Commercial 18 Wheeler Accident Representation From Lawyers in the Alpharetta Area
Unfortunately, the trucking company and its insurance company have one sole interest when their vehicles are involved in accidents — minimize their liability exposure and the compensation to the victims. Insurance companies employ aggressive insurance adjusters who immediately implement "damage control" tactics the moment they are notified about an accident involving one of their insured vehicles. Typically, an insurance adjuster and team of "investigators" will appear at the scene of the accident, the hospital, and even the families' home attempting to obtain favorable recorded statements to defend any potential lawsuit the victims may decide to pursue.
Our truck accident lawyers have extensive experience handling trucking accident cases and know how to effectively pursue legal action to maximize our clients' recovery. Our attorneys' prior experience handling trucking cases for insurance and trucking companies allows us to effectively anticipate the strategies employed by the other side in defending against your truck accident claims. In many instances, we pursue legal action against the truck driver, the trucking company and the tractor-trailer owner to obtain the maximum compensation for your recovery.
Investigating Your Serious Injuries Caused by Trucking Accidents
Accidents involving trucks in interstate and intrastate commerce in Georgia result in hundreds of injuries and fatalities per year. A fully loaded large commercial truck's weight can exceed 80,000 pounds, while an average passenger automobile weighs approximately 3,000 pounds. Because of the enormous mass of trucks, any collision between a commercial truck and another vehicle is likely to result in serious injuries. If the truck is carrying hazardous chemicals or flammable materials, the resulting injuries may be even more severe. If you have suffered a brain injury or a spinal cord injury due to your accident, we will help.
There are a variety of types of information that need to be investigated in regard to your claims. This information includes previous violations of regulations by the trucking company or driver involved, the truck's maintenance records, the speed the truck and your vehicle were traveling, the location of the impact on the vehicles' exteriors, the truck driver's log book and statements from eyewitnesses and first responders to the accident scene.
