Hiram Truck Accident Lawyer

Truck Accident Lawyer in Hiram, GA

Did you know that there are more than 11 million commercial trucks on American roadways? Tractor-trailers, big-rigs, semis – no matter what you call them, commercial trucks are formidable compared to smaller passenger cars and trucks. When collisions occur, the result can be deadly.

Unfortunately, every year thousands of lives are affected by truck accidents. Many of these accidents could be prevented if drivers obeyed the law and focused their attention on the roadway.

At The Embry Law Firm, we regularly talk to truck accident victims who say that they were doing everything right, but still ended up in an accident. It is certainly frustrating. But the reality is that we can only be responsible for ourselves. That doesn’t mean, however, that your situation is hopeless.

If you have been injured in a truck accident, contact The Embry Law Firm to learn more about your legal rights. If someone else was at fault for the accident, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries.

Truck Accidents Among the Worst

When truck accidents happen, they are often more catastrophic than an accident between two smaller vehicles. Commercial trucks weigh around 25 times the weight of a passenger car. That weight is amplified by the speed and force of a collision. Accidents are also often made worse by the weight and volume of cargo. And sometimes, these trucks haul hazardous materials, which can make an accident even worse.

Not only are truck accidents among the worst types of accidents, but resulting claims are also complicated. This is frustrating for victims facing mounting medical costs, lost wages, and property damage. That’s why it is so important to contact a truck accident lawyer in Hiram before attempting any negotiations on your own.

Preparing for a Truck Accident Claim

Georgia law states that the person responsible for an auto accident is responsible for the damages. That includes truck accidents. Unfortunately, it can be difficult in a truck accident situation to determine who is responsible. It can also be intimidating building a claim and filing a lawsuit. The good news is that you aren’t alone.

Determining Who is Responsible

If you plan to file a truck accident claim, you must first identify who is responsible. That can be difficult because truck drivers are only one cog in the wheel of trucking. Often, there are also truck owners, trucking companies, mechanics, and other parties involved in the use and upkeep of commercial trucks.

Proving Liability

Next, you must gather as much evidence as you can that proves their liability. This means investigating trucking logs, maintenance records, truck driver hours of service, and more. It may also mean talking to those parties and relevant insurance companies. You need to be able to prove that the named defendant(s) caused your injuries, and how.

Proving Damages

Finally, you must provide evidence of your injuries and related damages. That means gathering medical records, medical billing statements, insurance information, and employment documents. It may also include interviewing expert witnesses who can testify to the nature and extent of your injuries and how it is affecting you.

Testimonials

"I am in the process of going through a very difficult divorce w/child. I was wondering to myself which was harder. Getting the divorce or finding a good attorney. I had become very frustrated. I called Ms. Paige and she was very kind, genuine and listened to my difficult situation with a kind heart. I felt somewhat of a relief and at peace after speaking w/her. She seems to be very knowledgeable through experience working with the different courts. Thus far, she has promptly returned all of my correspondences no matter what time of day and been very helpful with guiding me through the process. I do/hope & believe her knowledge, aggressiveness and expertise will continue in the courtroom."
