Large Truck Collisions Not Just Big Car
Accidents
Many inexperienced lawyers make the mistake of treating collisions
with 18 wheelers or other large trucks as a big car accident.
That is one of the worst mistakes a lawyer can make. In many
cases involving truck litigation, the trucking company went to
work within minutes of the accident to document evidence in the
light most favorable to the company.
Laird, Baker & Blackstock has experience
representing horribly injured clients in cases involving large
trucks. Such cases require expertise in DOT or Federal Motor
Safety Act violations and many times require meticulous reconstruction.
We have a history of aggressively pursuing the documents and
evidence to prove liability, and we have a history of recovering
the damages our clients deserve for medical treatment, pain and
suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and lost income.
Single Car Accidents
Just because an accident only involved a single car, many times
factors other than driver error contribute to the accident. The
news of Toyota cars careening out of control due to uncontrollable
accelerators is a well known example.
Not only is it important to recognize such product liability
factors to provide compensation for deserving injured clients,
it is also important to the removal of defective products from
the marketplace.
In today’s times, many politicians
and others enjoy bashing trial lawyers. But if it were not
for trial lawyers, Ford Pintos would still be exploding in
low speed rear-end collisions and children would still be burned
up in flammable pajamas.
We have the experience, knowledge and
training to investigate potential product liability cases involving
serious injury ---at no cost to you for a consultation and
evaluation. And if we pursue your case, you won’t owe
us a dime unless we recover in such cases.
Construction Zone Accidents
Most of us are familiar with the “Fines Doubled” signs
in highway construction zones, indicating if you are stopped
for speeding during “Men at Work” hours that your
fine will be double the normal fine. But just as defective products
sometimes cause accidents and injury, so do unsafe construction
zones and defective road construction.
Wes Laird has handled cases involving defective road construction
and unsafe construction zones resulting in serious injury.
All single car and multiple car accidents in construction zones
involving serious injury or death should be evaluated for construction
defects or unsafe conditions.
Call Laird, Baker & Blackstock for
prompt and free evaluation of such cases. Time is important
in doing a prompt investigation.
Timing of Investigation
In all accidents involving serious injury
or death, Laird, Baker & Blackstock moves rapidly to conduct its investigation
of the facts. This is critical to prevent the destruction or
spoliation of evidence. If you or your family member is in a
serious car accident, even a single car accident, call Laird,
Baker & Blackstock for a free consultation and evaluation
of the case.
We will engage necessary experts and conduct a thorough investigation
to ensure the insurance companies, construction companies, large
trucking companies, or other large corporations at fault do not
gain an unfair advantage.
If you are unable to travel or come to the office, we will
come to you. Remember, if there is no recovery, you will not
owe us anything.
Prescription Drug and Medical Device Litigation
Wes Laird has been involved in a number of mass tort and class
actions, including litigation of Sixteenth Section Trust Lands,
which resulted in a $41 Million settlement on behalf of school
systems in the State of Alabama. Wes has represented small business
owners who were scammed by big business. Most recently, he represented
66 clients injured or killed from smoking, recovering in the
Engle Trust Fund litigation in Florida.
Many prescription drugs and medical devices are causing death
and serious injury. Go to our prescription drug and medical device
page for a partial list of drugs and devices we are evaluating
for potential injury or death. Or call us if you or a family
member has suffered a serious medical condition that may have
been caused by a prescription drug or medical device. Evaluations
of such cases are always free of charge.
