Truck Accident Lawyer in Macon, GA

Commercial trucking is a heavily regulated industry. When a major crash occurs on I-75, I-16, or a local Middle Georgia road, investigating the accident requires an attorney who understands the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations.

Trucking companies possess substantial resources and will deploy investigators to the scene immediately. They often "lose" or destroy critical evidence—such as driver logs and black box data—if an attorney does not intervene. By sending a formal spoliation letter, our firm legally compels the trucking company to preserve the vehicle, the electronic control module (ECM), the driver's hours-of-service logs, maintenance records, and internal dispatch communications.

Furthermore, liability in a truck crash is rarely limited to just the driver. We pursue all avenues of compensation, investigating the trucking company (for negligent hiring or pushing drivers past legal hour limits), the maintenance provider (for failing to replace bald tires or bad brakes), and the cargo loader (for overloading or improperly securing freight).

Because of the sheer size and momentum of commercial trucks, the injuries sustained by occupants of passenger vehicles are usually catastrophic. We routinely represent clients suffering from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), severe spinal cord damage, crush injuries, burns, and permanent paralysis. In the most tragic cases, we help families pursue Wrongful Death claims.

Commercial trucks are required to carry much higher insurance policies than passenger vehicles—often in the millions of dollars. While this means there is usually sufficient coverage to pay for your lifetime medical care and lost wages, it also means the insurance company will fight tooth and nail to deny your claim.
