What Our Clients Say
Understanding Your Rights After a Big Truck Accident
After any type of crash, it's natural to feel overwhelmed. This is especially true after a semi truck crash. But it's important to remember that no matter what an insurance company may say, as a truck accident victim, you always have rights. This is especially true when it comes to damages related to medical care, medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.
You may be entitled to financial compensation for not only the money you've spent on medical expenses, but also any income that you lost while you couldn't work, the cost of potential future medical care you might need, money for pain and suffering damages, and more.
Depending on exactly what happened, a truck driver, the freight carrier that employs them, or even a cargo loading company (in the event that the truck was improperly loaded) may be liable. This is why it's so important to speak with a Thomasville truck accident lawyer before you speak with anyone else. This is doubly important if you're trying to prove a trucking company's negligence that resulted in personal injuries.
Call our top-rated Georgia accident injury law firm today at (229) 444-6033 to learn more about your rights and what your injury case might be worth. The call is free and confidential, allowing us to collect as much information as we can to mount the defense you deserve.
Every Second Counts After a Collision With a Semi-Truck
Every truck accident victim should know that in the immediate aftermath of a semi truck crash, there are a few key things they should do:
- Get to Safety and Call 911. Health and safety are always your top priority, regardless of how serious the accident was.
- Document Everything. Take pictures of the scene, chronicle your injuries, get all of the vehicle information if you can, etc.
- Seek Medical Attention. Some injuries aren't obvious right away, which is why it's important for you to be properly evaluated.
- Do Not Admit Fault. If an insurance company contacts you, don't say a word without calling an attorney. But regardless, at the scene, don't admit fault to anyone or even apologize.
- Contact a Truck Wreck Attorney. This is the most important step, as it helps you protect your rights before evidence disappears.
If you've been in a truck accident, know that our personal injury attorney in Thomasville, Georgia can and will help you protect crucial evidence. Call us today at (229) 444-6033 to find out how we can protect your rights and start building a powerful case to secure the maximum compensation you are entitled to.
Most Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Thomas County
Unfortunately, there is a long list of reasons why semi-truck accidents are so common in Georgia and elsewhere. They include, but are not limited to, things like:
- Driver fatigue.
- Distracted driving.
- Improper truck maintenance.
- Overloaded or poorly secured cargo.
Each of these is a form of neglect, as they are examples of people not following the rules of their profession, the laws of Georgia, or in some cases, both at the same time, which is a violation of truck accident law. Driver fatigue could be due to violations of Federal hours-of-service rules, for example. Poorly secured cargo could cause a trailer to shift in transit, making it nearly impossible for the driver to avoid an accident. Any of them could easily lead to a catastrophic injury.
The Graham Firm has a team of investigators and accident reconstructionists who have studied these exact types of situations. We can prove these causes of negligence, which means we can prove carelessness or irresponsibility, which helps get you the fair compensation you're after when you file a lawsuit after a semi truck crash.
It doesn't matter what caused your accident. Our team has the experts, the insight, and the perseverance needed to find out who was at fault. Contact our 'Big Truck Lawyer' today at (229) 444-6033 to learn more.
