Alabama Truckload Accident Lawyer
Alabama highways and interstates can be a dangerous place for average automobile drivers. When you add the presence of 80,000 pound tractor trailers, particularly in heavy traffic, the situation can become deadly. Not only do the trucks themselves present a potential hazard, but the loads they carry can cause devastating property damage and personal injury.
Drake Law Firm has recovered sustantial compensation for Alabama citizens who have suffered injury or death due to falling debris or loads from semi-trucks. Injury caused by truck loads can result in a number of different ways:
- Steel coil accidents
- Shifting loads
- Falling debris collisions
- Trailer tire blow-outs
- Jack-knife and overturn accidents
Steel Coil Accidents
Of particular concern to Alabama motorists are the threat of falling steel coils from flat-bed trucks. There have been over thirty steel coil accidents around Birmingham interstates in the last decade. While the coil itself is usually salvageable, the damage to the roadways has run into the millions. As a result of this widespread problem. the Alabama legislature has enacted stiffer regulations, including hefty fines, the requirement that each driver be certified in load securement and even jail time.
