The Texas economy relies heavily on truckers and other commercial drivers. We see these commercial trucks wherever we go.
Truckers are under an immense amount of pressure–to deliver their loads faster and to do so cost-effectively.
Unfortunately, this means that they sometimes operate their vehicles unsafely.
The consequences of an accident with a commercial truck can devastate victims and their families.

In an accident involving passenger vehicles, typically one or the other driver is at fault for that accident.
This isn’t the case for commercial trucking accidents.
When you get in an accident with a commercial vehicle, it’s possible that the person responsible for that accident isn’t even driving.
This makes it challenging for victims to figure out what to do next–or who is responsible for the accident.
Responsible parties can include
When you enlist Biggs & Greenslade to handle your commercial vehicle accident, we’ll start by helping you identify who is responsible for your accident.
Commercial vehicles don’t stop on a dime. If a driver lost control of their car because they were speeding for instance, they can be held financially liable for the accident.
Commercial trucks are wider than passenger vehicles. It’s easy for them to stray outside of a lane, and a lapse in concentration can cause a dangerous accident.
Commercial vehicles make wide turns. Most professional drivers understand and compensate for that, but occasionally they lose their concentration and cause an accident.
Laws prevent drivers from driving more than 12 hours a day or 70 hours in a week, but some choose to ignore those laws, which can cause accidents.
You can’t control how closely someone follows you. Most commercial drivers understand how dangerous following too close can be, but others choose to ignore that danger.
Even professional drivers aren’t immune to distraction, and some text and drive despite the danger it poses to the other drivers on the road.
When a commercial vehicle has a blowout, or there’s another mechanical failure, the vehicles around that truck may be in danger.
