Although any motor vehicle crash has the potential to cause serious injury and even death, collisions with tractor-trailers account for a huge number of fatal accidents. The reason is simple. When an 80,000-pound truck slams into a passenger car, the results are usually catastrophic. At Little Law Office, we help people who have been gravely injured in tractor-trailer collisions. We also assist families pursuing wrongful death claims against truck drivers, their carriers and their insurance companies.

Although the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration places heavy regulations on truck drivers and carriers, both owners and operators often disregard these rules in favor of making money. Carriers push their drivers to ignore rules governing maximum driving hours. Operators drive with overloaded and unbalanced freight. When trucking companies and their drivers put profits before safety, innocent people get hurt and sometimes killed. At Little Law Office, we are a strong voice for innocent people hurt by corporate greed. We speak up for the families suffering unspeakable loss.

As personal injury trial lawyers, our practice is devoted to pursuing justice for the injured. We never represent insurance companies. We will handle cases in a wide range of trucking accidents, including:

• Overloaded tractor-trailers
• Tailgating
• Hours of service violations
• Driver distraction
• Drug and alcohol abuse
• Speeding
• Defective equipment, such as brakes and tires
• Unlicensed and untrained drivers
• Falsified log records
• Failure to inspect and maintain

If you have been injured in a tractor-trailer collision, it is important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. State law sets limits on how much time you have to file a lawsuit. It is also critical to your case to begin gathering evidence while it is still fresh in your mind and at the scene. To learn more about our tractor-trailer collision practice and to speak to an attorney who can help, call us at (270) 821-0711.

Dog Bites are common and a serious problem for victims. If you’ve suffered a dog bite, you need a strong attorney on your side. The cost of dog bites is estimated to exceed one billion dollars per year. Unfortunately, the problem is steadily growing.

Sadly, about half the victims are children, with the most likely target being between the ages of 5 and 9.
