The Aftermath of a Truck Accident

Each trucking accident is unique, and more than one party may be liable for your damage. Trucking companies and their insurance providers have legal teams working to minimize the compensation they need to pay you. Fortunately, our truck accident attorneys have the experience and confidence to take on the toughest adversaries.

Your attorney can seek action against any potentially liable party, including:

Insurance companies
The trucking company
Manufacturers of defective parts
Loading companies

The recovery period after a truck accident is often lengthy and may require extensive rehabilitation. Some accident victims never fully recover from their injuries and may suffer from permanent disability. The costs of medical care, physical therapy, and rehabilitation can be massive. Additionally, you may experience lost wages due to an inability to return to work.

When you choose to work with Hasty Pope, LLP, we will fight for compensation on your behalf so you can concentrate on rehabilitation and recovery.

Our truck accident lawyers in Canton work with a team of investigators, accident reconstructionists, economists, and medical experts to obtain a comprehensive picture of the accident, your injuries, and your damages. This allows us to aggressively advocate for the full, fair recovery you are owed.

What Are the Common Causes of Truck Accidents?

Like other motor vehicle accidents, trucking collisions are often the result of negligence. Just like automobile drivers, truck drivers are susceptible to careless and reckless behavior behind the wheel. However, truckers are not the only ones responsible for these devastating accidents.

In fact, their employers may not only be partially to blame, but they could be entirely liable for an accident if it is discovered that they acted negligently in some way. This might include things like engaging in negligent hiring practices, failing to properly train truck drivers, or turning a blind eye to hours-of-service and other industry regulation violations.

Some of the most common causes of truck accidents in Georgia and throughout the United States include:

Distracted driving
Inexperienced truck operators
Speeding
Drunk/drugged driving
Failure to yield
Fatigued driving
Hours-of-service violations
Traffic law violations
Improperly loaded cargo
Overloaded trucks
Weight restriction violations

Other factors, such as poor weather or defective road design, can also contribute to or cause a serious crash. In some cases, a third party may even be partially or wholly to blame. This could include the manufacturer or a defective truck tire or another motorist on the road.

At Hasty Pope, LLP, we know how to properly investigate truck accident claims to determine how the crash occurred and, most importantly, who is liable for your damages. We know that no amount of financial compensation can negate the losses you have endured, but a fair settlement or verdict can allow you the ability to get back on your feet and move forward with your life.

Steps to Take After a Truck Accident

Being involved in a truck accident can be a traumatic experience, and it's important to know what steps to take to protect your rights and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Here are some important steps to take after a truck accident:

Seek Medical Attention: Your health and well-being should be your top priority. Even if you don't think you're seriously injured, it's important to seek medical attention to rule out any hidden injuries.
Document the Scene: If you're physically able to, gather evidence at the scene of the accident. Take photos of the vehicles involved, the damage, and any visible injuries. Also, collect contact information from any witnesses.
Report the Accident: Contact the police and report the accident. A police report can be valuable evidence when filing a claim.
Notify Your Insurance Company: Contact your insurance company and report the accident. Provide them with all the necessary details and cooperate fully with their investigation.
Consult with an Experienced Truck Accident Attorney: Truck accident cases can be complex, and having a skilled attorney on your side can greatly increase your chances of a successful claim. An experienced attorney can guide you through the legal process, gather evidence, and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.

Remember, time is of the essence when it comes to filing a truck accident claim. Don't delay in seeking legal representation and taking the necessary steps to protect your rights.
