Jefferson County Semi Accidents Attorney
Commercial truck accidents are a leading cause of fatalities and serious injuries on Alabama highways and interstates. Unlike personal vehicles, most commercial trucks are heavily weighted and can cause devastating personal injury and property damage. It is no wonder that the Department of Transportation has strict guidelines that must be followed by truck companies. These include driving time restrictions, weight limits, regular equipment inspections, log book records, etc. All too often, however, these regulations are not followed by the trucker or his company, resulting in serious accidents and personal injury.
The Drake Law Firm has spent years successfully representing families and victims who have suffered injury or death as a result of negligent truck drivers. We have handled trucking accident claims across Birmingham and the state of Alabama, involving a variety of different commercial trucks, including:
