Accident involving Daylight Transport in Recent Years
Like all nationwide trucking companies, Daylight Transport travels millions of miles every year, crisscrossing the North American interstate freeway system delivering truckloads of goods to customers. However, the demands of on-time delivery and tight scheduling places truckers and other drivers sharing the roadway at risk. An accident involving Daylight Transport in recent years includes:
- Crash on April 4, 2017 – The Dallas Police Department filed a report of a single-unit 2-axle, 6-tire truck pulling an enclosed box trailer during daylight hours. At the time of the incident, there were no adverse weather conditions. The accident involved two vehicles on Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway in Dallas, Texas. The report indicates there was one injury, but no fatalities.

Filing a Compensation Claim for Personal Injury Caused by a Truck Accident
All victims suffering injuries from a cargo van, semi-tractor-trailer, or commercial truck can file a lawsuit or claim and seek financial compensation from each party responsible for the accident. However, the victim must follow Texas tort laws to build and present a case for compensation. Often, the process is complicated. Sometimes, the injured victim will file a claim or lawsuit to recover all of their losses through negotiations with insurance companies or litigation in court to hold the trucking company responsible for damages.
Victims can file truck accident claims for reimbursement to ensure they receive the monetary recovery they deserve. Once the victim’s case is resolved at trial or through a negotiated settlement, he or she can recover:
- Hospital bills, medical expenses, and the cost of rehabilitation and therapy
- Lost income because of missed work: Loss of future earnings due to temporary or permanent disability
- Rental vehicle reimbursement while your damaged vehicle is under repair
- The cost of replacement of your total car or truck
- Mental stress and emotional anguish
- Pain and suffering

Common Causes of a Large Commercial Truck Accident
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that truck accidents in the United States often involve:
- Driving Distracted – Truckers should avoid the trappings of driving over an extended time, like talking on their mobile device or sending text messages, which could lead to distracted driving.
- Drowsy Driving – The demands of truck driving often requires the truck or to operate their vehicle for many hours without taking a break, which can lead to drowsy driving.
- Driving under the Influence – If the truckers involved in an accident, law enforcement will often perform a test at the accident scene to determine if the truck driver consumed alcohol or took illegal drugs.
- Aggressive Behavior – Aggressively operating a vehicle could result in wrongful death or severe injuries of innocent passengers and motorists.
Sometimes, a commercial vehicle driver will cause an accident because of erratic movements, or they were fatigued, having worked too many hours on a tight schedule. In these cases, attorneys working on behalf of their clients can obtain monetary recovery because they were able to prove to the claim’s adjuster or jury that the trucker and trucking company failed to maintain a safe environment for everyone on the road.
