Tractor Trailer Collisions

Alabama Truck Accident Attorney

One out of eight traffic fatalities in the U.S. in 2005 resulted from a collision involving a large truck, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In Alabama 119 large truck accidents resulted in fatalities. Truck accident injuries can be devastating on both the accident victim and his entire family. Unfortunately, given the large size of trucks, even a relatively low impact truck accident can often lead to a wrongful death. You deserve a truck accident lawyer who has the requisite experience and financial power to represent you against the large truck accident defendants.

You may have been injured as a result of a collision with a truck, which was not your fault. A family member may have been killed through a truck accident. You may have been affected by a spill that resulted from a truck accident, where you were exposed to toxic substances. Whatever the situation, if you feel you have been injured or affected as a result of a truck accident you may be able to make a claim.

If you were injured or a loved one suffered a wrongful death in a truck accident, please contact a truck accident attorney at Hornsby, Watson, Hornsby, Blackwell & McKown for a free consultation and case evaluation. We have helped victims of truck accidents recover the financial compensation they need to pay for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.

Whether you were side swiped on the interstate by a semi tractor trailer or rear ended in a parking lot by a delivery truck, we can help you receive the money you deserve.

Truck accidents are far more complicated than the typical car crash and often involve several liable parties. We will determine the cause of the accident and who is liable for damages. Is it the truck driver, the owner of the tractor, the owner of the trailer, the shop that last repaired the truck, the warehouse that loaded it? We will get the answers and hold all possible parties liable.

We may hire an accident reconstructionist to determine the factors that contributed to the crash, for example:

  • Improper maintenance
  • Driver fatigue
  • Load shift
  • Speeding
  • Improper lane change
  • Alcohol or drug use
  • Dangerous roadway
  • Improperly trained or licensed driver

Please do not sign anything from an insurance company without first consulting with an experienced truck accident lawyer at Hornsby, Watson, Hornsby, Blackwell & McKown. We have helped truck accident victims recover substantial damage awards both through settlements and litigation. We'd like to help you, too. You can depend on us to help you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible in your case.
