Jamiel Peterson

Jamiel Peterson has committed his practice to offering top-notch representation to truck and other larger motor vehicle personal injury matters in Alabama. Working from his office at Alabama Truck Crash Lawyers, P.C., in Birmingham, Alabama, he challenges trucking company defenses and builds robust arguments for victims of 18-wheeler accidents, commercial vehicle crashes and wrongful death claims. Bringing over a decade of experience to his practice, he fights to hold trucking companies culpable and retrieve a suitable compensation for his clients.

What sets Mr. Peterson apart is his real-world trucking experience as a licensed Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holder. Spending a substantial time operating 18-wheeler trucks across Birmingham, he holds a deeper understanding of the workings of commercial trucking. This firsthand experience allows him to promptly recognize violations of federal and state regulations, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration safety standards and negligent driving practices.

Regardless of where the accident occurs, Mr. Peterson understands the immense pressure drivers face, the approaches a company employs and the structural failures that lead to serious accidents. Which is why he places high priority investigating the case and uncovering critical evidence. In personal injury cases, time is of the essence, so he works quickly to make sure his clients have sufficient evidence.

Before pursuing his law degree, Mr. Peterson completed his bachelor’s degree at Columbus State University. Later, in 2013, he received his Juris Doctor from Southern University Law Center. In the same year, he was admitted to the Alabama State Bar. Additionally licensed to practice law in Missouri, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama and the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, he stops at nothing to bring justice to his clients.
