Traumatic Brain Injuries and Commercial Trucking Accidents in Alabama



Commercial trucking accidents often result in severe injuries. In Alabama, one of the most devastating injuries people sustain in these types of accidents is a traumatic brain injury (TBI). As an Alabama personal injury lawyer specializing in commercial trucking accidents, Stephen Thompson understands the complexities of these cases and the devastating impacts they can have on victims and their families.

A traumatic brain injury typically results from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. An item penetrating the skull, such as shattered pieces of a truck's windshield, can also lead to traumatic brain injuries. Unfortunately, when commercial trucks are involved, the likelihood of TBIs significantly increases due to the sheer size and weight of the vehicles. 

It’s essential to understand the profound effect TBIs can have on victims and their families. Symptoms of TBIs may not be immediately apparent following an accident, which is why seeking prompt medical attention is crucial. Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can range from mild to severe and include headaches, confusion, lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision or tired eyes, fatigue, sudden behavioral changes, and trouble with memory or concentration.

Long-term effects of TBIs can even be more serious, possibly leading to cognitive and physical disabilities or even prolonged disorders. This can lead to staggering medical bills, lengthy rehabilitation, and severe disruptions to personal and professional life, adding to the already overwhelming burden of the accident.

Given the significant impact that TBIs can have, Alabama victims of commercial truck accidents need strong legal representation to hold the responsible parties accountable and obtain the compensation they deserve. This is where Attorney Stephen Thompson steps in.

Commercial trucking accident lawsuits are complex and require an in-depth understanding of both state and federal trucking laws and regulations. Trucking companies and their insurance providers are often formidable opponents with extensive resources at their disposal to defend against liability claims.

As an experienced Alabama personal injury lawyer, Stephen Thompson knows the tactics these companies often use to avoid paying victims the damages they rightly deserve. He painstakingly investigates each case, gathering and analyzing the necessary evidence, including accident reports, medical records, truck maintenance and drivers' logs, and any available eyewitness testimony. 

Moreover, Stephen works closely with medical experts to understand the full extent of a victim’s TBI. He understands that full and fair compensation must consider not only immediate medical expenses, but also future costs for rehabilitation, ongoing care, lost earnings, and the drastic changes in the victim’s quality of life.
