Truck speeding accidents are one of the leading causes of crashes especially in the state of Texas where long expanses of open road often entice drivers to make up time that may have been lost while waiting at a loading dock or working their way through traffic.
Driving beyond posted limits is an illegal action for any motorist, but those who operate commercial vehicles run a greater risk of causing severe damage and debilitating injuries if they are involved in a speeding crash.
Have you or someone that you love suffered a serious injury after being hit by a speeding truck?

How Dangerous Speeding Accidents Occur
Excessive speeding can be caused by a number of factors. While nothing justifies breaking the law, understanding why truckers speed and the consequences of this behavior is integral into preventing these accidents from occurring in the first place.
Speeding collisions may be caused by:
- Trucker negligence or inattention
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI)
- Truck driver fatigue
- Belief that speeding is not a serious offense
- Belief that they will not be caught breaking the law
- Rushing to meet delivery deadlines
A speeding truck crash can result in:
- Jackknife accident
- Truckers inability to avoid a collision
- Tipping due to loss of control of the truck
- Exiting the roadway due to loss of control of the truck
- Colliding with the car ahead
- Colliding with a car across lanes
- Hydroplaning accidents
Speed exaggerates the effects of other actions. A collision at a high speed will create a greater force and impact than one that occurs at a lower velocity. Injuries and property damage are typically much more severe when a trucker is driving beyond legal limits.
