West Palm Beach Truck Accident Lawyer

Truck Accident in a Highway Time spent on the road can and should be leisurely, without fear of death or of injury. Unfortunately, the reality of the road is that not everyone is going to be paying attention one-hundred percent of the time. Negligence exists, it’s part of human nature. One moment we may be paying attention to the road, another moment may be thinking about something else entirely, and will only be barely paying attention to what’s happening in front of us.

For truck drivers, this is something that can happen after many long hours of driving from state to state. Sleep deprivation, and the constant almost hypnotic view of a road that never seems to change can drive even the most experienced drivers to moments of inattention. A normal inattentive driver can be hazardous, but a truck driver is something that could be downright disastrous.

I had a slip and fall whilst living in Miami. Alfie took my case on, even though I moved back to the UK shortly after. I recently received settlement. Alfie and his team are very friendly and professional. They kept me informed and up to date with how things were progressing. I would highly recommend them. Tracy

Very important to know... I called 4 different law offices and each of them told me that they could not help me since they only work with people who can get money from others when they have an accident... For the last time I decided to call Woodson & Leon, and the secretary quickly told me, I am going to send you to the lawyer to answer any questions about my concern and the lawyer quickly helped me without any interest… Thank you for your kindness… Hector
