Semi-truck collisions are terrifying for the occupants of a much-smaller passenger car or SUV. Imagine 80,000 pounds to a speeding vehicle bearing down on you—and there’s nothing you can do to avoid the collision.

How Can A Douglasville Truck Accident Lawyer Help Me?
Truck accident lawyers fight for the rights of people who were hurt, often catastrophically, in a truck collision. Truckers are required by law to operate only a certain number of hours each day and each week. They are also expected to scrupulously follow all speed limits and traffic rules and care for the safety of others on the road. However, tight delivery schedules or the boredom of hours on the road each day can easily cause drivers to be reckless or negligent, causing a wreck.
It’s our mission to hold these negligent drivers accountable for their actions and ensure that injured people like you receive the compensation they need for extensive (and expensive!) medical treatments, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We know that emotional trauma may be significant, and we want to help you secure the money you need for the best care and treatment.
What Makes Truck Accident Claims So Complex?
One aspect of truck accident cases that isn’t often present in cases involving two private drivers is the fact that there may be multiple defendants. Trucking companies are responsible for harm their drivers cause and can be named as a defendant in your claim, beyond the driver themselves. If the trucking carrier fails to do due diligence in hiring and hires a trucker with a poor driving record, fails to properly supervise them, or sets schedules that force them to operate outside of the federal limits for driving, then they are partly liable for your accident.
These cases require extensive resources and knowledge of Georgia truck accident laws, both of which we have. We’re determined to ensure that the roads are safe for everyone and that victims like you receive full compensation for the losses they suffer in a truck accident.
