Atlanta Truck Accident Lawyers

Cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians are no match for a large truck, especially when involved in a motor vehicle accident. Because trucks can weigh between 10,000 and 18,000 pounds, a truck accident can produce serious injuries – or even fatalities.

If you or a loved one has recently been impacted by a truck accident in Metro Atlanta, it is important to contact an experienced law firm as soon as possible. Dealing with a trucking company can be difficult for you. This is because trucking companies have their best interests at heart, not yours. In fact, it is advisable to avoid speaking with a representative of a trucking company that caused an accident before being advised of your rights by a truck accident attorney.

The Law Office of J. Lee Webb is devoted to helping clients who have been injured as the result of a truck collision. Our dedicated attorneys will conduct a full investigation of your case. Standard procedures include collecting evidence at the scene of the accident and evaluating the vehicles involved, as well as reviewing the truck driver’s work and maintenance logs.

Any accident involving a tractor-trailer, an 18-wheeler, a garbage truck, or any large truck may result in life-altering injuries, including brain injuries, spinal cord damage, loss of limbs, or even death. The Fatality Analysis Reporting System reported that truck accidents accounted for 179 fatalities in the State of Georgia in 2008.

The most common causes of truck driver negligence include driving while fatigued, failing to properly maintain the vehicle, failing to check blind spots, driving drunk, or speeding. In some cases, the driver may continue operating the truck long after the legally allowed number of hours. Our attorneys will interview the truck driver and the witnesses to determine the root cause of the truck collision that injured you or someone you love.

Shortly after a truck collision, a trucking company will usually dispatch a representative to perform damage control for their company. Trucking companies do this to reduce their chances of paying a fair compensation amount and to protect their own selfish interests. Shouldn’t you contact the Law Office of J. Lee Webb to aggressively deal with the trucking company and their insurance carrier to protect your rights and to obtain the compensation you deserve?
