The Attorneys
Attorney
30 years as a plaintiffs’ trial attorney, with nationally recognized expertise in federal trucking safety regulations.

A mechanical engineer and trial attorney who understands how commercial vehicle crashes happen, and how to prove it.

A dedicated advocate for people injured in trucking accidents and the families who depend on them.
Why Choose Us
Trucking accidents are different from regular car crashes. A fully loaded semi-truck can weigh up to 20 times more than a passenger car, and the companies involved have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to protect their interests right after a crash. You need a trucking accident lawyer who is prepared to fight for you from the very beginning.
Black Trucking Lawyers was built to level that playing field. Our attorneys have spent their careers holding trucking companies, freight carriers, and their insurers accountable. We understand the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) that govern the trucking industry, and we know how to use them to prove responsibility and build the strongest possible case.
Our firm was built by and for the communities we serve. We offer more than legal skill; we understand what our clients go through, both on the road and in the legal system.

FAQ
Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Some injuries don’t show symptoms right away. If possible, take photos of the scene, get the truck driver’s information and their company’s name, and avoid giving a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with a truck accident lawyer.
Every state sets its own deadline. In Georgia and Ohio, for example, you usually have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Deadlines can also change depending on your situation, so talk to an attorney soon to protect your rights.
Responsibility for a truck accident can go beyond the driver. It might include the trucking company, cargo loaders, maintenance providers, or parts manufacturers, depending on what happened. A skilled truck accident lawyer will investigate all possible sources of liability in your case.
Every case is different. A case’s value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, lost income, medical expenses, and the trucking company’s degree of negligence. A free case review with our team can help you understand the factors that apply to your situation.
Trucking accidents are more complex because they involve federal rules, large companies, and important evidence like black box and ELD data that must be saved quickly. These cases need lawyers who know how to handle trucking companies and their unique challenges.
You deserve legal representation you can trust: attorneys who understand your community and are personally invested in your fight for justice. Our team combines that commitment with decades of national trial experience against trucking companies and their insurers.
Every state sets a deadline to file a personal injury claim, and evidence like black box and ELD data can disappear much sooner. Tell us what happened and we will explain your options.
