Why Truck Accidents Require an Experienced Lawyer
Truck accidents are different from regular car crashes. They often involve:
- Multiple liable parties, such as the driver, carrier, or manufacturer
- Complex federal and state regulations, including FMCSA laws
- Severe injuries because of the size and weight of trucks
- Aggressive insurance defense teams that try to limit payouts
Our attorneys understand these challenges and have the resources to fully investigate your claim and build a strong case.

What Causes Truck Accidents in Augusta?
Common causes of truck-related collisions include:
- Distracted or fatigued driving
- Speeding or reckless lane changes
- Improper truck maintenance
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Driving under the influence
- Inexperienced or undertrained drivers
Our legal team uses crash reports, black box data, dashcam footage, and expert analysis to prove liability.
What Damages Can You Recover After a Truck Accident?
Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills, including ER visits, surgeries, and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life
In some cases, punitive damages may also be available when gross negligence is involved, such as falsified logs or driving under the influence.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident?
Truck crash claims often involve more than one responsible party. We investigate and pursue claims against:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- Maintenance contractors
- Manufacturers of faulty truck parts
- Cargo loading companies
We work hard to uncover the facts and hold everyone accountable.
Why You Should Avoid Dealing With Insurance Companies Alone
Trucking insurers move quickly after an accident and do not prioritize your best interests. They may:
- Offer quick settlements that are far below what you deserve
- Try to get you to admit partial fault
- Misrepresent your legal rights
Let our team take over all communication. We protect your interests, handle negotiations, and push for full compensation.
Common Mistakes to Avoid After a Truck Accident
- Not getting medical attention right away
