Winning Our Clients Fair Compensation Since 2012
When a large truck collides with a smaller vehicle or pedestrian, the results are almost always catastrophic. The injuries sustained are often severe and result in life-long disabilities or death.

We understand that money cannot resolve disabilities or bring a loved back, but financial compensation can go a long way toward achieving the best quality of life possible.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Birmingham
Almost all truck accidents have one thing in common: they could have been avoided if the driver had engaged in safe driving practices, and the roads were well maintained. At Montgomery Ponder, we perform a detailed investigation into each truck accident to discover who caused the accident and hold them legally accountable for their actions.
Some of the common causes of truck accidents include:
- The truck driver was fatigued and had driven over the legal limit of daily driving hours
- Drunk or reckless driving
- Unbalanced or poorly loaded trailers
- Poor truck maintenance
- Faulty or worn-out braking systems
- Poorly trained truck drivers
- Other reckless drivers on the road that cause a multiple-vehicle collision
- Poor road conditions
How is Liability Determined in a Truck Accident?
Truck accidents or other commercial vehicle accidents are different from regular passenger vehicle accidents because they often involve several different levels of liability. For example, in a truck accident you may be able to hold any of the following parties responsible for your injuries, depending on what caused the accident:
- The Truck Driver
- The Trucking Company
- The Manufacturer or Cargo Company
- The Cargo Loaders
Determining liability and who should be responsible to pay for your damages can be a complicated process. Let us help you.
