Protecting Texas Families from Negligent Trucking Companies
The commercial trucking industry transports essential goods across Texas, but when companies prioritize profit over safety and violate FMCSA regulations, they transform highways into danger zones. Catastrophic truck accidents caused by regulatory violations are entirely preventable—they result from conscious corporate decisions to cut corners, push drivers beyond safe limits, and defer necessary maintenance.
Texas families deserve accountability when these decisions cause devastating injuries or death. FMCSA regulations exist specifically to prevent catastrophic accidents, and violations of these rules should result in meaningful consequences that deter future non-compliance.
McKay Law PLLC stands ready to hold negligent trucking companies accountable, secure maximum compensation for injury victims, and protect Texas families from companies that view safety regulations as optional suggestions rather than mandatory requirements.
