Atlanta Trucking Accident Attorney

Handling Cases Throughout Georgia

Trucking accident lawsuits are much more complicated than regular auto accident lawsuits. The accidents themselves are far more likely to cause multiple deaths and catastrophic injuries. There can be numerous victims and multiple responsible parties. If you have been injured in a trucking accident in Georgia, an experienced trucking attorney can help you and your family recover the compensation you need and deserve.

Trucking Accident Attorneys

If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a trucking accident, you need the help of a capable and knowledgeable trucking accident attorney. An auto accident attorney in Atlanta who lacks the knowledge or experience of dealing with trucking accident cases may not fully understand the necessary depth of the investigation and preparation of such a case.

Trucking accidents require special investigation, which can best be performed by someone who understands both the complex laws involved and the unique nature of how and why trucking accidents occur. The scene of the accident must be thoroughly examined, witnesses’ testimony pursued and preserved, and the accident reconstructed.

These aspects are only part of the investigation. In addition, it is necessary to obtain and review all of the records and documentation that will allow discovery of the real cause of the trucking accident. It is often in these records that the following accident causes are discovered:

• Inadequate truck maintenance
• Driver fatigue
• Undertrained, unqualified or inexperienced drivers
• Unrealistic driving schedules

Trucking Accident Laws

The trucking industry is governed by complicated state and federal laws. Your trucking accident attorney must know and understand these laws and which of them will apply to your case. Your attorney must know how to use these laws to obtain the information needed to investigate your case and to determine who is legally responsible for your accident.

For instance, even if a truck driver’s error was the cause of your accident, the trucking company may be responsible for putting a driver behind the wheel inappropriately. Trucking companies will often be responsible for such errors when the driver:

• Does not have the proper training and licensing to operate the type of truck he was driving or to haul the type of cargo he was hauling
• Is no longer eligible to drive because of health problems
• Has lost his commercial driver’s license due to driving infractions or accidents
• Has not passed required drug tests
• Has a history of infractions or rule violations
