Truck Accidents

Helping the injured recover financial compensation

Commercial trucks drive on Mississippi’s roads and highways every day, carrying cargo to their destination. But when one of these trucks causes an accident, the result can be very serious and sometimes fatal injuries. The people hurt are often left struggling to pay for their medical expenses. A truck accident lawyer at Tabor Law Firm, P.A. can fight for their rights.

18-wheeler and tractor-trailer accident cases are significantly more complex than typical automobile accident claims. Injuries stemming from truck accidents can be quite devastating and often result in paralysis, spinal cord injuries, and even death. The other parties involved in a claim can include the truck driver, the trucking company, and their insurance carriers.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident or you have lost a loved one due to the negligence of a truck driver, you may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, impairment, medical bills, property damage, automobile repairs, and disfigurement. But it’s important to have an experienced lawyer on your side.

How we can help

Our personal injury attorneys have been helping clients in greater Jackson and throughout Mississippi get the justice they deserve for years. We understand that collisions involving tractor-trailers or 18-wheelers involve gathering a significant amount of evidence and navigating a set of highly complicated Mississippi laws and regulations that can affect the validity of a claim.

Trucking companies and their insurers work quickly to have their experts investigate the accident scene and produce favorable defensive reports. Our legal team does its own investigation and seeks evidence that is in the possession of the trucking company. We know where to look for proof that negligence led to your accident.

For example, tractor-trailers are equipped with a “black box” that records a wealth of information before, during, and after accidents. Obtaining this information and having it analyzed is critical to favorable outcomes. Injury cases involving truck accidents often involve other information that needs to be investigated and developed to effectively pursue a claim.

It can take months or years to recover from injuries sustained in a truck accident. Some injuries are permanent. We will determine the true value of your case, taking into account all past and future medical needs related to your injury. We also consider how the accident has impacted your life. Many times, we are able to work with the insurance company on a negotiated settlement that meets your needs. If not, we will be prepared to fight for you in court. Contact us for a free consultation.
