DRIVER DISTRACTION Long-distance truckers face many challenges, including boredom, loneliness, navigation problems, and logging requirements. Unfortunately, they often cope with these challenges by multitasking behind the wheel. When a driver is in control of a 40-ton semitruck, they should be fully focused on driving. POORLY MAINTAINED TRUCKS Bad brakes and poor tires are the leading causes of vehicle failure accidents. When a driver fails to conduct mandatory inspections of their rig or trucking companies neglect maintenance, they send dangerous vehicles out on the roads. In these accidents, both the driver and the company are to blame. No matter what caused the accident that left you injured or a loved one dead, we will investigate to determine who is responsible.

Living in Texas, you share the road with plenty of commercial trucks. While there are many great and safe truck drivers, there are just as many truck drivers that are fatigued, impaired, or distracted, making them more susceptible to causing car crashes. If you are unfortunate enough to be the victim of one of these incidents, you will need an experienced Texas truck crash attorney. You will need the Button Law Firm. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, when a truck crash occurs, it is often caused by one of the following contributing factors. DRIVER FATIGUE Drivers are required by federal law to limit the number of hours they drive in one stretch. However, many drivers ignore these rules. When a fatigued driver is behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler, they are putting many lives at risk.
