Large Truck Accidents
Serving Since 1973
Accidents involving large commercial trucks and tractor-trailers are among the most serious on highways throughout Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Because of the size and weight of these vehicles — often up to 80,000 pounds — collisions can lead to catastrophic injuries or fatalities. The King Firm represents victims and families affected by truck accidents across the Southeast, using proven legal strategies to uncover negligence and secure full, fair compensation.
Our attorneys are currently licensed in the state of Alabama, but may enter cases in other states via pro hac vice admission, subject to state statutes, professional standards, and court rules.

Understanding the Dangers of Large Trucks
Tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, and delivery trucks require careful operation and maintenance. Most also require strict specialty licensing for truck operators. When companies or drivers fail to meet their legal responsibilities, the results can be devastating. Common causes of truck accidents include:
-
Driver fatigue or distracted driving
-
Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo
-
Inadequate vehicle maintenance or brake failure
-
Speeding or reckless driving
-
Intoxicated or impaired driving
-
Violation of federal hours-of-service regulations
Unlike passenger vehicle accidents, truck accident cases involve complex layers of liability — including drivers, trucking companies, logistics contractors, and equipment manufacturers.
Damages and Compensation
Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to damages for:
-
Medical treatment and rehabilitation
-
Lost wages and loss of future earning potential
-
Pain and suffering
-
Permanent disability or disfigurement
-
Wrongful death in fatal accidents
Because trucking companies and insurers are well-funded and aggressive, victims need attorneys who can match their resources and resolve. The King Firm provides that level of advocacy.

Your stories
Alli B.
Jasper AL
My name is Alli. When I was 16, I was involved in a car accident late on a Friday night as I was heading home from hanging out with my friends. It was one of the scariest moments of my life and left me hurt and afraid to drive for quite some time. When I called The King Firm, they spent a bunch of time with me so they could understand not only what happened during the accident, but how I felt and how my healing was coming along. They worked diligently on my case and fought for the justice I needed to move on with my life. Their hard work led to a successful resolution of my case. I would send any of my friends or family members to Jimmy King and his team because I know they will be in the best hands.
Federal and State Trucking Regulations
Commercial trucks are governed by both federal and state regulations designed to protect public safety. The King Firm has extensive experience interpreting these rules, including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), which outline strict standards for maintenance, driver training, and required rest periods.
Our attorneys know how to uncover violations of these laws — often the key to proving negligence and securing compensation for victims.
