Odessa Truck Accident Attorney
Injured in a Trucking Accident in Midland or Odessa?
Given Odessa, Texas' location on Interstate 20, this area's roads are frequently packed with commercial trucks and 18-wheelers. All commercial vehicles, such as trucks, semi-trucks, tractor trailers, and 18-wheelers, are required to adhere to traffic laws and strict federal regulations to ensure the safety of motorists. Unfortunately, not all truck drivers operate their vehicles in accordance with the law. When a negligent truck driver fails to adhere to specific rules, the impending damage of a collision with an 80,000 pound commercial truck could be catastrophic, and most times, fatal.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a collision with a commercial truck in West Texas, a skilled Odessa truck accident lawyer from Herring Law Firm can help you seek justice. Call (888) 470-2876 today to discuss your case.
