ALABAMA TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWSUIT CLAIMS

TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWYERS IN ALABAMA

When a car is involved with a truck in a crash, there is only one result that is certain: The car is lost. If you do not choose one of our experienced attorneys as your truck accident lawyer, you may end up losing twice. Hiring specialized truck crash lawyers can mean the difference between receiving tens of thousands or millions of dollars. Simply put, you could make a big mistake hiring just any attorney instead of an experienced truck crash attorney.

You do not need to hire an Alabama law firm if your accident happens in Alabama. You have to retain a firm that specializes in trucking accidents.

Oftentimes, firms in other states, like ours, are retained due to their experience and expertise. Many times, although an injured car occupant might be living in Alabama, the company that hauls the truck is from another state.

Finally, and probably most important, they treat you as if you were a family member, not just a customer. We understand very well what serious, disabling, permanent injuries, or worse, the passing of a loved one, mean to you. We find some law firms across the country lose the path, often forgetting they are representing an individual and not just a document.

Truck drivers work long hours, often under great pressure from employers to get their jobs done, no matter what it takes. This leads to shortcuts, which may be tantamount to negligence. Drivers are required to follow rules regarding the time they are on the road, how many breaks are allowed, and how much load they are carrying. Under the law, the trucking company can and must, be held responsible for its drivers’ negligent actions.

We utilize the expertise and in-depth legal knowledge, combined with extensive resources, to construct your tractor-trailer accident injury claims from the facts. Expertise comes from our network of trucking industry experts and accident reconstruction professionals. From there, we pursue the best possible resolution, whether it is a settlement, mediation, or trial.

Before entering a truck’s cockpit, the long-haul driver should conduct a pre-trip inspection, so when a trucker turns the ignition key, they are doing so under the impression everything is safe. The pre-trip inspection is meant to catch problems before a truck gets on the road. Periodic brake checks, including the adjustment of the calipers, hydraulic, pneumatic, and air brakes, proper rest and recreation times as required by Federal Law, and the load of the trailer is correctly secured, loaded, and operated.

If these are lacking, each and every vehicle that passes is in danger of collision. Each driver may be injured or killed. These requirements apply to all drivers on Interstates and failing to do any of them usually results in negligence, which is a common reason why a truck crash results in severe injury or death.

Shuttle buses and casino buses on their way to casinos in Biloxi or Mississippi, such as the Beau Rivage, Hollywood, Isle of Capri, Silver Star, Gold Strike, Harrahs, Horseshoe, Sheraton, and Fitzgerald. Other buses include vacation buses, tour buses, Greyhound buses, and other charter buses.

The differences in cash settlement sizes for commercial truck cases are potentially far greater than in motor vehicle accidents overall due to two reasons: The damage done by the vehicle and the size of the insurance policies involved. You know your individual car insurance policy is sometimes only up to Alabama’s minimum mandatory cap of $25,000. When a commercial vehicle is involved, like corporate vans, corporate pickup trucks, tow trucks, etc., insurance policies are often far larger, and when the driver is negligent, you may well receive fair and full compensation. The difficulty of the truck driver’s job is not a free pass for taking shortcuts.

They are supposed to be skilled drivers, and federal laws are there for a reason. Tractor-trailer operators need to realize that not obeying or breaking these laws could result in a major crash, causing injuries or even death. Rest breaks should be taken, and temptations to use alcohol and drugs should be avoided. Unfortunately, this does not always happen, which increases the need for strong representation.
