Beasley Allen has secured a $4 million settlement for our clients who were injured in a mishap involving a negligent trucking company.
The incident happened in January 2019 when our clients were traveling eastbound on US-80 in Lowndes County, Alabama. At the same time, the defendant was driving a tractor-trailer on US-80 when his trailer became detached from the cab, blocking both eastbound traffic lanes. Our client’s vehicle subsequently collided with the trailer.
Besides the considerable damage to the vehicle, our clients also experienced both short-term and long-term physical harm and pain, loss of their quality and enjoyment of life, emotional distress and incurred medical expenses.
“Our clients were innocent victims of a preventable tragedy caused by the negligence of a trucking company,” said Beasley Allen attorney Warner Hornsby. “We are pleased that we were able to secure a fair settlement that will help them move forward with their lives and recover from the physical, emotional and financial toll of this incident.”
Commercial vehicle and truck accident cases can’t be treated like typical car accident cases. They are unique in their own way due to various reasons, including:
- The size and experience of the defendants.
- The need to immediately preserve and record evidence.
- The complicated relationships between trucking companies, insurance carriers and other possible defendants.
- Navigating complex insurance issues.
- Familiarity with federal and state trucking laws.
- Collecting, processing and analyzing technical data.
We understand that peace of mind is essential to recovery, especially after a traumatic event like a truck accident. We want to take this challenging, sometimes scary process off your shoulders.
