What are the Most Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Beaumont, Texas?
The NHTSA defines large trucks as any medium or heavy truck, not including buses and motor homes, with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds.
Both commercial and non-commercial vehicles fit in this category, and include 18-wheelers, flatbed trucks, construction equipment vehicles, and other delivery vehicles. The obvious danger when these trucks collide with much smaller passenger vehicles is that their size, weight, and force can cause catastrophic injuries and tragic fatalities.
Of the over 5,600 truck accident fatalities that occurred in the U.S. last year, 15% were truck occupants, 68% were occupants of cars and other passenger vehicles, and 16% were pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists, proving when negligence is a factor, no one is safe on our roadways.
Common negligent actions that lead to truck accidents may include, but are not limited to:
- Distracted Driving
- Driving Too Fast for the Traffic or Weather Conditions
- Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs
- Failing to Leave Enough Room to Stop
- Fatigued Driving
- Speeding
Whether your truck accident was caused by the truck driver’s recklessness, the trucking company’s negligence, or another third party’s failure to safely comply with industry regulations,
our skilled Beaumont personal injury lawyers at the Hollingsworth Law Firm will investigate your crash from end-to-end to ensure all potentially liable parties are included in your claim.

Steven and I attended law school together and I have known him since 2000. He was stellar in representing a close friend with a personal injury matter. I have been very impressed with his communication, dedication and thoroughness in representation.
Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven's presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
