Truck Accident Lawyer Network

Liability can extend to the driver, trucking company, cargo loader, maintenance provider, and vehicle manufacturer — each with their own insurer. Federal FMCSA regulations also apply. A Georgia truck accident attorney knows how to identify every responsible party.

Beyond the driver: the trucking company, the cargo loading company, the maintenance provider, and potentially a parts manufacturer. Each carries their own insurance — which is why truck settlements tend to be larger than car accident settlements.

It depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, and the evidence available. Because commercial carriers hold higher insurance policies and truck injuries are often catastrophic, these cases frequently result in six-figure and seven-figure recoveries. Speak with a truck accident attorney before accepting any offer.

Two years from the date of the accident (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). But truck cases have a hidden deadline — ELD data and driver logs can be legally discarded much sooner. Get an attorney involved early to preserve the evidence.

Electronic logging devices and event data recorders capture driving hours, speed, and braking data. They can prove a driver was fatigued or speeding — but can be overwritten or discarded without a legal preservation notice. Early action is critical.

Yes — as long as you were less than 50% responsible. Georgia's modified comparative fault rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) reduces your recovery proportionally but doesn't eliminate it below that threshold.

Don't say you're "fine." Don't apologize or accept any blame. Don't agree to a recorded statement before speaking with an attorney. The safest response to any insurer is: "My attorney will be in touch."
