Workplace Accidents Carousel

Our client suffered a catastrophic traumatic brain injury in a Texas head-on collision while on the job. After months of rehabilitation at Shepherd Center in Atlanta, we pursued both an auto accident claim and an Alabama workers’ compensation case, ultimately securing a permanent and total disability ruling that was upheld by the Alabama Supreme Court.

Our client was struck in the driver-side door when a tractor-trailer suddenly turned across the median on Highway 72 in Colbert County. The truck driver falsely claimed she caused the crash, but within 24 hours our investigative team proved he failed to yield. After filing suit, the company’s owner disappeared—later found to have been extradited through Interpol—and the case ultimately settled for policy limits.

Our client was on his way to work when a log truck pulled out of a quick mart without yielding, causing a crash that left him with a broken hip, a displaced femur fracture, and a fractured ankle. We immediately filed suit and sent investigators to secure evidence establishing fault. Depositions revealed the driver had recently been fired for failing a drug test, and the trucking company ignored Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations—failing to contact prior employers, obtain a pre-employment drug screen, or conduct a post-accident test. The case settled at mediation.

Our client suffered a severe concussion and neck injuries requiring surgery after a moving company truck failed to yield and turned in front of her in Colbert County. Although the company admitted fault, its insurer claimed her injuries were due to arthritis or should have resolved quickly. After we filed suit, discovery revealed the company had ignored key Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and should never have allowed the driver on the road. The case settled at mediation.
