Free Case ReviewFort Worth Wide-Turn Truck Accident Lawyers
Right-turn accidents involving 18-wheelers are particularly dangerous for cyclists, motorcyclists, and drivers traveling alongside the truck in the right lane. A trucker who swings left before turning right — the 'wide right turn' — without properly checking the right lane can trap and crush smaller vehicles between the truck and the curb. Federal regulations and Texas law require commercial drivers to execute turns safely. When a trucker fails to clear the right lane before swinging wide, the carrier is vicariously liable for all resulting injuries. We document wide-turn crashes with intersection camera footage and trucking industry standard-of-care expert testimony.
