Western Kentucky 18-Wheeler & Semi-Truck Accident Lawyers
Holding Big Trucking Companies Accountable for Catastrophic Injuries
When an 80,000-pound semi-truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are life-altering. At Housman, Garatt, Duncan & Mann, we know that these are not "standard" car accidents. They are high-stakes legal battles against corporate trucking fleets and their aggressive insurance teams.
Based in Paducah, our attorneys provide the sophisticated, heavy-hitting representation required to secure the maximum compensation for victims throughout Western Kentucky.
Our Urgent Promise: We move immediately to preserve evidence. No fee unless we win.
Common Causes of Commercial Trucking Wrecks
We handle complex litigation involving tractor-trailers, delivery vans, and industrial vehicles caused by:
- Driver Fatigue & Overwork: Pressure to meet deadlines often leads to dangerous exhaustion.
- Improper Loading: Overloaded or poorly secured freight that causes rollovers or jackknifes.
- Negligent Maintenance: Brake failures, tire blowouts, and mechanical defects that should have been caught in inspection.
- Distracted or Impaired Driving: Speeding, cell phone use, or driving under the influence of stimulants.
Seeking Maximum Compensation for Your Losses
Because trucking companies carry multi-million dollar commercial policies, the stakes are significantly higher. We work with medical experts, accident reconstructionists, and vocational specialists to pursue:
- Current & Future Medical Expenses: Including surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
- Lost Wages & Earning Capacity: Replacing the income you’ve lost and the career growth you’ve been denied.
- Pain & Suffering: Accounting for the physical and emotional trauma of a catastrophic wreck.
Wrongful Death Damages: If you have lost a loved one, we fight for justice for their estate and your family.

- 95+ Years of Combined Experience: We know the local courts, the judges, and the tactics used by national trucking insurers.
- Direct Attorney Access: You are not a file number. You will speak directly with your attorney, ensuring your case gets the personal attention it deserves.
