Heavy truck collisions have been more common because of negligence. Sometimes these collisions are due to fatigue, inattention, and overwork of their work shift. However, all large truck drivers should be responsible so that they could avoid these type of accidents, which are deadly.
The size of the trucks themselves are the cause of the death and serious injuries for average sized motor vehicles, because the impact of the 18 wheelers will do damage to any vehicle smaller than its size. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured due to a collision with an 18-wheeler truck, our personal injury lawyers can help represent your case to get the compensation you deserve.
If you or a loved one has been injured or if your spouse, son/daughter or parent has been killed in a collision with an 18-wheeler, tractor trailer or heavy truck, contact Truck Accident Attorneys in Houston.

Supreme Court term begins amid government shutdown
The Supreme Court began its new term Monday by turning away hundreds of appeals, including Virginia's bid to revive its anti-sodomy law.
The justices took the bench just past 10 o'clock on the first Monday in October, even as much of the rest of the government was coping with a partial shutdown.
Chief Justice John Roberts formally opened the new term without any reference to the partisan impasse over the budget and the new health care law that his vote helped uphold in 2012.
The court has announced it will operate normally at least through the end of this week. The justices are hearing six arguments, including a challenge to limits on campaign contributions.
Among the appeals denied Monday was Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's request to review a federal appeals court ruling that threw out the state's ban on oral and anal sex. Ten years ago, the Supreme Court struck down the Texas anti-sodomy law in a case involving two adults. Virginia argued that the Texas ruling did not apply to sex acts between adults and minors.

Court favors Abercrombie in Okla. suit over hijab
A federal appeals court has dismissed claims by an Oklahoma woman who says she wasn't hired by Abercrombie & Fitch because her headscarf conflicted with the retailer's dress code, which has since been changed.
A federal judge initially sided with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which filed the lawsuit on behalf of Samantha Elauf. The EEOC alleged that Elauf wasn't hired in 2008 at an Abercrombie store in Tulsa's Woodland Hills Mall because her hijab violated the clothing retailer's "Look Policy."
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision Tuesday. The court said Elauf never told Abercrombie she needed a religious accommodation, even though she was wearing the headscarf during her interview.
The Ohio-based company changed its policy three years ago. It recently settled similar lawsuits in California.
