Aggressive Representation for Speeding-Related Accidents in Dallas

Truck accidents caused by speeding can be devastating for those involved and their families. Since 18-wheelers, big rigs, and commercial trucks are so much larger and heavier than most other vehicles on the roads, truck drivers will need to take extra care to operate their vehicles safely and avoid collisions. When truck drivers exceed speed limits, they will be much more likely to lose control and collide with other vehicles. If you or someone you love has been injured in a truck wreck, it is important to seek legal help from an experienced truck accident attorney.

Legal Help in Truck Wrecks Involving Speeding or Traffic Violations

Speeding truck drivers pose a serious danger to other motorists on the road. Due to the size and weight of commercial trucks, more time and distance are needed to slow down, especially when a vehicle is traveling at high speeds. Speeding may affect a truck driver’s ability to react to traffic, and they will become more likely to lose control of their vehicle. Drivers who travel at excessive speeds may also fail to notice traffic signs or signals, resulting in collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians.

Truck accidents that may be caused by speeding include:

Rear-end accidents – When a truck driver is exceeding the speed limit or driving at unsafe speeds around other vehicles, they may be unable to respond in time to avoid striking other vehicles from the rear. If traffic on a highway slows down suddenly, or if vehicles slow down to make turns, a truck driver may not have enough time to react correctly and avoid a collision. In heavy traffic, a rear-end collision by a commercial truck may cause a chain reaction, and people in multiple vehicles may suffer injuries.
T-bone collisions – If a truck driver is exceeding the speed limit, they may be unable to stop in time when a traffic light changes, or they may fail to notice stop signs or see vehicles that are crossing intersections or making left turns. This may cause a truck to strike another vehicle from the side. These accidents can be devastating for the occupants of other vehicles, especially when a truck is traveling at a high speed at the time of a collision. Drivers or passengers may suffer catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, or amputations.
Rollover accidents – Exceeding the speed limit will make it more difficult for a truck driver to negotiate curves in the road or tight corners. This may cause them to lose control, and a truck may roll over. These accidents can be very dangerous, since a truck or its trailer may land on and crush other vehicles, or an overturned truck may block the road and create dangerous obstacles. In some cases, these accidents result in multi-vehicle pileups, and drivers and passengers in several different cars or trucks may suffer serious injuries.
