About us - Atlanta Truck Accident Law Group
Fighting for Truck Accident Victims in Georgia
At Atlanta Truck Accident Law Group, we focus on one thing and one thing only: helping people across Georgia who have been injured in serious truck crashes. We know how devastating these accidents can be, physically, emotionally, and financially. That’s why our team is dedicated to standing up for victims and their families when they need it most.
Unlike firms that try to handle every kind of case, we’ve built our practice around truck accident law. Tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, delivery trucks, and commercial vehicles all come with their own set of rules, regulations, and insurance challenges. We know the trucking industry inside and out, and we use that knowledge to fight for the best possible outcome in every case.
Our approach is simple: you focus on healing, and we’ll handle the fight. From investigating the crash scene, gathering evidence, and working with top experts, to negotiating with powerful insurance companies, we don’t stop until we’ve done everything we can to get justice for our clients.
We’re proud to serve families throughout Georgia, but we never forget that every client’s story is personal. When you work with us, you’re not just another case number. You’re part of the Atlanta Truck Accident Law Group family and that means we’ll be there for you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I’m involved in a truck accident in Georgia?
If you’re involved in a truck accident, your first priority should be your health. Call 911 to report the accident and seek medical attention, even if you don’t feel injured. Document the scene by taking photos, obtaining witness information, and gathering the truck driver’s details (license, insurance, etc.). It’s also important to contact an experienced Atlanta truck accident lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Georgia?
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for filing a truck accident claim is two years from the date of the accident. If you fail to file your claim within this time frame, you may lose your right to compensation. However, certain circumstances may extend or shorten this timeline, so it’s vital to consult with an Atlanta truck accident attorney immediately.
What kind of compensation can I receive after a truck accident?
Truck accident victims can recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and emotional distress. In cases of severe injury or wrongful death, the compensation can also cover long-term care needs and funeral expenses. Your Atlanta truck accident lawyer will help ensure you receive the maximum compensation for your damages.
Can I file a claim if the truck driver leaves the scene of the accident?
If the truck driver flees the scene of the accident (hit and run), you may still have options for compensation. First, report the incident to law enforcement. If the driver is not found, your own insurance policy, specifically the uninsured motorist coverage, may help cover your losses. An Atlanta truck accident attorney can assist you in navigating the complexities of these cases.
What factors contribute to truck driver negligence in Georgia?
Truck driver negligence can result from factors such as fatigue, speeding, distracted driving, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and failing to inspect the truck for safety issues. If you believe the truck driver was negligent, an experienced Atlanta truck accident lawyer can investigate the case, gather evidence, and work to prove negligence in court.
How much does it cost to hire an Atlanta truck accident lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case. Our priority is helping you get the compensation you deserve without financial risk. We offer a free initial consultation to evaluate your case.
What if the truck company is also at fault?
In cases where the truck company or employer is at fault (e.g., due to improper training, maintenance, or pressure to meet deadlines), you can pursue a claim against them as well. Our Atlanta truck accident attorneys are well-versed in handling complex cases involving corporate liability and can help you maximize your recovery.
How can an Atlanta truck accident lawyer help with my case?
Our experienced team of Atlanta truck accident lawyers will handle all aspects of your case, including investigating the cause of the accident, gathering evidence, negotiating with insurance companies, and representing you in court if needed. We will ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages.
Can I settle my truck accident claim without going to court?
Yes, many truck accident claims can be settled without going to trial through negotiation with the insurance companies or other responsible parties. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, our Atlanta truck accident attorneys are prepared to take your case to court to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Will my insurance cover my truck accident injuries?
If the truck driver was at fault, their insurance should cover your medical expenses and other damages. If the driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own policy may provide coverage, especially if you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Your Atlanta truck accident lawyer can help you understand the details of your coverage and ensure you receive the compensation you’re entitled to.
