Commentary
Few details have been made available regarding a cause of the accident or the status of the victims. With the rainy conditions, drivers need to take extra caution, especially heavy 18-wheelers. Because the accident resulted in injuries, a third party investigation should be used to determine how it happened, who was at fault, and then to develop strategies moving forward.
It is not difficult to imagine a scenario where an often stopping vehicle is struck by a truck that cannot stop as quickly as passenger vehicles. Then you compound the issue with wet roadways and an accident becomes imminent. To have a personal injury claim, most notably victims will be tasked with proving that the driver of the rig breached their duty of safe operation on the roadway. Again, this only discovered by allowing an investigation to work in close proximity with the police reports, which should determine fault.

What this blog is all about: As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of truck accident and commercial vehicle cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to truck accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.
