Should a tractor trailer be operated by a tired driver, for example, it could be the cause of horrendous accidents – such as rollovers or T-bone accidents. In these cases, you will not only be dealing with an individual driver – you could very well be dealing with the insurance company of a large company that will desperately want to avoid paying out a big settlement.
When a car is hit by a 18-wheeler truck, not only will a car be damaged, but serious injury or death may occur.
In fact there are more than 500,000 accidents involving large truck (including commercial box trucks and tractor-trailer combinations) in the US each year. In 2019, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) revealed that there were more than 510,000 reported crashes involving large trucks with 4,479 fatal accidents and 114,000 injury related accidents.
If a family member is killed or severely injured by an 18-wheeler accident, you need an attorney who will not only seek compensation for your family, but also who will seek to bring the responsible party to justice. A lawsuit is about seeing justice done. Bagby Law will always follow the direction of its clients. If a client wants justice and her day in Court, the attorneys at Bagby Law will make sure they get it. Money does not drive our firm, our clients do.
For example an exhausted 18 wheeler may have been sent on a dangerous, icy route by a dispatcher because it is shorter even though the dispatcher knows that it is more dangerous because of the weather conditions. In that scenario the dispatch company holds just as much if not more blame than the driver whose 18 wheeler slid into an innocent family causing serious and devastating injuries.

We deal with the insurance companies so you don’t have to.
When an individual gets injured in an accident as a result of a negligent act, it falls on the negligent party’s insurance provider to determine to what extent they will cover the costs of any medical or injury related expenses. From the time the insurance company is notified of a claim, they are building their case to pay you as little as possible. Every statement will be used to accomplish their goals. In order to avoid the serious threat of under-compensation for your injuries, it is essential that you hire a knowledgeable attorney that will fight to ensure all your needs, present and future, are addressed in your claim.
Engaging an experienced personal injury attorney from the beginning can be crucial for the outcome of your case.

Negligence is one of the most important aspects of a personal injury case. In fact, it is what an entire claim is based on. Negligence is what causes the accident you were injured in in the first place. A person can be is negligent when he fails to act in a way that a reasonably careful person would act in the same situation. In the legal field, proving negligence has four aspects. First, the individual accused of negligence must have owed the injured individual a duty of care. Second, they must have violated that duty. Third, that breach directly caused the injury. Fourth and finally, that the damage from the injury is provable. If all four elements are met, an individual may be accused of negligence.

When you try to reach a settlement for your personal injury case, you are essentially making an agreement before going to trial. This is done when one party, either the defendant or the insurance company, offers a certain monetary payment in hopes of avoiding going to court. Reaching a settlement can be beneficial in some situations. However, you must be wary of individuals and insurance companies that are trying to lowball you. If you are not sure if the settlement that is offered to you is appropriate, you should hire an attorney. A legal professional will be able to help you determine whether or not you would receive full coverage by accepting their offer.
