Sandy Springs Truck Wreck Attorneys Fight for Your Rights
Fully loaded commercial trucks in Georgia can weigh 80,000 pounds or more.

Unbalanced loads, driver error or inattention, poor road conditions, and mechanical problems can lead to dangerous accidents that cause catastrophic injuries and sometimes death.

Sandy Springs Truck Accident Attorney Answers FAQs
You probably have numerous questions and concerns after being hurt in a truck wreck. Here are answers to a few of the common questions we receive.
Who can be held liable in truck accidents?
There are various parties who may be liable depending on the facts of the accident. Sometimes liability is shared between several parties. Truck drivers, trucking companies, other vehicles on the highway who cut off trucks or otherwise impede them, makers of truck parts, and even agencies responsible for road maintenance may be named in claims. We will investigate your case to prove fault and hold all responsible parties accountable.
How much compensation could I get?
How much compensation you may get depends on several things. The extent of your injuries, your damages, whether you shared any responsibility for the accident, and the amount of insurance coverage of liable parties will all factor into the amount of compensation to pursue. Our lawyers will seek the most compensation available based on all the details of your injuries and accident.
Can I still get compensation if I contributed to the crash?
Under Georgia’s modified comparative negligence law, you can still collect compensation if you are less than 50 percent liable for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. So, if you are determined to be 20 percent at fault, the settlement or verdict will be reduced by that percentage:
How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a truck accident?
According to Georgia Code Section 9-3-33, there is a two-year deadline, or statute of limitations, from the date of the accident for filing a lawsuit. If you miss the deadline, you may not be able to file. This deadline can actually be longer or shorter depending on the circumstances of your case. A truck accident attorney from our law firm can advise you how the deadline may affect your case.
These questions and answers are general; speak with an attorney from our firm for specific answers.
