For more than 35 years, Finch McCranie, LLP has represented personal injury clients throughout Georgia in serious personal injury and wrongful death cases. Our Georgia truck accident lawyers have represented men, women, and children who have been injured because of negligent truck drivers, defective or improper trucking equipment, drunk and or impaired truck operators, inexperienced truck drivers, negligent entrustment, driver fatigue, conspicuity, and negligent hiring and retention.

Injuries sustained by a victim involved in a truck or tractor-trailer accident are often serious—if not fatal—due to the general size of a truck and the force of impact it can create in any traffic crash. It is very important that the injury victim of such a catastrophic accident is represented by a personal injury attorney that is experienced in dealing with truck collision cases.

Personal injury cases involving trucks or tractor-trailers are more complicated to deal with than car accident cases. This is because there are complex federal and state laws that regulate the trucking industry.

Based on our law firm's years of experience handling truck and tractor-trailer collision cases, our personal injury lawyers know how important it is for injury victims to realize that they can file injury lawsuits against truck drivers, the trucking company, and, in some instances, its insurance company. Federal and state regulations can also provide different avenues for injury relief if commercial carriers for hire are involved in a truck collision.

The number of large trucks and tractor-trailers involved in deadly motor vehicle crashes has grown by 10% over the past decade. Unsafe equipment, driver fatigue, unsafe loads, unsafe truck operation, and unstable roads are some common cases of these catastrophic crashes. Catastrophic injuries or wrongful death frequently result when negligent behavior leads to a truck crash.

Trucking companies usually will send a claims representative to a truck crash scene on the same day that a collision takes place. It is the job of the claims agent to protect the trucking company's interests by attempting to deny liability, avoid liability, or mitigate the company's responsibilities for injuring anyone or damaging any property.

The best way for truck accident victims to protect themselves and make sure that their interests are represented is to hire a truck accident lawyer that knows how to deal with trucking companies and their insurance companies. Truck accident victims who are injured because a truck driver or the trucking company was negligent have the right to receive personal injury compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, wage losses, and permanent injuries.
