Founding Partner at Bachus & Schanker (Established 1996), Attorney J. Kyle Bachus is a legal expert known nationally for the very significant results he achieves for families confronting the aftermath of truck wrecks and catastrophic injuries. Mr. Bachus’ mission is the relentless pursuit of accountability and justice for innocent families whose lives have been forever changed by the negligent and reckless actions of truck drivers and operators.
Mr. Bachus has dedicated his career to supporting innocent victims and holding negligent truck drivers and truck operating companies accountable, after his own mother was struck and killed by a concrete-mixer truck.
Mr. Bachus’ personal mission is to make certain that the truck driver, the truck operating company, and their insurance company know your family’s story and clearly understand the full scope of the devastation their actions have caused.

Mr. Bachus’ mission remains simple: to force the involved trucking company to make necessary safety changes while aggressively pursuing a level of financial accountability that will ensure that the involved truck driver and trucking company never injure or kill another person again!
