National Truck Accident Lawyer

Kelley Witherspoon represents individuals and the families of individuals who have been seriously injured or killed in Texas trucking accidents. These accidents, which involve large, over-the-road tractor trailers (also known as “18-wheelers”) are generally the most deadly we see at Kelley Witherspoon.

A Texas trucking accident occurs when large trailers collide with other vehicles or pedestrians. Around 500,000 trucking accidents occur every year in the United States. Of these, approximately 5,000 trucking accidents result in fatalities. In fact, one out of every eight traffic fatalities involves a trucking collision.

Due to the large size of trucks, an accident can greatly endanger the lives of other smaller vehicles unnecessarily when tractor-trailer operators fail to consider proper accident prevention measures.

We represent truck accident victims throughout Texas and the nation who have been involved in trucking accident cases caused by 18-Wheeler collisions, defective products, road hazards, big rig accidents, defective road design and/or maintenance and auto accidents.
