Demopolis Truck Accident Lawyers

The trucking industry serves an important purpose in Alabama. However, the pressures of the industry and the focus of big businesses often create substantial hazards for motorists and pedestrians. Truck accidents are not always the driver’s fault, but related to big business pressures to produce more profits. In other situations, the trucking company will seek to protect a negligent driver to avoid their own liability. Drivers are often tired, overworked, improperly trained or placed in rigs that have not been properly maintained.

When driver fatigue, safety violations or any other form of driver or trucking company negligence leads to a truck accident, the injuries to others can be severe. Catastrophic injury, including traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury, or injuries that result in wrongful death are far too common in an accident involving a vehicle that can weigh 80,000 pounds.
