Any truck accident can be devastating, but a collision between a concrete truck and a passenger vehicle can be even worse. If a negligent truck driver caused an accident leading to you suffering a severe injury, please contact an Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP Houston concrete truck accident lawyer immediately. We’ll put our extensive skills and experience to work for you, helping you obtain maximum compensation.

Why Concrete Trucks Must Typically Go Much Slower Than Other Commercial Trucks

Due to their design and load characteristics, concrete trucks must travel at slower speeds than other commercial trucks. These vehicles carry heavy and often shifting loads of liquid concrete, which affects their center of gravity and stability. The drum’s rotation, necessary to keep the concrete mixed and prevent it from hardening, further adds to the challenge.

Traveling at high speeds can lead to spills, rollovers, and loss of control.Additionally, the braking distance for a fully loaded concrete truck is significantly longer than for other vehicles, requiring slower speeds to ensure safe stopping.  Driving at a reduced speed is essential for preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of the truck and other road users.

The Dangers of Concrete Trucks

Concrete trucks pose significant dangers due to their weight, size, and the nature of their cargo. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports that large trucks, including concrete mixers, are involved in approximately 4,000 fatal crashes annually in the United States.

Concrete trucks are particularly hazardous because their high center of gravity makes them prone to rollovers. The risk of a rollover increases when the vehicle makes a sharp turn or makes a sudden maneuver. Their weight can cause severe damage and catastrophic injuries in a collision. Spills from these trucks can also create hazardous road conditions, leading to secondary accidents.

Causes of Concrete Truck Accidents

Several factors contribute to concrete truck accidents, such as:

• Driver error: Fatigue, distraction, and inadequate training can lead to accidents. Concrete truck drivers must be highly skilled due to the unique challenges of operating these vehicles.
• Mechanical failures: Brake failures, tire blowouts, and other mechanical issues can cause drivers to lose control. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent such incidents.
• Overloading: Exceeding the weight capacity can destabilize the truck and increase the risk of rollovers and other accidents.
• Improper loading: Uneven concrete distribution can shift the truck’s center of gravity, making it more prone to tipping.

I cannot recommend Kelly Viktorin at Armstrong Lee & Baker highly enough. After being injured at work, I was incredibly discouraged as many attorneys wouldn’t take my case due to the complexities involved. From our very first consultation, Kelly and her team jumped right in, demonstrating a level of dedication and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. I was consistently kept informed of any updates and felt like a priority. Kelly truly went above and beyond to fight for me, and I am so grateful for her hard work and commitment. If you’re facing a challenging work injury case, especially with a Texas non-subscriber, don’t hesitate to reach out to Kelly Viktorin. You’ll be in excellent hands.

When I got injured my company didn’t have workers comp. They had something called non subscriber insurance.
I tried a dozen or more lawyers and no one would take my case.
I lost my house in Texas so right as I was moving back to where I was from, Florida, o call Armstrong and Lee. They said they could take my case. Shortly after I meet Adam Grable.
Adam took the case and unraveled it like a champ. It was a difficult case and that’s why other lawyers didn’t take.
Over the next year, Adam because a friend and a member of the family.
I found him brilliant and personable and when needed he found for me.
In the end, we took a settlement even though Adam told me he had a good shot at trial. He understood i wanted this behind me!
If you ever find yourself needed a lawyer trust me Adam Grable will be on your side!
