Tanker Truck Accident Lawyer
Serving Dallas, Texas and Surrounding Areas
A
In a truck accident, tanker trucks can potentially cause more damage than other tractor-trailers. They are more likely to tip over and create a toxic spill or explosion because they are top-heavy and often carry dangerous chemicals such as gasoline or waste.
Greater Danger from Tanker Trucks
Tanker truck rollovers happen frequently but not all of them are life-threatening. There may be no other automobiles involved because the tanker has rolled over independently, and the tank may remain intact. But when fuel or toxic waste spills from an overturned tanker, the danger to other drivers and anyone else in the area can be great.
The spilled chemicals can not only damage people and vehicles, but can soak into the surrounding ground and cause hazards to individuals, crops, and animals on the land. You do not have to be in another car to be directly affected by a tanker truck accident.
Laws About Tanker Trucks and Drivers
Both federal and Texas trucking laws require drivers of tanker trucks to take extra precautions when transporting hazardous materials. These laws are in place to reduce tanker truck accidents and to minimize damage if there is an accident. An experienced truck accident lawyer can determine what responsibility a truck driver or trucking company has regarding your injury or property damage. Truck driver fatigue often contributes to accidents, as does incorrectly loaded trailers and an array of other possibilities.
