Austin Dump Truck Accident Attorneys
Fighting For Dump Truck Accident Victims in Texas
Dump trucks are powerful, heavy vehicles that carry loose materials like gravel, soil, or sand in an open container with a hinge mechanism allows the driver to tilt the container to dump the load. Dump trucks can cause significant damage in a crash. They are hard to see around, so the driver needs to make the effort to check the blind spot when backing up to avoid hitting a worker, pedestrian, cyclist, or another vehicle. In addition, if the driver does not check behind the truck carefully before dumping the load, the material can fall on a person, causing serious injury.
Dump trucks are often involved in construction accidents, but they can also cause serious injury or death to others when they are involved in accidents.
