Alabama 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer
Serious Crashes, Serious Representation
Truck crashes change lives in an instant on I-65 near Hoover, I-10 across Mobile Bay, or Highway 98 through Baldwin County. The Noel B. Leonard Law Office accepts a select number of trucking cases in Alabama and brings the resources needed to stand up to commercial carriers.
Why Truck Accidents Are Different
Liability can involve the driver, the trucking company, maintenance contractors, or shippers. Federal rules govern hours of service, inspections, and load securement. Key evidence includes driver logs, electronic control module data, dash cameras, and post-crash inspections. Noel moves quickly to demand preservation of evidence and to level the field.
Common Causes of Truck Crashes
Driver Fatigue
Missed rest breaks and long shifts lead to delayed reactions.
Unsecured or Oversized Loads
Shifting cargo causes jackknifes and rollovers.
Brake or Equipment Failure
Poor maintenance increases stopping distances.
Driver Error and Training Gaps
Improper lane changes and distraction have outsized consequences in a big rig.
Devastating Injuries and Losses
Trucking collisions often involve traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, multiple fractures, and fatalities. Families need medical resources, wage replacement, and long-term care. Noel builds claims that account for the true cost of recovery.
