Personal Injury Lawyers in Atlanta GA
The highways around Peachtree City are full of oversized commercial vehicles, from big-rig tractor-trailers to delivery trucks and Amazon vans. Although these giants of the road may seem gentle, in a crash, they’re anything but. A fully-loaded semi-truck weighs about 80,000 pounds and even a UPS or FedEx van easily weighs several times as much as your car or SUV. When you get into a wreck with a commercial truck, the chances of suffering a serious injury are high. Some people may never fully recover their physical or cognitive abilities, while in other cases, families are devastated after losing a loved one in a serious truck accident.
If you or someone you love has been hurt in a commercial vehicle accident, you need strong legal representation to advocate for your rights. Trust Council & Associates, LLC, to handle your claim and pursue the maximum compensation available in your case. Contact us today for a free consultation with a Peachtree City, GA, truck accident lawyer.
Truck accident lawyers are more than your run-of-the-mill car wreck attorneys. They have specialized knowledge of federal and state regulations covering truckers and trucking companies, including hours of permitted operation and the due diligence that trucking companies must demonstrate in hiring, training, and supervising truckers. They’re also tough, tenacious litigators who often argue claims against multiple powerful defendants, including national shipping companies.
Victims in a truck accident have the right to demand full compensation for their current and projected medical needs, lost wages and loss of earning potential, and property damage. They also have the right to non-economic compensation, which includes pain and suffering from their injuries, emotional trauma from the wreck (many victims develop anxiety or PTSD after being struck by a semi), and a diminished quality of life.
As a truck accident victim, you may have a harder time securing proper compensation after a wreck than you would if the other party was a private driver. The trucking company has a deep interest in protecting its trucker and its company and may do everything it can to make it look like you caused the wreck.
Truck accident cases are typically high-value claims, as the cost of medical care is often at least six figures, and the corresponding non-economic damages are often higher than other types of car wrecks, too. Insurance companies usually scrutinize high-dollar claims, and will pull a lot of tricks to deny or minimize these claims.
To secure fair compensation in a truck accident claim, it’s necessary to build a strong case of negligence against the driver (and perhaps the trucking company, too, or even the party responsible for loading the cargo). We deploy expert witnesses in your case and gather our own evidence, including reviewing the truck’s “black box” data and even the trucking company’s hiring records. We have the resources necessary for these complex cases and the legal skills to put it all together for a judge and jury.
Have you or a loved one been hurt in a truck crash? An experienced Peachtree City truck accident lawyer from our firm can help you get the compensation you deserve. Contact Council & Associates, LLC, today for a free case review.

The intake staff gathered necessary information from me and answered all of my questions. I was then assigned to a paralegal who returned my calls and followed up as agreed. When I had concerns throughout the process no one ghosted me. My calls were always returned timely. When it was time to discuss my settlement the atty explained everything and advised of the process should I choose litigation.
