Trucks coming to and from the Black Warrior Coal Fields and other Alabama coal mines carry heavy loads and must keep tight schedules to meet demands. Unfortunately, in the race for coal profits, safety concerns often get overlooked. When a large coal truck is involved in an accident, the results can be catastrophic.
At Bohanan & Associates P.C., we have a proven record of success handling trucking accident cases for clients from the Birmingham area and throughout Alabama. If you or a loved one has been injured in a coal truck accident, we are here to help you pursue full and fair compensation for the losses you have suffered.

Coal Truck Accident Injuries
Coal truck accidents are different from conventional motor vehicle accidents because of the mass and speed of the vehicles involved. When an 18-wheeler carrying a full load of coal collides with another vehicle, the results are often serious and catastrophic, including serious head injuries, spinal cord injuries and, all too often, wrongful death.
Causes of Coal Truck Accidents
Coal truck accidents can happen for many reasons, including bad road conditions, driver error, faulty truck maintenance and trucking company negligence. Many drivers employed by coal companies are less experienced than drivers who operate standard commercial trucks. When an inexperienced driver gets behind the wheel of a large coal-bearing semi truck, it creates a dangerous situation for everyone on the road.
In handling a coal truck accident case, our attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the accident and to identify liable parties. We use this thorough approach to pursue maximum compensation for our clients.
