Motor Carrier Liability
A significant portion of the firm’s work is dedicated to the defense of commercial motor carriers and drivers. We recognize that trucking companies are a favorite target of the plaintiff’s bar. Consequently, our attorneys possess an intimate familiarity with the federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. In each case, we make it a priority to carefully consider the potential for claims of negligent hiring, negligent retention, negligent entrustment, and driver fatigue.
The firm offers 24-hour emergency response for serious trucking accidents throughout the Southeast. In so doing, we partner with investigators and accident reconstruction experts that we have hand-picked for their knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness. Our ultimate goal is to preserve evidence of the accident — to include physical evidence of the scene and involved vehicles along with establishing contact with all necessary witnesses — as quickly as possible so that all parties, and potentially a jury, will have the best possible understanding of how each accident truly occurred.
