Rear-End Truck Accident Lawyers in Beaumont
Protecting the Injured Throughout Southeast Texas
When a massive commercial truck or 18-wheeler rear-ends a smaller vehicle, the consequences can be devastating. The size and weight of these vehicles when traveling at any speed causes a huge force of impact. This may lead to death or injury for the car's occupants and the destruction of their vehicle.
Pain, suffering, mounting medical bills, vehicle expenses, loss of work, and more may follow. Add to this a protracted battle with the commercial trucking company or their insurers and the stress can put a strain on your recovery. At a time like this, you need a strong legal advocate in your corner, someone who can build a strategy to help you restore your life.

How & Why Rear-End Truck Accidents Occur
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), trucks accounted for only 4 percent of all registered vehicles in 2012. Yet they were credited with 8 percent of all the traffic accidents that involved fatalities.
Rear-end truck accidents leading to injury and death can result from a number of factors including:
- The longer distance it takes for trucks to stop
- Speeding
- Distracted driving (reading, texting, eating, drinking, adjusting devices and controls)
- Environmental conditions
- Poor maintenance of the truck
- Improper or insecure cargo load
