It is not yet known what charges may be filed against the truck driver, but we are confident that detectives will conduct a thorough investigation and will be working with the Montgomery County authorities on this matter. According to their website, the Texas Department of Public Safety’s objective is to “…reduce commercial motor vehicle accidents through the enforcement of Motor Carrier Safety Regulations…to protect the rights, privileges, and safety of the general public in the use of the public highway system by securing compliance with traffic laws and regulations applicable to the operation of all vehicles.”
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death
After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?
Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
