Juan Vera III Seriously Injured in a Semi truck and Chevy Silverado Accident on Coffee Port Rd, Brownsville, Texas

Thoughts on semi-trucks following basic safety rules

Due to their size and nature, commercial trucks bear responsibility when executing maneuvers such as left turns. The requirement to yield and ensure ample space during these actions is pivotal for everyone’s safety. Truck drivers must be aware of their surroundings, confirming the absence of other vehicles near them, particularly smaller ones like passenger cars.

This responsibility extends beyond individual drivers to the trucking companies themselves. Ensuring trucks are equipped with properly installed mirrors is fundamental to road safety. Additionally, these companies must provide their drivers with a solid understanding of basic road rules, emphasizing compliance with traffic regulations.

These simple yet crucial practices contribute to overall road safety. Accountability becomes imperative when a truck driver or trucking company fails to meet these responsibilities.

Trained professionals must thoroughly investigate whether the driver neglected safe driving practices, was distracted, or disregarded traffic rules: accountability is crucial.

The legal processes exist to ensure those affected receive the compensation necessary for their recovery and the restoration of their lives.
