Wrecks caused by tractor trailers or 18 wheelers are not mere accidents. They are a predictable result of our mass transportation system. Alabama has over 13,000 registered motor carriers operating nearly 70,000 trucks. In 2005, a group of national highway safety advocates ranked Alabama third on its list of deadliest states for truck crashes.

Claims arising from wrecks caused by tractor trailers are much for complicated that simple automobile wreck claims. Our attorneys will work fast to obtain the trucking logs, witness statements, police reports and other important evidence. The Federal Motor Carrier regulations will be reviewed to determine if the company has violated any applicable rules. Trucking experts may be hired to review documents. We will check to see if driver fatigue, overloading, or faulty equipment contributed to the wreck. Some trucking companies hire unqualified drivers, encourage speeding, or overloaded trucks. If these conditions caused or contributed to a wreck, then the trucking company should be responsible.
