Trucking Accident Attorneys, Located in Georgia, Available throughout the Southeast

Whether they are called semis, tractor-trailers, or 18-wheelers, large commercial trucks are responsible for a disproportionate share of the injuries and deaths on Georgia highways. When these accidents are caused by truck driver or trucking company negligence, our lawyers have an exceptional track record for obtaining compensation for victims, including:

• $3,250,000 for the wrongful death of a young woman killed after being struck by a driver of a delivery truck
• $2,100,000 for the death of an infant caused by a negligent truck driver
• $550,000 for a man struck in the rear by a tractor-trailer truck causing the need for surgery to repair a herniated disk at two levels in his lower back
• $540,000 for a woman who suffered a permanent knee injury after being hit by a negligent asphalt truck driver

As soon as a trucking accident happens, the trucking company will know about it immediately because of the truck's GPS. The trucking company's insurance company will usually send an investigator to the scene within 24 hours. As a victim, it's important for you to have a representative at the scene as soon as possible so evidence of liability does not disappear.

We retain the best possible experts in the trucking industry to provide us with advice regarding the liability of the culpable party.

Studies have shown that driver fatigue is the most common factor in serious trucking accident injury cases. Our lawyers will immediately notify the trucking company and insurance company that there will be an injury claim and that they must save information such as the driver's logbook, the truck's maintenance records, and the electronic control module (if the truck was so equipped). The electronic control module (ECM) records such information as the truck's speed and whether there was hard braking before the accident. This written notice is called a spoliation letter, and it is designed to preserve evidence that can help prove your case.
