Tuskegee Trucking Accident Lawyer

Making the right moves

There were 81 large trucks involved in fatal accidents in 2009 in Alabama, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Large trucks—tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers or semi-rigs—dominate every major roadway. Frank M. Wilson, P.C. has decades of experience handling the complicated legal claims that result when a truck and car collide.

Our trucking accident attorneys handle cases in Tuskegee, Union Springs, and Montgomery counties. Gathering reports, crash data, and testimony, our legal team has the experience to handle these complex cases and achieve needed financial compensation for individuals and families facing a future altered by injury.

No amount of money can compensate for damaged health. While mechanical failure and driver fatigue contribute to trucking accidents on Alabama roads, passenger car driver error frequently contributes to injury and death statistics in our state. Our attorneys understand the actions every motorist should take to avoid injury in a Union Springs trucking accident, including the following:

• Steer clear: When passing a semi-truck, continue in the passing lane until you can see the entire truck in your rear-view mirror. Do not slow once you pull back into the same lane as the truck.
• Avoid sudden moves: Avoid a Tuskegee truck accident by considering how long it takes for a semi-truck to slow. Big trucks cannot stop quickly. Do not pull out in front of one. Give trucks time to pass and fall in behind when merging onto a highway.
• Know the No-Zone: The area immediately to the front and sides of a semi-truck is called the No-zone. This zone is inherently dangerous and sustained driving in these areas should be avoided. If you cannot see the face of a truck driver, either directly, or in a mirror, he or she cannot see you.
• Lane changes: Give semi-trucks plenty of time to make lane changes. It takes about the length of two and a half football fields for a large truck to make a lane change travelling at freeway speeds. Passing trucks generate gusts of wind, so keep hands on the wheel and stay in your lane.

If the road was slick, the truck was big, and the accident unavoidable—our law firm can help. We fight to achieve appropriate compensation on your behalf and offer excellent client service and resources to help you and your family move on with your lives.
