Shouldering the Legal Burden
An accident involving a semi truck or other large commercial vehicle can cause devastating injuries and wrongful death, even in low-speed collisions. Victims of these accidents must deal with very difficult rehabilitation, not to mention mounting medical bills and calls from insurance companies. An experienced lawyer can help you pursue a personal injury claim to recover the compensation you need.
At the office of Charles H. Rice, Attorney at Law, I am ready to shoulder your legal burden so you can focus on recovering from your injuries. If a loved one was killed in a truck accident, I can help you pursue a wrongful death claim. At my firm, we know that no amount of compensation can replace what you have lost, but it can give you the resources you need to move forward.

Handling Complex Cases
Our area has heavy truck traffic along Interstate 20 and Highways 431 and 21, and each year there are a number of truck accidents on these and other Alabama roads. After more than 30 years handling these cases in our state, I know the local judiciary and have a good feel for juries in the area. I will use this knowledge and familiarity to help get you the compensation you need after a serious accident.
The trucking industry is governed by a set of complex federal and state regulations that are designed to keep the roads safe for all drivers. I have extensive knowledge of and ability to work within these rules for the benefit of my clients. The rules address important aspects of trucking, such as:
- Maintaining accurate drive time log books
- Ensuring drivers get enough rest
- Improper maintenance
- Lack of driver training
- Hiring of unqualified or underqualified drivers
When a trucking company or driver breaks these rules, the roadways become dangerous for all of us. I will thoroughly investigate all of the circumstances of your accident, using experts such as accident reconstructionists who can help show why and how the incident occurred. I will build a strong case and encourage the trucking company and insurance company to settle. If that is not possible, I will be ready to assert your rights in court.
