PERSONAL REPRESENTATION… THAT’S OUR PROMISE!

Trucks are dangerous, especially big rigs and tractor-trailers. A crash involving a tractor-trailer may result in permanent life changing injuries and even death. It is important to obtain experienced attorneys who understand trucking regulations and trucking accidents, since these cases are complex.

At the law firm of Flora Templeton Stuart we have experience representing trucking accident victims and their families in Kentucky, where we are licensed, while we have represented clients throughout the country to include Arkansas, Alabama, Pennsylvania and Indiana in trucking accidents for the seriously injured in semi-truck cases. We will put 35 years of experience, along with our experts and professionals to collect the damages you deserve.

Our law firm understands the complexities of trucking regulations and the need to investigate immediately after a collision with a semi-truck so we can hold the responsible parties responsible who may include the trucking company, truck driver, truck loaders, truck owner, trailer owner, leasors, employers and manufacturers.

As soon as you retain us, we immediately send our team of investigators to the scene to photograph, interview witnesses, and if necessary retain professional engineers to re-construct the accident. We notify the trucking companies and insurance companies, along with the responsible parties, while we preserve the evidence. This is crucial when representing clients in semi-truck and tractor-trailer accidents.

Driver fatique, drug or alcohol abuse, improper driver training, improper inspections, unsafe working conditions, blind-spots, negligent driving, speeding, inappropriate lane changes are the most common causes of trucking accidents.

Call us immediately at our office twenty-four hours a day/seven days a week if you or your loved one has been injured in a trucking accident so we can personally represent you. Do not speak with anyone about your accident until you have consulted your attorney. Time is crucial. The sooner we investigate, the more evidence we can preserve to obtain maximum recovery for our injured clients.
