Amarillo Truck Accident Lawyer

Amarillo, Texas, with a population of about 173,627, is properly described as a metropolitan area, one with significant traffic, and numerous truck routes such as US 27, US 40, TX 60, TX 87 and TX 287, where accidents are waiting to happen. Even though trucking companies have regulations for their drivers, sometimes due to the pressure of the job, truck drivers get sloppy. Truck drivers have deliveries and deadlines to make which can sometimes lead to exhaustion. Truck drivers have long hours behind the wheel which can turn fatigue and stress into a terrible accident. 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.
