Truck Accidents

Birmingham Truck Accident Lawyers Serving Alabama and Georgia

The trucking industry is regulated by state law, and federal law through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Truck drivers are limited in the number of hours they can drive without resting. They must be properly licensed and obey traffic safety laws. Truck drivers and trucking companies are expected to maintain the safety of their vehicles through periodic maintenance. When a truck accident involves violations of state or federal regulations, truck drivers and their employers can be held financially liable for injuries and fatalities that occur as a result.

At Yearout & Traylor, our attorneys work with experienced accident investigators using GPS technology to recreate what caused a truck accident. By measuring skid marks, reviewing a truck driver's log book and fuel receipts, and analyzing data from a truck's black box recorder we can often determine if excessive speeding or driver fatigue was involved.

Collisions with tractor trailers often cause terrible catastrophic injuries, and even cause wrongful death. Victims of such tragedies deserve the experienced, aggressive Birmingham truck accident lawyers of Yearout & Traylor, P.C.

No Recovery, No Fee

We know that after suffering a serious injury in a crash with an 18-wheeler, you are probably plagued by medical bills, pain and suffering, and the need to make up for lost wages. At such a difficult time, you can hardly be expected to pay attorney's fees -- so we charge nothing unless you recover the money you are entitled to.

Our lawyers work hard to reach out-of-court settlements that can get our clients the money they need without the stress of a trial. However, we do not settle for a small amount just to avoid trial -- our attorneys have handled hundreds of trials and are always fully prepared to go to court. In fact, our firm's reputation for aggressive, effective trial lawyers often gets our clients better settlements.
