Injuries resulting from commercial trucks colliding with smaller, less protected cars on the highway can mean lifelong disabilities. These are long-lasting, complex injuries that insurance companies are loath to pay for. As a result, they are aggressive in minimizing and denying your claims. But we have the case history and knowledge of Georgia law necessary to advocate for the care you deserve.

Ask Us Your Questions About Commercial Truck Accidents

Your case will hinge on facts and legal realities that are specific to you. It’s natural to have questions, but for most, it’s natural not to know where to start asking. Here are answers a few commonly asked questions to help you get started.

What qualifies as a commercial vehicle accident in Georgia?

A commercial vehicle accident is an accident with what Georgia defines as a commercial vehicle. This includes any vehicle used for any purpose above a certain weight class, requiring a commercial drivers’ license to operate.

How does a commercial claim differ from a passenger vehicle claim?

Commercial vehicle accident claims differ from car accidents in that fault is a more complex matter. In any given commercial truck accident, there could be one to five or more parties that may carry some portion of the fault for the accident, and these parties include:

  • The truck driver: They may have had a lapse in judgment or gotten distracted.
  • The truck owner: They may have set a schedule that exhausted the driver or forced the driver to take an unsafe route. The truck owner may also have failed to properly train the driver.
  • The service provider: The company or mechanics responsible for maintaining the vehicle may have failed to keep up proper maintenance on key features.
  • The truck manufacturer: If the truck was defective from the start in some way, the manufacturer had responsibility to notify the owner and rectify the problem.
  • The warehouse or seller: Whatever goods were transported were likely loaded by a company unaffiliated with the truck itself. If they were overloaded or improperly balanced, the truck could have been harder to control.

Investigating fault and properly pursuing that fault in court is a complicated process, but we have been effective at making these cases work for our clients.
