William Davis

Biography

Billy is a Partner at Taylor Nelson Slattery Bernard, a dedicated transportation firm with offices in Georgia and Florida.

Each year, Billy trains hundreds of commercial drivers, supervisors, and c-suite executives at trucking companies on strategies to reduce litigation risk. Billy consults with trucking companies to help expand their driver safety programs to include rapid incident response programs that avoid costly mistakes in the crucial moments after an on-the-road accident occurs.

When litigation is necessary, Billy’s primary concern is being a good steward of a company’s resources in order to obtain an economically sensible outcome. He aggressively defends companies and their drivers in lawsuits around the country.

Billy’s experience with high-risk industrial operations began over 25 years ago when he worked as a roughneck and roustabout on offshore drilling rigs to pay for his education. Early in his career as a litigator in New Orleans, Billy defended offshore drilling contractors against injury claims, which served as the beginning of a now 19-year career defending businesses against catastrophic injury claims. As a result of his extensive experience with front-line workers in demanding jobs, Billy enjoys talking to truck drivers as much as company executives.

Outside of the office, Billy stays closely involved with the transportation industry. He serves on the Executive Committee of the Transportation Lawyers Association—North America’s oldest transportation-centered bar association. He also participates in numerous other industry events and enjoys both presenting and learning from other lawyers, claims professionals and business owners.
