Abilene Truck Accident Lawyer

Abilene, Texas, with a population of about 115,930, is properly described as a metropolitan area, one with significant traffic, and numerous truck routes such as US 20, TX 83, TX 84 and TX 277, where accidents are waiting to happen. Being a big rig truck driver means working long hours under pressure due to delivery deadlines. Truck companies may have policies to help ensure the safety of their drivers and others on the road, however, human error always exists. Working long hours for truck drivers can mean exhaustion which can lead to accidents and even death. Although drivers are required to adhere to federal regulations involving time on the road, taking breaks and their loads, shortcuts in driver safety can result in negligence behind the wheel. Under federal and state laws, a trucking company may be held liable for driver negligence occurring in Texas. A Gordon & Elias truck accident lawyer will vigorously defend an injured client’s rights by holding trucking companies and their drivers accountable for their trucking accidents.
