Rain, fog, and storms don’t remove a driver’s responsibility to operate safely. In bad weather, drivers must slow down, turn on headlights, and maintain control. If they fail to adapt to road conditions, they may still be held liable for resulting injuries. Commercial drivers face even higher standards. Injured in a weather-related crash? Let Bill…

Truck crashes often stem from preventable driver errors — speeding, fatigue, distracted driving, improper following distance, and failure to inspect the vehicle are among the top causes. Because 18-wheelers carry enormous weight, even a split-second mistake can cause life-altering injuries. At Bill Kennedy Law, we analyze logbooks, black box data, maintenance records, and dashcams to…

When an 18-wheeler collides with a passenger vehicle, the damages are often catastrophic. Medical bills skyrocket, injuries last a lifetime, and victims face lost wages or permanent disability. That’s why settlements in semi-truck cases are typically much higher than those in standard car wrecks. These cases also involve multiple defendants, from drivers to trucking companies…
Most people don’t realize that modern 18-wheelers carry “black boxes,” just like airplanes. These devices record speed, braking, steering, and driver hours leading up to a crash. In truck accident cases, black box data can be the single most important piece of evidence. Trucking companies often fight hard to keep this data hidden because it…
