Crashes involving large commercial vehicles such as semi trucks, 18-wheelers, “big rigs”, passenger vans and commercial vehicles of all types can be catastrophic for people in smaller passenger vehicles. We’ll help you pinpoint the causes of your injuries and fight to hold the truck driver or trucking company responsible for their negligence.
Like most states in the nation, Alabama’s economy and its people depend on imports and exports and the commerce that trucks transport. Indeed, this is part of the reason why the trucking industry within the state is so strong – in recent years, the trucking industry in Alabama has provided more than 100,000 jobs, or about one out of every 15, in the state. What’s more, a whopping 86.1 percent of communities in Alabama depend exclusively on trucks to move their goods, according to the Alabama Trucking Association.
But while large trucks may move goods, allowing people access to the food and products that they rely on every day, and generate jobs and economic growth, the operation of large trucks is a risky business. Large trucks can be difficult to control, and if they are involved in a crash, the outcome can be devastating.

Driver error. Truck driver error is one of the most common causes of a trucking accident in Alabama, with truck driver errors including, but not being limited to:
In addition to the above, the actions of a third party driver (such as illegally lane changing in front of a truck, resulting in the truck driver quickly swerving to avoid the vehicle and as a result colliding with another) may lead to a crash, as could poor weather, animals and debris on the road, and poor road conditions or improper signage.

If you have been involved in an accident with a large truck, the damages you have suffered may be very severe. In fact, large trucks can weigh up to 20 times more than passenger cars, which means that vehicles can be completely crushed or totaled in the event of a collision. For drivers and passengers in smaller vehicles, injuries are often devastating.
A truck accident can result in a wide range of injury types, with the most severe being traumatic brain injuries, amputation and crush injuries, and spinal cord injuries. While these injuries can be permanently disabling and sometimes even fatal, other injuries can be equally as painful and sometimes just as limiting. A person injured in a crash may never be able to return to life as normal, require a wheelchair or assistance for the remainder of their life, be prevented from returning to the workforce, and could even be unable to care for themselves.
