18-Wheeler Accidents and Railroad Collisions
Kentucky Tractor-Trailer Accident and Railroad Collision Lawyers
Tractor-trailer accident cases can be quite complex. Since 1988, the attorneys of Garmer & O'Brien have been dedicated to sorting through the most complicated personal injury and wrongful death cases. Our dedicated lawyers and staff help clients resolve their disputes in Kentucky's courts.
Protecting the people and families of Kentucky
We have successfully managed cases arising from accidents on or near major roadways across Kentucky, including I-75, I-64, I-65, U.S. 23, and the Bluegrass, Mountain, and Western Kentucky Parkways, as well as the coal roads of eastern Kentucky and farm roads of western Kentucky.
At Garmer & O'Brien, we represent victims of all types of tractor-trailer accidents, including those involving:
- An overturned truck blocking the roadway
- Truck tipping due to improper loading or oversized loads
- Underride accidents
- Speeding or reckless truck driving
- Improper braking due to maintenance errors
- Trucks illegally parked on the side of the road
From coal truck accidents to overturned semis, litigation involving 18-wheelers is often complex. In addition to the many variables that contribute to any crash investigation, these accidents involve specific federal, state, and local regulations. We understand these regulations, and know how to expose the improper practices that some truckers and trucking companies routinely use to avoid complying with these regulations.
Railroad Collisions
We also represent clients who have been injured in a collision with a train or railroad car. We are equipped to pursue cases involving grade crossing collisions, people who have been struck on railroad tracks, and other types of railroad accidents. We take a team approach to all of our cases. In addition to our group of skilled lawyers, we enlist the services of industry experts, investigators, engineers, accident reconstructionists, and medical and rehabilitation professionals.
Our attorneys develop legal strategies by methodically gathering and examining the many relevant facts behind a railroad collision or tractor-trailer accident. When a case goes to trial, our extensive preparation allows us to provide the jury with a clear explanation of our client's catastrophic injuries.
