Texas consistently leads the nation in commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crashes, with recent data showing 35,000 to nearly 40,000 truck accidents annually. These incidents result in over 600 deaths and thousands of serious injuries each year, frequently occurring on major interstates like I-10, I-35, and I-45.
Trucking companies have armies of lawyers on retainer the moment a crash happens. You need someone in your corner before the black-box data 'disappears'.
