Why should I choose Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm for my Arkansas semi-truck/tractor-trailer accident?
Broker liability is a new form of recovery. Most lawyers are either unfamiliar with this recovery or have never handled such a case. Our founder, attorney Dr. Bradshaw helped a family increase their recovery from $1 million on the basis of insurance to a total recovery of $11 million based upon Broker Liability. Dr. Bradshaw teaches attorneys throughout the United States the finer points of successfully handling Broker Liability cases.
A semi-truck wreck caused the death of a man in a passenger car. The insurance offered the attorney handling the case $1 million as a settlement. The attorney called Dr. Bradshaw for assistance and we found an additional $1 million in hidden insurance that the company hid from the original attorney. We settled the case for the total of $2 million.
An injured party fired their attorney, who told them the most they would get is about $350,000. The client hired our firm, on behalf of our client we rejected the lower offers, took the case to trial, and obtained a verdict for our client for $2.4 million dollars.
4. Medical Expertise and Specialization
A truck driver who was rear-ended by another truck driver sustained a back injury. The insurance company first offered $150,000 in compensation, but Dr. Bradshaw was able to contact one of the best spinal surgeons in the world to evaluate the client. With this additional medical information and our tenacity with trucking cases, we settled the case for close to $1 million.
A client was severely injured in a personal injury case. The case was settled for $25 million and our fee was only 25%. Compared to lawyers who charge 40% at that same stage, the fee alone saved our client $3.75 million.
When we work with an Arkansas lawyer, we pay them out of our fee, there is NEVER a hidden fee and there is NEVER an extra fee. The contract will set out the total fee clearly from the beginning.
What should I do if I’ve been injured in a semi-truck accident?
Medical Care: It’s important to seek medical attention with health care specialists. Your health is more important than anything else, so in some cases Dr. Bradshaw can help you find a top health care clinic or physician. We’ve put clients in contact with the Craig Hospital for spinal cord and brain injuries and physicians who perform osseous integration for amputees, among many others. In addition to caring for your health, seeking appropriate medical care when you are injured proves to the insurance companies and juries that your injuries are genuine.
Photographs: Photographs are a top priority proving the severity of the wreck. You absolutely will benefit from having photographs of the property damage before your vehicle is destroyed.
Documentation: It’s good practice to document every single thing related to the wreck and your injuries. Document all of your medical providers, your appointments, and if necessary document reasons for any missed follow-up appointments. Courts may reduce your recovery amount if they feel you failed to mitigate your damages through appropriate care, and documentation proves the veracity of your claims.

What kind of injuries are covered in semi-truck injury cases?
Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm works hard to ensure recovery on all injuries and damages incurred during the accident. We focus on economic recovery for things like medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, and anything else that can be put down on paper with a figure.
Non-economic recovery is for pain and suffering, loss of companionship, loss of enjoyment in life, and other more abstract damages that greatly impact your life.
When should I hire Dr. Brad Bradshaw's Law Firm truck Injury lawyer?
The more quickly you bring on an attorney the better off you will be in your case. Trucking companies are able to begin destroying GPS data evidence just 7 days after the accident and after 6 months, federal law allows them to destroy logbooks. This evidence is often proof of illegal activity in instances of accidents.
Trust our expertise in trucking law. If you speak to an attorney who believes semi-truck cases are just “big” car wreck cases, that’s a red flag.
We emphasize to our clients that large trucks are subject to special rules and regulations, referred to as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Rules (FMCSRs). The attorneys with Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm understand these complex and comprehensive rules governing truckers, trucking companies, insurance companies, which is essential for a maximum gross recovery for your damages.
For example, FMCSRs allow trucking companies to begin destroying records before the statute of limitations expires. This includes the fact they can destroy GPS tracking records after just 7 days. You want to seek qualified legal representation as soon as possible so they can send a “spoliation/preservation” letter to the trucking company requesting they do not destroy any records. This letter allows us to hold them accountable for destruction which occurs after the company receives it. Destroying evidence after the letter allows us to make an adverse inference that the evidence would have proven guilt on the part of the trucker or trucking company.
Dr. Brad Bradshaw is undefeated in semi-truck cases and has taught other lawyers throughout the United States, including lawyers in Arkansas, about these complex rules and regulations, as well as other aspects of semi-truck and tractor-trailer injury cases. In fact, Dr. Bradshaw was elected as Chairman of America’s Trucking Litigation Group, which has members across the US. Trust our team to work with the most qualified and successful Arkansas trucking attorneys so you get the best legal team possible. When you reach out, we immediately begin investigating your claim to determine liability, insurance coverage, and so much more.
If needed we obtain police and highway accident reports, including photos if they exist, before contacting witnesses and sometimes an accident reconstructionist to take pictures and measurements of the scene. All of this strengthens your claim and recovery against trucking insurance companies.
