Many truck crashes start with decisions made long before the collision. We also represent people with life-changing injuries and families who have lost a loved one.
When a carrier’s hiring, scheduling, maintenance, or safety failures put a dangerous truck on the road.
Life-changing injuries such as brain and spinal cord injuries, amputations, and severe burns.
Claims on behalf of families who have lost a loved one in a truck crash.
Truck accident claims follow different laws than regular car accidents. These rules cover things like how long a driver can be on the road, how cargo should be secured, and how well a trucking company must maintain its trucks. If any of these rules are broken, it can be strong evidence in your case, but only if your lawyer knows how to find and use it.
Trucking companies act quickly after a crash. Many send teams to the scene within hours to gather evidence, talk to witnesses, and start building their defense, often before you have even left the hospital. You need a trucking accident attorney who can act just as fast, preserve black box and ELD data, and stand up to corporate legal teams to protect your claim.
Who Is Responsible
Liability in a truck accident case can extend well beyond the driver. Depending on what happened, the trucking company, a company that loaded the cargo, a maintenance contractor, or even the truck or parts manufacturer might also share the blame. Many states, including Georgia and Ohio, use comparative negligence rules, so insurance companies often argue about who is at fault and may try to blame the victim to avoid paying. A skilled truck accident lawyer will investigate every possible source of responsibility and work to hold everyone at fault accountable.
Next Steps
01
Call 911 and get checked even if you feel fine. Some injuries, like brain and spinal injuries, show symptoms hours or days later, and medical records connect your injuries to the crash.
02
If it is safe, photograph the vehicles, the scene, the truck’s DOT number, and your injuries. Collect names and phone numbers of witnesses.
03
The trucking company’s insurer may call quickly. Avoid recorded statements and do not sign anything until you have talked with a lawyer.
04
We move to preserve driver logs, electronic data, and dash-cam footage before it is lost, and we handle the insurers so you can focus on your health.
We follow a clear, step-by-step process so you always know where your case stands. Your first conversation is free, and there’s no obligation.
