Birmingham Unsafe Lane Change Truck Accident Attorney

Fighting For Those Who Have Been Hurt By a Driver Making a Dangerous Lane Change in Alabama

Large semi-trucks pose an extreme hazard to others sharing the roadway if a truck driver makes an unsafe lane change. Birmingham is the largest city in Alabama, served by several major arteries, including Interstate Highway 20, Interstate Highway 59, Interstate Highway 65, and U.S. Route 280, all of which are heavily traveled by commercial vehicles, adding to the danger to those of us who live and work in the area.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in an accident with a large truck, it is imperative that you retain a Birmingham truck accident lawyer to help you resolve the legal issues surrounding compensation. 

We can evaluate your case immediately, at no cost to you.

Alabama Truck Accident Statistics

There were 673 truck accidents in Alabama in a recent year, with 84 fatalities. The Alabama Department of Transportation reports that truck drivers making an improper lane change, or improper lane use, is responsible for 12.8 percent of truck accidents in the state in that year – one of the most common errors leading to an impact. When any driver makes an improper lane change, the outcome is often disastrous. If the driver is operating a commercial truck, others sharing the road can be fatally injured. A heavily loaded big rig that makes an improper lane change can lead to a series of events, with several vehicles becoming involved.

Vehicle Occupants are at High Risk in Truck Accidents

A large majority of the deaths in truck accidents are passenger vehicle occupants, rather than the truck occupants. With a commercial truck weighing in at 20 or 30 times more than a regular vehicle, when the truck driver makes an unsafe lane change, the outcome can be death, or serious or catastrophic injuries.

It could not be more important that you engage the services of a qualified lawyer in Alabama. Your interests must be protected by an attorney that knows how to negotiate with these companies and get results.
