks have a higher center of gravity, and are more likely to roll over.

Very High Risk of Death or Injury In Trucking Accidents

Large truck accidents kill and injure over 150,000 Americans each year. If you're hurt in a rollover, jack-knife, rear-end collision or other accident with a "semi" tractor-trailer, an experienced personal injury lawyer may be able to help.

The risks to occupants of passenger cars in truck accidents are so great, nearly 78% of the people killed and 84% of the people seriously injured in 2-vehicle crashes involving a passenger vehicle and a large truck are occupants of the passenger vehicle.
