Georgia Trucking Accident Lawyers

A loaded tractor-trailer can weigh many times what a passenger car does, and the injuries in these collisions reflect it. Trucking cases are not large car-wreck cases. They turn on federal safety regulations, driver qualification and hours-of-service records, onboard electronic data, maintenance histories, and the practices of the motor carrier that put the truck on the road.

How we approach them

  • Immediate preservation demands for the truck, its electronic control module data, dash camera footage, and driver logs

  • Identification of every responsible party and every layer of insurance, including brokers, shippers, and maintenance contractors where the facts support it

Questions we hear

Common questions

The insurance company already called me. Should I give a statement?

Speak with a lawyer first. The carrier's insurer is gathering evidence for its own side.

What if I was partly at fault?

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover if you were less than 50 percent at fault, with damages reduced by your share.
