TRACTOR TRAILER ACCIDENTS

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.

CAR ACCIDENTS

Every day, hundreds of drivers, pedestrians, bikers and passengers sustain injury or die in car accidents. Even low-speed accidents can kill or maim people, and the path to physical, mental and financial recovery is long. But resources are available, and our attorneys are fierce advocates.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact Little Law Office today. A motorcycle accident is often more treacherous than an auto accident; there is no such thing as a fender bender when a motorcycle accident occurs. These accidents can involve serious injuries and have devastating results.

 

Victims of motorcycle accidents have the same rights as any other injury victim. It is an urban legend that motorcycle accidents are not covered by insurance companies because of the risk involved in operating one of these vehicles. Victims of motorcycle accidents have the same rights to compensation as any other injury victim.

 

If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, you should contact an attorney who is experienced in these types of cases. Our attorneys will protect your rights and make sure that you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

SLIP AND FALL CASES

Slip and fall accidents do not just happen by chance; they happen as a result of negligence and ignoring the safety standards that are required by law. Slip and fall accidents are considered premise liability cases, which require the expertise of a skilled slip and fall attorney.

 

When a property owner does not properly care for and maintain his or her property, the situation can result in a tragic slip and fall accident. These situations can seem hopeless as you fight to prove liability of the property owner or manager. Little Law Office has handled several slip and fall accidents and would be happy to speak to you about your case.

DOG BITE CASES

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. Dog bites are the second most common cause of childhood injury, surpassing playground accidents. The majority of dog bite injuries towards children involved the face and can result in disfigurement.

 

According to the law, dog owners are responsible for their dog’s actions and homeowner’s insurance will pay for the damages. If you or someone you know has been injured by a dog, you may be entitled to compensation. Little Law Office helps dog bite victims like you through the legal process.

In instances that negligence causes the death of a family member or loved one, the surviving family members will have to file a wrongful death claim to secure compensation for their loss.

A wrongful death case can be stressful and tedious without having reliable legal representation.

The laws associated with wrongful death claims have the purpose to compensate the survivors and help them carry on.
