Chief among these is driver error, frequently caused by fatigue resulting from extended periods on the road. This fatigue leads to decreased alertness and slower reaction times. Moreover, distractions like cell phone usage, navigating systems, or eating while driving can further diminish a trucker&#8217;s focus. Additionally, inadequate vehicle maintenance is a significant factor. Neglecting crucial components such as brakes, tires, or other vital parts increases the risk of mechanical failures.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t     \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-5\" data-aos=\"fade-left\" data-aos-offset=\"300\" data-aos-easing=\"ease-in-sine\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/burwellnebout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2149426542-1.jpg\" alt=\"What Causes Most Truck Accidents in Texas\" class=\"img\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n                            <div class=\"col-12\">\n                              <p>There are myriad causes of 18-wheeler accidents, but those that involve negligence commonly include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list\">\n<li>Truck driver fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Truck driver error<\/li>\n<li>Violations of Hours-of-Service (HOS) rules<\/li>\n<li>Excessive speed<\/li>\n<li>Failure to follow the rules of the road<\/li>\n<li>Failure to properly accommodate blind spots<\/li>\n<li>Brake failure or other mechanical failure<\/li>\n<li>Debris or articles on the road<\/li>\n<li>Tire failure or separation<\/li>\n<li>Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol<\/li>\n<li>Unsecured cargo or freight shifting in the payload section<\/li>\n<li>Unsafe driving practices<\/li>\n<li>Inadequate safety inspections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Discover the main reasons behind 18-wheeler accidents &#8211; driver fatigue and truck defects.

Rollovers are often caused by tire blowouts, cargo overloading, or improper cargo storage.<\/li>\n<li>Jackknife Crashes\u2014If a driver slams on the brakes or otherwise loses control of the trailer, its back end may swing around.\u00a0 Therefore, forming a 90-degree angle known as a jackknife. This can cause serious damage to the truck itself and serious injury or death to drivers and passengers in oncoming traffic.<\/li>\n<li>Trailer Detachment\u2014When a malfunctioning faulty hitch unexpectedly releases the trailer while the truck is in motion, collisions can be impossible to avoid.<\/li>\n<li>Drive Under\/ Under Ride Accidents \u2014Among the most fatal accidents involving large trucks, under-ride truck crashes occur.\u00a0 This is when a smaller vehicle slides under the truck during a rear-end or T-bone collision.<\/li>\n<li>Wide Turn Accidents\u2014Due to their sheer weight and size, tractor-trailers need to swing out wide when turning. Smaller vehicles can easily get sideswiped or squeezed between the truck and guardrail\/highway embankment.<\/li>\n<li>Falling cargo\u2014When overloaded or improperly secured, freight breaks free and falls out of the truck\u2019s trailer, serious injury and death may occur.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cases involving 18-wheeler accidents are highly intricate and vigorously defended due to the substantial costs involved.

Reach out to us today for a complimentary consultation.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most common injuries we see include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list\">\n<li><strong>Spinal cord injuries can<\/strong> range from neck and back injuries to crushed vertebrae.\u00a0 As a result, causing damage to this vital nervous system network. Partial or complete paralysis can result from injuries to the spinal cord. Because this damage cannot be repaired, the resulting paralysis is permanent and may become progressively worse over time. Many patients with spinal cord trauma require specialized nursing care for the rest of their lives.<\/li>\n<li>For accident victims lucky enough to escape direct spinal cord injury, the forces typically present in a collision with an 18-wheeler can cause chronic back pain.\u00a0 As a result, this may cause a <strong>misaligned vertebrae,<\/strong>\u00a0trauma to the lower back, and fractured\u00a0<strong>bones throughout<\/strong>\u00a0the spinal column.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pelvic bone injuries are<\/strong> also common in all types of motor vehicle accidents due to the intense pressure on this area.\u00a0 This is caused by seat belts, airbags, and other restraint devices.<\/li>\n<li>The weight and forward momentum of 18-wheeler trucks during an accident increases the likelihood that the 18-wheeler victim will require emergency amputation services upon arrival at the hospital. In some cases, accident victims may suffer loss of limbs or crushed bones at the scene of the car crash.\u00a0 This is due to severe impact trauma. Immediate medical care is required in these situations to prevent death due to blood loss.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Damage to the lungs and heart can<\/strong>\u00a0result from\u00a0<strong>broken ribs<\/strong>\u00a0and the crushing weight of 18-wheeler trucks that can come to rest atop passenger vehicles. Surgery is usually required to repair the damage to the heart muscle and to restore proper function to injured lungs. However, the scar\u00a0<strong>tissue<\/strong> that develops as these organs heal can result in permanent reductions in the lung capacity of accident victims.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Head injuries caused<\/strong> by 18-wheeler accidents are usually quite severe and may involve fractures of the skull.\u00a0 In addition, swelling of the tissues and connective membranes surrounding the brain due to severe impact at the time of the collision. Individuals affected by these injuries often experience memory <strong>loss<\/strong>, a decline\u00a0<strong>in cognitive function, and,<\/strong>\u00a0in some cases,\u00a0<strong>loss of speech and language skills.<\/strong>\u00a0Damage to the optic nerves or brain can also cause blindness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Injuries to the abdomen may<\/strong>\u00a0require emergency sectioning of the small or large colon or reconstruction of the stomach to allow the digestive system to regain function. Many 18-wheeler victims who undergo these procedures experience lifelong difficulties that may reduce their ability to absorb nutrients and can restrict their food choices significantly.<\/li>\n<li>The damage\u00a0<strong>caused to internal organs in<\/strong>\u00a0a crash involving an 18-wheeler truck can be catastrophic and may require multiple surgeries to repair. Some patients may require transplants or medical treatment to replace the function of the liver or kidneys after an 18-wheeler accident.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Internal bleeding is<\/strong>\u00a0also common due to the severe trauma caused by the impact.

Out of these incidents, an estimated 130,000 individuals sustain injuries each year, with 5,000 resulting in fatalities. Notably, in about 98 percent of fatal truck accidents, it&#8217;s the driver or occupants of the passenger vehicle who succumb, rather than the 18-wheeler driver.<\/p>\n<p>In Friendswood and its neighboring regions, these statistics remain alarming. Texas experiences a notable share of yearly injuries and fatalities stemming from 18-wheeler accidents, with the Greater Houston area recording particularly high injury rates.<\/p>\n<p>Statewide, approximately 300 fatal 18-wheeler accidents occur annually, accompanied by over 2,000 associated injuries in any given year. This translates to roughly one injury for every seven accidents and one fatality for every 50 accidents.<\/p>\n                    \n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t class=\"bc-block \">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\n        \n\n<div class=\"bg inner-page\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/burwellnebout.com\/wp-content\/themes\/skelatan\/images\/svg\/bg-gradient.png);\">\n   \n       \n            \n        <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"contributes px-2\" style=\"background: #fff;\" data-aos=\"fade-up\" data-aos-offset=\"300\" data-aos-easing=\"ease-in-sine\">\n            <div class=\"white-bg\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/burwellnebout.com\/wp-content\/themes\/skelatan\/images\/svg\/contribute.png\" alt=\"\">\n                <\/div>\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                <div class=\"col-md-9 mx-auto text-center\">\n                    <p>Accidents involving 18-wheelers and passenger vehicles often result in severe injuries or fatalities.
