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.
