Did you know that the average fully loaded big rig commercial truck can easily weigh as much as 80,000 pounds? In comparison, the average car on the road weighs roughly 3,000 pounds. This size and weight discrepancy alone is one of the main reasons why big rig trucks are so dangerous. When an accident occurs, the occupants in the passenger vehicle often sustain a majority of the injuries, many of which are severe and sometimes even life-threatening. Unfortunately, size is not the only reason why big rig trucks are so dangerous, however. Dangerous Cargo Can Cause Deadly Big Rig Commercial Truck Accidents Big rigs, tractor-trailers, and semi-trucks often carry cargo on long journeys across the country. Failure to adequately secure this cargo before shipping can cause the big rig to lose control on the road, or become unsteady in high winds or inclement weather. In addition to unsecured loads, the cargo they carry can be hazardous. Consider what happens when an hazardous waste truck collides on a freeway or a log truck jackknifes on the Interstate. Not only is the truck a dangerous object, but the cargo it contains can spill or fly off of the truck, leading to vehicle collisions and numerous injuries. Cutting Corners Can Be Disastr ous Trucking companies have a responsibility to ensure that their trucks and big rigs are safe and reliable while on the road. This means performing regularly scheduled maintenance and taking proper safety precautions. Unfortunately, unscrupulous trucking companies may cut corners when servicing their trucks. They may delay changing tires or headlights on their vehicles in an effort to reduce their expenses and increase their profits. They may even unhook the front brakes in order to force the truck driver to only rely on the back brakes. This is done to reduce the wear and tear on the front brakes, which in turn, saves money. Not All Truck Drivers Are Properly Trained Not all truck drivers are responsible and adequately trained to drive a dangerous semi-truck on the road. Trucking companies may fail to ensure that their truck drivers are properly trained and have a clean driving record. During busy times, they may rush to place a truck driver on the road before they’re ready. This inexperience can create dangerous and deadly situations. In an emergency, an inadequately trained truck driver may not know how to guide their vehicle to safety and make poor decisions. Blind Spots Are Deadly Semi-trucks have large blind spots on both sides and in the front and back of the truck. These blind spots make it difficult for large trucks to see other cars on the road nearby. As a result, big rigs may suddenly change lanes directly in front of or into another car. They may also back up into other vehicles or run over objects in the road. Blind spots can result in serious trucking accidents. To avoid this, truckers should always visually check their blind spots before changing lanes or backing up. Injured in a Trucking Accident? If you or someone you love has been injured in a big rig commercial truck accident, it is important to speak to an experience and skilled Texas trucking accident lawyer immediately. At David K. Wilson & Associates, our attorneys have the experience and the resources needed to tackle these large and complex cases. Contact Us today for a free initial consultation and review of your case.

The body content of your post goes here. To eDo you do a lot of walking in the Sherman, TX area? Do you enjoy walking to and from work, school, the store, the doctor’s office or the park? If so, you must do everything possible to protect yourself when being a pedestrian. If you don’t, you could put yourself in serious danger the next time you step foot on the sidewalk or the pavement. It can be difficult to recover completely from injuries suffered in a pedestrian accident, which is why you need to follow the five tips for safe pedestrian actions in today’s post. 1. Always Cross at Controlled Intersections Make it a habit to always cross at controlled intersections when walking around town. Do not jaywalk and do not cross at intersections where there is no stop sign or no traffic light. You are much safer when crossing at a controlled intersection. There is still the chance that a car could wind up hitting you but that chance is reduced at a controlled intersection. 2. Walk Close to Buildings Do your best to walk close to the buildings when on the sidewalk. Do not walk near the curb, near parked cars, or anywhere near the street unless you are crossing it. Walking near the buildings will help protect you from any vehicle that accidentally jumps the curb and heads for you. 3. Wear Bright-Colored Clothing Do you do a lot of working at night? It’s important to wear clothing that has bright colors so when vehicle headlights shine on you, or the streetlights shine on you, you will be seen by drivers. It’s difficult at night for drivers to spot pedestrians, don’t make it worse on yourself by wearing dark clothing while walking at night. 4. Avoid Using Your Phone While Walking Many people love to listen to music while walking. They also like to text, answer calls, send emails and browse social media. Don’t do any of this when walking around town. This will only wind up putting you in a bad situation. You might not notice you are at the intersection, causing you to walk right out into traffic. If you have headphones in your ears you might not hear sirens of an emergency vehicle or the horn of a car beeping at you. 5. Learn and Follow Traffic Laws You must learn and follow all of the traffic laws associated with being a pedestrian. This includes waiting to cross until the light is green, not assuming vehicles will stop for you, and avoiding jaywalking at all times. Make eye contact with the driver closest to you before stepping foot onto the street from the sidewalk. Injured in a Pedestrian Accident?

An airplane accident can result in devastating personal injury for those who survive this ordeal. But after the chaos is over and the publicity has died down, there are still victims who must obtain compensation for their life-altering injuries. What process will help the injured prove that a carrier’s negligence led to the incident? How can they prove the carrier is liable for their injuries? How To Prove An Air Carrier Is At Fault For Your Personal Injury Proving liability in a plane accident that results in injury can be very difficult. Various agencies including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) can get involved in this type of litigation and make things complicated. However, personal injury lawyers can employ several strategies to help prove that a carrier or aircraft manufacturer is liable for an accident. These strategies include: Negligence Liability – The main factors in proving negligence are showing that the carrier had a duty to protect passengers in the aircraft, and the carrier breached that duty, which directly caused the injuries suffered by passengers. For example, if an accident was due to pilot error, this could fall under the negligence liability standard. Product Liability ­– Under this standard, a personal injury lawyer must prove that the accident that caused the victim’s injuries was due to a defective part sold by a manufacturer. This standard typically applies in instances in which a mechanical problem with the aircraft caused the accident. Personal injury lawyers often use the theory of ‘strict liability’ to show that a product defect caused an airplane accident. Strict Liability — This legal standard only takes into account the party that directly contributed to the accident. So in airplane accident claims, proving that a third party other than the carrier was at fault can reduce the carrier’s liability. This means that the carrier’s liability would be limited by law in incidents such as lightning strikes or terrorist attacks. However, if the carriers breach their duty to passengers, this limitation may not apply.  Help For a Life-Changing Event If you’re lucky enough to survive an airplane accident, the personal injury you suffer may not just be physical. These incidents can leave lasting psychological scars, and if the airline carrier is not willing to admit fault, you could be in for an intense legal battle. The law firm of David K. Wilson & Associates has won millions of dollars in compensation for victims of airline accidents . We are not afraid to take on these big companies to obtain the compensation you deserve. We understand that injuries suffered in aviation accidents will impact the rest of your life. Please call us today at (903) 289-5557 to schedule a free consultation.

According to the Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT), over 2 million people sustain injuries in car crashes each year in the United States. Additionally, over 37,000 people die in crashes each year. If you sustain injuries in a car accident, there are several steps you should take. They include:  Put the safety of yourself and others first; Contact authorities; Gather information; Contact your insurance company; Document your medical care; Document your property loss; and finally, Contact an attorney experienced in handling car accident cases. Understanding Texas Law When You are in a Car Accident The State of Texas has laws governing the rules of the road. In any car accident, Texas expects drivers stop at the scene (or return to the scene if the vehicle didn’t stop immediately) and exchange information with the other driver (discussed in greater detail below). In cases where a person suffers injury, obviously, one must determine whether assistance is required. Put the Safety of Yourself and Others First After a crash, your safety and the safety of others must be your first concern. If it is possible, move the car out of the roadway. Take a moment to determine whether you need medical attention. If you are okay, check on your passengers and the occupants of the other car. Take the time to carefully assess the situation. If someone has back or neck injuries, or obvious broken bones, wait to move them until qualified medical professionals arrive at the scene. If there is any doubt about whether someone needs medical care, call an ambulance. You have a legal duty to render aid. This may include transporting someone to the hospital if you cannot summon an ambulance. Contact Authorities Texas law § 550.026 requires reporting accidents involving injury, death, or damage to vehicles to the local police or sheriff. Gather Information After a car crash, Texas § 550.023 requires the exchange of certain information. Talk to the other driver to exchange the following information: The name and address of the driver; The registration number of both vehicles; The name of the insurance company for any person injured, as well as the driver of each car; and Where possible, the drivers should show each other their driver’s license. In addition to this information which is required by statute, it is a good idea to get the names and contact information for any witnesses to the crash. Additionally, if you are not injured, or if your injuries do not require immediate medical attention, take the time to document the scene by taking pictures or a short video of the crash and the surrounding areas. Don’t forget to include any scene relevant information that may have contributed to the crash, such as wet pavement, or tree branches that obscure a stop sign. Contact Your Insurance Company Once you have addressed your medical needs, and the needs of others involved in the car accident, contact your insurance company. File whatever claim they require. Of course, fully cooperate with your insurance company’s requests. Document Your Medical Care Start a journal, documenting your medical care. Include doctor’s visits, pain medication taken, and steps taken to assist in healing. Document Your Property Loss Keep track of your property damage, property repair, and property losses. Contact an Attorney Experienced in Handling Car Accident Cases If you have been injured in a car accident , you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and loss. Don’t leave recovery to chance. Contact an attorney with a proven track record handling car accident cases. The lawyers at David K.

Commercial truck accidents are still a major problem on U.S. roads. Despite a projected decrease in the number of automobile-related fatalities in 2019, trucks were involved in more fatal accidents in 2019 . Lockdowns due to COVID-19 reduced traffic all over the country, and yet traffic fatalities have risen. Authorities believe this is because people are driving more recklessly on the empty roads. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also estimates that highway deaths could continue to rise as post-pandemic roadway use increases. To lower the rising number of truck accidents, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) passed a law that truck carriers must install electronic logging devices (ELDs) in all their trucks by December 2017. So what are ELDs, how to they work, and have they helped prevent truck accidents ? What Are ELDs and How Do They Work To Prevent Truck Accidents? ELDs are devices that synchronize with the engine of a commercial truck to record driving time and rest time so that drivers are compliant with the hours of service (HOS) regulations that govern how many hours they can drive before taking a break. In the past, many truck carriers relied on paper logs that their drivers would fill out on a daily basis, indicating their driving time and their rest time. The problem, however, was that some drivers falsified these paper logs. They would claim to be resting when they were actually driving on the road. This meant that some drivers were compromised by fatigue because they had not taken the required rest breaks, and fatigued truck drivers are among the leading causes of truck accidents. In addition to driving and rest time, ELDs also record date, time, location information, engine hours, vehicle miles, and contact information for the driver and carrier. ELDs cannot be falsified, and the information they record is transmitted to carriers who can better monitor their drivers. Some ELDs also send out alerts or notifications when a driver is nearing the HOS limits, indicating that they need to take a rest. This can influence trucker behavior, since many will know that they are being monitored. This can prevent incidents with aggressive truck drivers or drivers who are cutting corners because they know their employers and government officials are monitoring them. ELDs are designed to give carriers and drivers more transparency in how they handle the rest and driving periods during a delivery, and to help carriers correct driver mistakes that they observe on recorded video. By helping drivers adhere to rest rules, the goal is to eliminate driver fatigue as a major factor in truck accidents. Have ELDs Had an Effect on Truck Accidents? As stated above, fatal truck crashes have gone up between 2017 and 2018. However, looking at the data on the FMCSA’s website tells us that overall truck accident came down over the same time period. This suggests the ELD requirement is having and effect. However, despite a lowering of crash numbers, we still have an increase in fatal crashes. Other measures may be necessary to help prevent truck accident fatalities. New studies suggest that automatic braking and collision warning technology may be the next step. Sherman Truck Accident Attorney Helping You Recover Surviving a truck accident is minor miracle, and as you go through the recovery process, the last thing you want to worry about is your legal claim. But if you hire an experienced law firm such as the team at David K.
