Wheeler Accidents

18-wheeler and charter
bus
accidents can cause tremendous damage. When an accident
involves an 18-wheeler, bus, dump truck, emergency vehicle or other
large truck, there is usually significant property damage and serious
injuries or even death.
Many factors contribute to
accidents involving 18-wheelers, including overloaded freight, driver
fatigue, speed, or substance abuse. Trucking companies frequently
dispatch tractor-trailers on tight schedules that cause the truck
drivers to operate their trucks for unreasonably long periods of time
at high rates of speed. This only increases their danger to ordinary
drivers like you. Should you be forced to deal with an 18-wheeler
accident, you may need Houston 18 Wheeler Accident Attorneys.

their drivers have a specialized set of rules and regulations they must
