      What To Do After Being Hit by a Truck<\/strong><\/h2>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      • Get medical treatment immediately<\/strong> \u2013 even if injuries seem minor.<\/li>
      • Call the police<\/strong> and ensure a report is filed.<\/li>
      • Document everything<\/strong> \u2013 photos, witness names, vehicle damage.<\/li>
      • Avoid speaking to the trucking company\u2019s insurer<\/strong> \u2013 they are not on your side.<\/li>
      • Contact The Ford Firm quickly<\/strong> \u2013 evidence like black-box data can disappear if not secured.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

        \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

        Who May Be Held Responsible?<\/strong><\/h2>

        Trucking accidents often involve multiple liable parties:<\/p>

        • Truck driver<\/strong> \u2013 speeding, fatigue, distracted driving, or impairment.<\/li>
        • Trucking company<\/strong> \u2013 failing to maintain vehicles, pressuring drivers to exceed hours of service, negligent hiring.<\/li>
        • Cargo loaders<\/strong> \u2013 improperly balanced or unsecured loads.<\/li>
        • Manufacturers\/maintenance providers<\/strong> \u2013 defective parts or poor repair work.<\/li><\/ul>

          Because Alabama follows contributory negligence<\/strong>, even being 1% at fault can bar recovery. That\u2019s why proving full responsibility against the trucking side is critical.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
