Big Rigs, Big Wins, Big Cases

What sets our trucking team apart? When families are facing one of the most difficult moments of their lives, they need a team with the experience, resources, and determination to take on trucking companies and their insurers. That’s exactly what our trucking litigation team does.

A crash involving a commercial truck can change a life in an instant. Because tractor-trailers and other large trucks can weigh up to 20 times more than a passenger vehicle, these collisions often lead to devastating injuries, permanent disabilities, and wrongful deaths.

Why Truck Accident Cases Are So Complex

The circumstances surrounding truck accidents are more complex than those of an ordinary car collision. Besides looking into the crash, lawyers might also have to review the driver’s records, safety violations, maintenance logs, onboard camera footage, electronic data, and the company’s policies.

After a crash, trucking firms usually have their lawyers, investigators, and insurance reps working right away, and it makes a great deal of difference if they have a legal team that knows how to investigate the cases.

Our attorneys handle cases involving:

• Tractor-trailer and 18-wheeler accidents
• Delivery truck crashes
• Construction vehicle collisions
• Tanker truck accidents
• Logging truck crashes
• Catastrophic injuries
• Wrongful death claims

Big Cases Require Big Resources

One of the things that sets us apart is our ability to carry out a quick and thorough investigation into serious crashes.

Our attorneys work alongside experienced investigators and accident reconstruction experts to uncover what happened, preserve important evidence, and identify everyone who may be responsible. This approach regularly reveals critical information that would otherwise stay hidden.

From onboard video footage to electronic driver records and safety data, trucking cases often contain valuable evidence that helps tell the complete story of a crash.

A Track Record of Success

Over the years, we have secured significant results for clients and their families.

One of our recent cases involved a wrongful death lawsuit arising from a tractor-trailer crash. During the investigation, our team uncovered concealed onboard video evidence, a documented history of safety violations, and evidence of a prior fatal collision involving the same driver. The case resolved for more than $56 million and is believed to be among the largest, if not the largest, pre-trial wrongful death trucking settlements in Georgia history.

Other significant trucking results include:

• $25 million trucking settlement
• $17.25 million settlement for the family of a Georgia woman killed in a tractor-trailer collision
• $14 million settlement arising from a fatal tractor-trailer crash
• $18.79 million verdict for a client left paralyzed

No two trucking cases are alike, but these results show what’s possible when a team is willing to dig deep, challenge powerful trucking companies, and fight for the people affected by a serious crash.

When Safety Failures Lead to Tragedy

Too often, these crashes could have been prevented. Whether the cause is a tired driver, a missed maintenance issue, or a trucking company that puts deadlines ahead of safety, innocent people pay the price.
