Your 18-Wheeler Accident Changed Everything. Your Fight for Justice Starts Now

Georgia Truck Accident Injury Attorneys

When 80,000 pounds of truck collides with your life, the aftermath goes far beyond twisted metal. We understand what you’re facing and fight to make trucking companies pay.

What They Don’t Want You to Know

Your truck accident isn’t just about damaged cars and medical bills.
It’s about what’s happening behind the scenes — and what’s being hidden.

Federal regulations protect trucking companies.
Multiple insurance policies limit payouts.
Critical evidence disappears on rigid timelines.

5,375

Large trucks involved in fatal crashes in 2023
(NHTSA data)

97%

Of truck-vs-car fatalities are suffered by the people in the smaller vehicle.

🚨 Evidence Vanishes Fast

If you wait too long, the trucking company wins by default.

Black box data gets overwritten after 30 days
Electronic logs are deleted after 6 months (per federal law)
Driver qualification files often get purged
Maintenance records are routinely destroyed

Trucking companies know the deadlines.
Their legal teams act fast to protect profits.
While you’re recovering, they’re erasing evidence.

Your Case Has Real Value

Don’t let insurance companies downplay your injuries. Truck accident claims can be life-changing — when handled by the right legal team.

$50K – $200K

Typical range for moderate injuries

$500K – $5M+

Settlements for catastrophic injuries

3.5x

Higher settlements with legal representation

📈 Why Legal Help Matters

Commercial trucks are typically covered by $1M+ insurance policies, compared to just $25K–$50K for regular vehicles.
Insurance companies handle represented clients very differently — especially when they know your lawyer understands trucking law.

What Truck Specialists Know (That Others Miss)

Federal trucking rules most general attorneys overlook
Strict deadlines for preserving critical crash evidence
Complex multi-party liability beyond just the driver
Commercial insurance structures with hidden layers of coverage
Access to expert witnesses for accident reconstruction

⚠️ Risk: Not All Lawyers Are Trucking Lawyers

A general personal injury lawyer might settle fast using only the driver’s insurance policy — missing bigger payouts from the trucking company, maintenance contractors, or cargo loaders.
