You may initially be hesitant to move forward with your truck accident lawsuit. After all, your injuries are severe, you are struggling to make ends meet, and the thought of going to court seems like a nightmare. However, with a skilled car accident attorney handling your case, you can get back to your life while we handle the legalities.
The Stoddard Firm is ready to conduct an intensive investigation and identify anyone who shares responsibility for your injuries. We will go into detail about the various ways your life has been affected to ensure we are accurately calculating the value of your claim. The legal process may include an investigation, negotiations with the insurance company, refuting the defendant’s claims of shared liability, and advocating for the compensation you deserve at trial.
Arguably, our most important responsibility after your collision will be to identify the liable party. Truck accident claims are unique in that truck drivers and trucking companies are some of the most common parties to be held accountable through insurance claims and civil lawsuits. This is often due to:
However, trucking companies and truckers are not the only parties who could be sued for damages. Depending on how your accident occurred, you may have the right to sue other parties as well. For example, according to Georgia Code § 51-1-40, if the driver that hit you was sold or served alcohol by an establishment that knew the truck driver was impaired, you may have grounds for a dram shop liability claim.
Similarly, if dangerous road conditions contributed to your wreck in Roswell, you might be able to sue the city of Roswell or the Georgia Department of Transportation, depending on which entity is responsible for the integrity of the roadways where the accident occurred.
Do not hesitate to demand the compensation you deserve. You have the right to be fully reimbursed for your losses, including economic and non-economic damages. Some examples of damages you may be able to include as part of your personal injury demand letter include:
There is no one specific type of injury that you can sue for. As long as your injuries had a substantial impact on your life, you may have the right to compensation. Examples of injuries our clients frequently report after a commercial truck wreck include:
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is a government agency that oversees the regulation and operation of commercial trucks in the United States.
What is the statute of limitations deadline?
According to Georgia Code § 9-3-33, the statute of limitations for truck accident claims in Georgia is generally two years from when the right of action accrues.. However, extenuating circumstances could make this timeline longer or shorter. For example, suits against government entities require notice to the government – sometimes as quickly as six months. On the other end of the spectrum, there are events that can temporarily pause the statute of limitations such that the period can be longer than two years. Missing the deadline can result in losing the ability to recover damages no matter how strong the case may be. We can help determine whether an exception to the two year general limit applies to your case.
Even without a statute of limitations, acting quickly is important because it allows for evidence preservation and documentation of witness observations which can significantly strengthen a claim.
What happens if the liable party blames me for the collision?
Your settlement could be reduced if the liable party successfully blames you for the collision. This is, in part, because Georgia follows modified comparative negligence laws per O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33. In Georgia, if you are 50% or more at fault for the accident, you will lose out on your right to compensation for your damages.
Coping with the fallout of your truck accident injuries can be challenging at best. Let us take over the legal details so you can recuperate and get the peace of mind you deserve. Your dedicated Roswell truck wreck attorney with The Stoddard Firm is here to hold liable parties accountable and recover maximum compensation for your damages.
