Alabama truck accident lawyers prepared for big-rig battles
Truck crashes are different
More weight, more rules, more at stake
Collisions with 18-wheelers and commercial trucks often cause catastrophic injuries, and trucking companies have teams that respond immediately to protect their interests. These cases involve federal regulations, maintenance records, driver hours, and corporate insurance policies that are far more complex than a typical car wreck.
Maxwell Tillman Firm LLC takes on trucking companies across Birmingham, the I-20/59 corridor, and rural routes through the Black Belt where commercial traffic is heavy and medical access can be limited.
Common causes we see
How trucking negligence shows up
Truck accidents are often tied to preventable issues like driver fatigue, speeding, overloaded trailers, improper lane changes, poor maintenance, and unsafe hiring or training. Some crashes also involve defective parts or braking systems. We look at every angle, including the driver, the company, and any third parties that played a role.
Our approach
A full investigation from day one
We secure crash reports, video, witness statements, and trucking data before it disappears. That includes driver logs, inspection records, and black-box information. We work with reconstruction experts when needed and build the case with trial in mind.
When the
trucking insurer tries to shift blame, we counter it with facts and a clear story of fault.
Short answers to urgent questions
Should I talk to the trucking company’s insurer
Not before legal guidance. Their questions are built to reduce your claim.
Who can be held responsible
Liability may fall on the driver, the company, a maintenance contractor, or a manufacturer depending on what caused the crash.
How much does a truck accident lawyer cost
Most truck crash cases are handled on contingency, so you owe no attorney fee unless we win compensation for you.
