Understanding the Dangers of Texas Highways
I-10, Highway 225, and Highway 146 are three of the busiest trucking corridors in Southeast Texas, carrying thousands of 18-wheelers every day through Houston, Deer Park, La Porte, Baytown, Pasadena, Texas City, Beaumont, and Orange. With the heavy mix of refinery traffic, port access, and local commuters, it’s no surprise that serious trucking accidents happen frequently along these stretches of road.
When an 18-wheeler collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often catastrophic — leading to severe injuries, wrongful deaths, and long recovery times. Understanding your rights after a truck wreck is the first step toward getting the justice and compensation you deserve.
What Victims Should Do After a Truck Accident
If you or a loved one has been involved in an 18-wheeler accident on I-10, Highway 225, Highway 146, or near Deer Park or La Porte, taking the right steps is critical to protecting your claim:
- Call 911 immediately and make sure a crash report is filed.
- Seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor — trucking injuries can worsen over time.
- Document the scene with photos of vehicles, skid marks, and road conditions.
- Collect information from the truck driver, trucking company, and witnesses.
- Do not sign anything from the trucking company’s insurance adjuster without talking to a lawyer.
- Contact an experienced Texas truck accident attorney to begin investigating your claim right away.
