By Anderson, Cummings & Drawhorn, LLP on February 28, 2023

Truck Insurance Coverage
Even if you know the truck driver is to blame for the accident, truck insurance companies will do everything they can to provide as little compensation as possible.
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, bodily injury, property damage and environmental restoration must be covered in insurance policies. Depending on the freight being carried, truck insurance policies may cover between $750,000 to $5,000,000.
Some drivers may fail to have adequate insurance for the situation while others could have a lapse in coverage leaving them uninsured while they transport goods across the country.
Improperly Loaded Trucks
Failing to load a truck properly can lead to the shift of materials inside the truck or on the road. When a trucks cargo spills or shifts and an accident occurs, victims can be seriously injured in the wreck.
Highway Truck Crashes
As many trucks are routed through Texas on their way to other states or neighboring countries, truck accidents commonly occur on the highway. Worst of all, when such accidents happen they are often severe due to the size of those trucks and the high rate of speed vehicles are traveling at.
Serious Truck Accident Injuries
Injuries after a catastrophic truck accident can be life-threatening. Brain trauma, spinal cord injury and multiple broken bones can lead to extended hospital stays and months of recovery.
Causes of Semi-Trailer Accidents
Data on semi-trailer accidents often finds that the causes of big rig accidents typically include speeding, fatigued driving, distracted driving and improperly loaded cargo.
