Rachel Batrum 18 Wheeler Accident

Rachel Batrum of Athens, Alabama won benefits for a lifetime after she was injured by a truck driver who had violated D.O.T. and F.M.C.S.R. rules and had a history of exceeding safe “hours of service.”

The insurance company for the driver of the 18 wheeler made an offer that would hardly pay my medical bills. After Mr. Wolfe took the case, he aggressively pursued information about the truck driver and his driving habits. Mr. Wolfe discovered that the driver of the 18 wheeler exceeded his driving time or what is known as “hours of service” under the Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Carriers Safety Regulations (FMCSR). He also discovered that the driver had not been properly trained.

These violations may have occurred in other cases. If you or someone you know were injured in a trucking accident, do not settle with insurance companies until your case is screened for violations and you know all the facts from a trucking accident lawyer.
