Blackburn Romey is proud to announce that founding partner Thomas Blackburn has been recognized as an active member of the Trucking Trial Lawyers Association – Top 10, one of the Specialty Associations under The National Trial Lawyers. The honor, issued August 12, 2026, recognizes attorneys who have distinguished themselves in the demanding, highly technical field of trucking accident litigation.
The Trucking Trial Lawyers Association – Top 10 is an invitation-only group made up of leading trucking accident attorneys from across the country. Unlike a paid directory listing, membership is based on:
Because commercial truck crashes so often involve catastrophic injuries, multiple layers of insurance, and companies with teams of defense lawyers, victims and families benefit from attorneys who have specifically proven themselves in this area of law. That’s the gap the Trucking Trial Lawyers Association was built to identify.
Thomas Blackburn has practiced law since 1977 and has focused exclusively on personal injury and wrongful death cases since 1985 — including a substantial number of Indiana truck accident claims involving semi-trucks, commercial carriers, and catastrophic injuries. Earlier in his career, he worked in insurance defense and as a deputy prosecuting attorney, giving him firsthand insight into how insurance companies and trucking carriers build their defense.
Over four decades, Thomas has built a record of recognitions that reflect that experience, including:
Indiana Super Lawyer (2016–2026)
His addition to the Trucking Trial Lawyers Association – Top 10 adds another marker of that experience — one focused specifically on the complex world of trucking litigation.
For families across Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, South Bend, Lafayette, Merrillville, Terre Haute, and Evansville, this recognition is another confirmation that Blackburn Romey has the specific trucking accident experience these cases demand. Truck accident claims move quickly — evidence like electronic logging data and dashcam footage can disappear if it isn’t preserved right away — and having an attorney who is recognized among the nation’s leading trucking trial lawyers can make a real difference in how a case is investigated and valued.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a semi-truck or commercial vehicle accident in Indiana, Blackburn Romey is ready to help.
