When an 80,000-pound 18-wheeler rear-ends a passenger vehicle on Fort Worth's I-35W or I-20, the force differential is extreme. Even at relatively low speeds, the weight of the truck crushes and pushes smaller vehicles with enormous force. These crashes cause spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, thoracic trauma, and wrongful death. Federal regulations require commercial truck drivers to maintain safe following distances (49 CFR §392.2) and restrict hours of service to prevent fatigue (49 CFR §395). We investigate all violations and pursue the carrier, the driver, and any maintenance provider whose failures contributed.
