    Where Are the Most Dangerous Areas for Truck Accidents in San Antonio?

    Truck accidents are very common in the Lone Star State. According to recent data, Texas had over 26,000 truck accidents in 2023 alone, including 443 fatal crashes. Staying vigilant on the road is imperative to avoid life-altering injuries. Some of the most dangerous areas for truck accidents in the San Antonio area include I-10, I-35, Loop 410, and Loop 1604. These highways are heavily traveled by large commercial trucks, making them hotspots for trucking accidents. Construction zones and inclement weather can also increase the risk of serious collisions. 

    Common Causes of Trucking Accidents

    Truck accidents can arise for a variety of reasons. Common causes include: 

    • Brake failure
    • Drowsy driving
    • Distracted driving
    • Operator inexperience
    • Faulty parts or mechanical failures
    • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
    • $20 MILLION Oil and gas case involving significant economic harm
    • $13.5 MILLION
      Jury Verdict

      Types of Commercial Truck Accidents

      At Kemmy Law Firm, P.C., our highly skilled advocates have a proven track record of results in a wide variety of truck accident claims. Common types of truck accidents we handle include: 

      • Override/underride accidents: These accidents occur when a smaller vehicle slides under or is driven over by a larger truck, potentially leading to severe injuries or fatalities due to the size difference between the vehicles involved.
      • Jackknife accidents: These collisions when the truck’s trailer swings out and forms a ninety-degree angle with the cab, usually due to sudden braking or slippery road conditions. 
      • Rear-end accidents: These accidents occur when a truck hits the back of another vehicle and are common in areas with heavy traffic. 
      • Rollovers: These commonly occur when a truck has unstable loads or takes a sharp turn too quickly, causing the vehicle to tip over onto its side or roof. 
      • T-bone collisions: These accidents are common at intersections. They occur when the front of a truck crashes into the side of another vehicle at a ninety-degree angle.
      • Head-on collisions: These accidents occur when a truck collides head-on with another vehicle. Due to the high speeds and masses involved, head-on collisions can inflict devastating injuries.
      • Wide-turn truck accidents: These accidents occur when a truck swings wide to complete a turn, encroaching on adjacent lanes and striking nearby vehicles.
      • Tire blowout accidents: Sudden tire failures can lead to loss of control, creating hazards for both the trucker and nearby drivers.
      • Blind spot accidents: Trucks have large blind spots, making it difficult for drivers to see nearby cars. When other vehicles linger in these hidden zones, this increases the likelihood of collisions.

      Proving Fault in a Truck Accident Lawsuit

      In addition to identifying liable parties in your claim, your lawyer can help you establish liability by demonstrating four key elements. These include: 

      1. Duty of Care: The defendant owed you a duty of care, such as obeying traffic laws and practicing safe driving. 
      2. Breach of Duty: The defendant breached their duty by acting negligently, such as driving recklessly or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 
      3. Causation: The defendant’s breach directly contributed to the accident and resulting injuries.
      4. Damages: You suffered compensatory harm (damages) as a result of the breach. 

      To successfully prove negligence, it’s important to support your claim with relevant evidence. Your attorney can help you fortify your claim with:   

      • The trucker’s inspection and safety logs
      • Data recovered from electronic logging devices
      • Your medical records and photos of your injuries
      • Repair and maintenance records from the trucking company
      • The company’s federal compliance history and employment records
      • The trucker’s contact information, driving history, and medical records

      Who Is Liable for a Texas Truck Accident?

      Depending on the circumstances of the trucking accident, various parties may be liable for damages. Consulting with a trusted attorney is critical to recovering damages for hospital bills, medical treatments, lost earnings, and other losses. Common liable parties in Texas truck accident claims include: 

      • Truck drivers: Often, the truck driver may be liable for damages in a collision if their negligence contributes to the accident, such as driving recklessly, operating the vehicle while distracted or impaired by drugs or alcohol, or disregarding traffic laws. 
      • Trucking companies: If a trucking company fails to adhere to safety regulations, conduct background checks, provide sufficient training for drivers, or properly maintain and inspect their commercial vehicles, they may be responsible for injuries in a truck accident lawsuit. 
      • Truck manufacturers: If a faulty or defective part contributed to the accident, the truck manufacturer may be liable for damages.
      • Cargo loaders: Improperly loaded cargo can cause the truck’s weight to shift during operation, increasing the risk of accidents and leading to potential liability for cargo loaders.
