Trucking Accident Injuries

Truck accident claims are very complex and require extensive experience and an in-depth understanding of trucking regulations as well as the serious injuries that are typically involved. Commercial truck accidents are some of the most devastating crashes on our highways, and truck accident claims are made even more complicated when there are multiple vehicles and multiple victims involved. We are experienced in “big rig” accidents and can help you and your family during this difficult time.

Alabama Truck Accident Lawyer

Proper investigation by attorneys with extensive truck accident experience and a thorough understanding of the applicable trucking regulations is the key to a successful truck accident claim.

Determining and proving fault in a truck accident requires finding all of the

underlying causes of the accident, including any direct violations of trucking regulations involved in your accident and any history of violations on the part of the truck driver, trucking company, and others who may be held responsible.

Common causes of accidents involving 18-wheelers include:

  • Unrealistic schedules imposed on truck drivers
  • Inexperienced or under trained truck driver
  • Truck driver who does not have the proper licensing
  • Driver fatigue
  • Speeding or driving too fast for the conditions
  • Distracted driving
  • Intoxication
  • Improperly loaded truck
  • Overweight truck
  • Inadequately secured load
  • Failure to perform pre-trip inspection
  • Poorly maintained truck
  • Defective truck or equipment
  • Roadway defect
  • Other negligent drivers

Once we determine the underlying causes of your accident, we know where to seek compensation for your injuries.
