Trucking Accidents
Auburn trucking accident lawyer Big John Alley has 30 years of experience providing legal guidance and pursuing litigation for his clients in trucking accidents and for trucking-related injuries.
Why do truck accidents cause such serious injuries?
When you are driving, you probably are not aware of the power of semi-trucks. You notice the size when a semi blocks your view or when you must drive right beside one on a multi-lane highway. But what does 80,000 pounds on the road really mean? Big John Alley, a personal injury attorney, knows.
When a semi crashes with a 5,000 pound family car 16 times smaller than the semi, the results are almost always disastrous. Rough estimates are that approximately 500,000 truck accidents occur in the United States each year; 5,000 of those accidents each involve at least one death. The people most likely to be injured or lose their lives in trucking accidents are the drivers and passengers of ordinary family cars, not the truck drivers. Truck accidents are a leading cause of death among people between the ages of five and 35.
Big John has seen the tremendous physical damage a large truck causes in a crash with a car or motorcycle. Far worse is the devastation of the results:
- Serious personal injury,
- disrupted lives,
- broken families,
- property damage,
- financial ruin, and
- wrongful death.
This is the reason Big John fights so hard against trucking companies, insurance companies, and truck drivers who are negligent, careless, greedy or downright defiant of the law. Big John is determined to get the compensation his clients need and deserve when their lives are disrupted by serious injuries from truck accidents.
In his trucking and transportation law practice, Big John Alley has developed the resources and ability to successfully pursue claims in often complex truck accident cases, including specific knowledge of all Alabama and U.S. trucking laws and regulations, such as the requirements for logging driver hours, rest periods, maintenance requirements, training and other regulations.
Big John knows that when a tractor trailer, truck or other commercial vehicle is involved in a collision, companies react quickly to protect themselves and their employees. His experience means he knows exactly where to look, who to talk to and how to find information about what really happened in an Alabama truck accident. Big John Alley negotiates fair settlements whenever possible, but he never backs down from a fight to get full compensation for his clients.
