TRUCK ACCIDENTS ATTORNEY IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Are You a Victim of A Big-Rig Collision?
With the increased power and volume of large commercial vehicles comes an increased potential for destruction. Commercial trucks can weigh as much as 20 times what the average passenger vehicle weighs.
Because of the added potential for destruction, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has strict regulations for commercial vehicle drivers and the companies that employ them. Failure to observe these federal rules and regulations – which include adequate training and testing as well as mandatory rest periods and regular vehicle inspections – could have devastating consequences.
When truck drivers fail to observe these federal rules or properly manage the responsibility entrusted to them, they put others on the road in grave danger. If you or someone in your family was hurt or even killed in an accident involving a large commercial truck, the trucking company should be held responsible for your pain and suffering along with the financial strain incurred with lost wages and medical bills.
At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Gilbert, our experienced Atlanta personal injury attorney is prepared to help you secure the compensatory damages you deserve if you or your family member has been the victim of a trucking accident.

It is important to remember that the state of Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-31.). This means that you have exactly two years from the date of your crash with a big rig to file a personal injury claim in order to collect the compensation you could be entitled to receive. There are only a few exceptions to this cutoff date. In most situations, if you miss this deadline, then you will lose your right to recover compensatory damages. Do not wait to retain the legal counsel and support you need from a trusted Atlanta truck accident lawyer who can effectively fight for your rights.
