Since trucking companies are notified within minutes of the commercial truck wreck, they use that knowledge to gain a huge advantage over the injured automobile crash victim’s lawyer. In fact, Goliath wants the battle to be one-sided. Therefore, he has a team of defense attorneys and experts at…
I don’t need to tell you that football is popular in the Great State of Alabama. We just so happen to be Paul “Bear” Bryant, Nick Saban, and University of Alabama football fans, but you also have the Auburn University Tigers and Troy University Trojans in the state,…
