Injured In A Truck Accident In The Eagle Ford Shale Region?
What were once rural county and farm-to-market roads are now regularly traveled byways for big rigs and tanker trucks traveling to and from the Eagle Ford Shale Region. These roads were not built for the heavy traffic that the shale oil and gas boom has brought to South Texas. In the last year alone, fatal traffic accidents have increased by more than 30 percent in the Eagle Ford Shale Region, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.

South Texas Truck Accidents In The Eagle Ford Region
The oil and gas boom in the Eagle Ford Shale has increased truck traffic by more than 1000 percent in South and East Texas. As 80,000 pound tanker-trucks travel narrow two-lane roads, collisions with others using the same roads are becoming more and more common.
Potential causes of collisions with big-rigs involved in oil and gas transport in the Eagle Ford Play include:

Injuries that often result from a big-rig, 18-wheeler or commercial vehicle accident include:

Adding to the potential for serious or fatal injuries as a result of oil and gas truck accidents in this booming region is the length of time it takes for emergency responders to reach a crash scene. It can take over an hour for emergency responders to reach some areas of South Texas; when a commercial truck accident has caused serious injuries, that wait time can turn serious injuries into fatal injuries.
