Big-rig crashes produce catastrophic forces. Dr. Gregory Mayfield — 31+ years, former police officer, MVA expert witness — treats severe spinal and neck injuries and produces the thorough documentation your high-stakes truck-accident claim demands.
A loaded commercial semi-truck can outweigh a passenger car by 20 to 1. The forces that transfer through your spine and soft tissue in that collision are orders of magnitude beyond a typical fender-bender. Disc herniations, severe whiplash, nerve damage, and compression fractures are common outcomes — and they often don't announce themselves fully for 24–72 hours after impact.
Equally important: trucking companies and their insurers move quickly to limit liability after an accident. Multiple parties may be responsible — the driver, the carrier, a leasing company, a freight broker — and each carries separate commercial insurance policies governed by federal FMCSA regulations. Your injury record is not just medical evidence; it is the cornerstone of a complex, high-value claim. Dr. Mayfield understands both sides of that equation.
High-force rear impacts compress and hyperextend the cervical spine in ways that can tear ligaments and destabilize vertebrae — beyond what standard whiplash protocols address.
The sudden axial load from a truck collision can rupture lumbar and cervical discs, causing radiating nerve pain, weakness, and numbness that requires structured treatment.
Non-surgical decompression relieves pressure on injured discs and compressed nerve roots — an important option when surgery should be a last resort.
Mid- and lower-back injuries from seatbelt restraint forces and cabin intrusion are common in large-truck crashes and frequently overlooked in emergency-room triage.
Most chiropractors treat injuries. Dr. Mayfield also understands how those injuries are evaluated, disputed, and decided in court. As a former police officer, he reads accident mechanics the way investigators do. As an established MVA expert witness who has worked with attorneys and insurers across Louisiana, he documents injuries to an evidentiary standard — the kind that holds up when commercial trucking insurers push back.
He works directly with personal-injury attorneys, accepts attorney liens (no upfront payment required), and can provide expert testimony when your case demands it. If you were injured on the I-20 corridor or anywhere in Northeast Louisiana or Ouachita Parish, Mayfield Chiropractic is the provider to call first.
Yes — and sooner is better. 18-wheeler collisions generate impact forces many times greater than typical car crashes, causing spinal and soft-tissue injuries that may not produce obvious pain for hours or days. An early evaluation establishes a documented baseline, starts treatment before injuries become chronic, and creates the medical record your attorney and the trucking insurer will need. Call (318) 323-7246 for a same-day appointment.
A fully loaded commercial semi can weigh up to 80,000 lbs — roughly 20 times a passenger car. The forces on your spine, neck, and soft tissue are vastly greater. Traumatic disc herniations, severe whiplash, nerve compression, and fractures are more common and more severe in big-rig crashes, making thorough spinal evaluation essential.
Often multiple parties: the driver, the carrier company, a freight broker, the truck owner, or a maintenance contractor — each with separate insurance. Federal FMCSA regulations also apply. Because trucking insurers aggressively defend these claims, thorough injury documentation from a qualified provider like Dr. Mayfield is critical to protecting your case.
