We work hard to determine the source of the negligence that resulted in the truck crash and develop strong cases seeking maximum compensation for our clients.
Injuries From Semi Truck Crashes In Birmingham, Alabama
Truck accidents often lead to life-changing injuries that include:
- Brain injuries, including traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Neck injuries
- Back injuries, including spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis
- Fractures
- Organ damage
- Burns and disfigurement
Injuries such as these can leave victims unable to work or even care for themselves. They may need lifelong care, multiple surgeries, durable medical equipment and other expensive solutions to the problems caused by trucking accident injuries. Our lawyers help victims rebuild their lives as fully as possible after semi truck crashes and tractor-trailer accidents by helping them to obtain the compensation they need and deserve.
Our lawyers advocate for victims of large truck wrecks caused by negligence such as:
- Failure to provide adequate truck driver training.
- Failure of driver to take mandated rest breaks, causing fatigue and sleepiness.
- Failure of trucking company to properly maintain truck and/or trailer.
- Failure of driver to avoid distracted driving such as texting, watching television or using a GPS system.
- Failure of driver to adhere to the speed limit or adjust speed to road conditions.
Other common causes of truck crashes involving negligence include following too closely, failing to check blind spots before changing lanes, driving on roads from which semi trucks are banned, changing lanes frequently and failing to use turn signals. Whatever the cause of the truck accident, the sheer size and weight of a loaded semi means that any collision or crash has the potential to cause catastrophic or fatal injuries.
