18-Wheeler and
Commercial Truck Accidents
Collisions involving tractor-trailers and commercial vehicles often result in severe injury due to the size and weight of the vehicles involved. These cases may involve complex issues such as:
-
Federal trucking regulations
-
Driver fatigue and logbook violations
-
Improper vehicle maintenance
-
Employer liability
-
Multiple insurance carriers
Early investigation is critical in commercial trucking cases, as evidence can be lost or altered if not preserved promptly.
Nursing Home Negligence
Nursing home residents are entitled to appropriate medical care, supervision, and protection from harm. Negligence in these settings can result in:
-
Pressure ulcers
-
Falls and fractures
-
Medication errors
-
Dehydration or malnutrition
-
Failure to respond to medical emergencies
When facilities fail to meet the required standard of care, legal accountability may follow.

Alabama follows a contributory negligence rule, which can bar recovery if a plaintiff is found to be at fault. Because this standard is strict, thorough investigation and case preparation are essential.
