Know Your Rights!

Injury

Trucking collisions are all too common. Drivers and passengers alike may experience whiplash and suffer spinal injuries. These injuries can be permanent and significantly reduce a person’s quality of life. If you have been involved in a collision, get the help you need.

Compensation

Those that have been injured by someone else’s negligence are typically entitled to compensation. While such compensation won’t cure you of your injuries, it is the form of justice currently provided by law. Those entitled to compensation can recover their medical expenses and an amount for their pain and suffering. Additional claims may exist as well. Retaining an attorney sooner rather than later can help you.

Insurance

All motor vehicles driven on Georgia’s highways are required to be insured. However, specific rules apply to commercial trucks and they are required to maintain higher policy limits.

Legal

While trucking accidents involve general laws regarding negligence, several laws exist that solely effect trucking accident claims. For example, Official Code of Georgia Annotated Sections 40-2-140 and 40-1-112 are known as direct action statutes. These laws allow the insurers of ‘common carriers’ to be named directly in lawsuits, acting as a surety for at-fault party’s payment of the injured party’s compensation.
