Can A Vestavia Hills Truck Accident Lawyer Help Me?
Yes! The right attorney is one who understands the differences between a semi-truck accident case and a car collision between two private vehicles. You deserve fair compensation to cover your medical care, including projected medical needs and the impact of your injuries on your earning potential.

Our firm has extensive resources to protect truck accident victims, including medical experts who can attest to the nature and severity of your injuries and what future medical care you may need. We also consult with forensic accountants, who can value the economic impact of your inures on your ability to sustain gainful employment. You’re entitled to claim the entirely lost wages from time missed at work and loss of earning potential. We make sure to accurately value your economic losses to ensure you receive as much money as possible.
Complexities Of Truck Accident Cases
The high value of many truck accident claims is one of the chief obstacles to securing a fair settlement. Insurance carriers don’t stay in business long if they consistently pay out six and seven-figure settlements, so they take a very close look at the strength of your claim. This is where having the right attorney is so vital. If your claim is weak or not supported with plenty of evidence it’s easier for the insurer to deny or minimize your claim. We build cases based on based on solid evidence like data from the truck’s “black box,” witness accounts, and dash cam or traffic camera footage.
Your claim may have multiple defendants, not just the trucker. We’ve found that many times, the trucking company shares some of the liability in these claims, so we prepare a case of vicarious liability against them. Not every law firm has the resources and talent to prepare two strong cases for a truck accident injury claim—we do.
