Trucking Accidents

Collisions involving commercial trucks are fundamentally different from regular automobile accidents. Any attorney who treats a trucking accident like a “big car accident” lacks the specialized knowledge and experience needed for such cases. There are many unique aspects of trucking collisions in Georgia that can significantly impact the value of your case if not handled correctly.

First, commercial truck accidents require immediate and thorough investigation. Truck drivers are often trained to notify their dispatcher before even calling the police, ensuring that the trucking company’s investigators arrive at the scene quickly to gather evidence.

Additionally, settling a commercial trucking case before litigation is uncommon. The discovery process in a lawsuit is often necessary to obtain crucial documents, including data from the truck’s advanced computer systems, on-board radar, and satellite tracking, which are only accessible after legal action has begun.

Trucking accident cases in Georgia are far more complex than car accidents for many reasons. An attorney handling your trucking case should have extensive experience in commercial trucking litigation and a deep understanding of the regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
