Investigating Commercial Vehicle Negligence in Smyrna

Trucking litigation is significantly more complex than standard motor vehicle claims because it involves both Georgia traffic laws and strict federal mandates. At The Roth Firm, we look for specific regulatory failures that may contribute to truck accidents, such as:

Violations of “Hours of Service”: Examining Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) logs to determine if driver fatigue played a role in the crash.
Improper Maintenance: Under Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, trucking companies must maintain thorough inspection records for brakes, tires, and steering systems.
Negligent Loading: Unsecured or unbalanced cargo can cause a “jackknife” or rollover, particularly during quick maneuvers on Smyrna’s busy interchanges.
Driving Under the Influence: Commercial drivers are held to a stricter Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit of 0.04% while operating a commercial vehicle in Georgia.

Determining Liability and Damages

In truck crashes, liability may not be limited to the driver. Depending on the evidence we uncover, we may pursue damages against the trucking carrier, the cargo loader, or the vehicle manufacturer.

Under Georgia’s modified comparative negligence statute, you are eligible to recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident. Our goal is to secure a settlement or verdict that covers a full spectrum of potential losses, including:

Current and future medical rehabilitation costs.
Lost wages and loss of earning capacity.
Physical pain, suffering, and emotional trauma.
Property damage to your vehicle.

Why Choose The Roth Firm?

We differentiate ourselves by moving faster than the insurance companies. By issuing an immediate “spoliation letter,” we may legally bar the trucking company from misplacing critical evidence like black box data or driver employment files.
