Truck Accident Lawyer - Burrow & Associates

Expert Legal Representation for Truck Accident Victims in Atlanta

Semi-truck accidents can have devastating consequences due to the massive size and weight of commercial vehicles. If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident, you may be facing severe injuries, mounting medical bills, and a complex legal battle. At Burrow & Associates, an experienced truck accident lawyer can help you navigate this challenging time and fight for the compensation you deserve.

What Does a Truck Accident Lawyer Do?

Imagine you’re on your way home after a long day, and suddenly a massive semi-truck collides with your vehicle. In the blink of an eye, your life is turned upside down. You’re faced with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and the stress of dealing with insurance companies. This is where a truck accident lawyer steps in to help you navigate the complex aftermath.

At Burrow & Associates, our attorneys begin by investigating the accident. We thoroughly examine the accident scene, collect crucial evidence, review police reports, and gather witness statements. This meticulous investigation helps us build a strong case on your behalf.

We then work to determine liability. Truck accidents often involve multiple parties—the truck driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, or even manufacturers of faulty truck parts. We identify all responsible parties to maximize your compensation and hold everyone accountable.

Handling insurance companies can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. We handle all communications with insurance companies, negotiating on your behalf to ensure your rights are protected and that you receive a fair settlement.

Understanding the full extent of your losses is essential. We calculate your damages by assessing all your losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future rehabilitation costs. Our goal is to secure compensation that truly reflects the impact of the accident on your life.

If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we’re fully prepared to represent you in court. Our experienced trial attorneys will advocate passionately for your best interests, presenting a compelling case to help you obtain the justice and compensation you deserve.

How to Choose a Truck Accident Lawyer

Selecting the right attorney is crucial for the success of your case. Here are key factors to consider when choosing a semi-truck accident lawyer:

Specialization in Truck Accident Cases: Choose a lawyer who focuses specifically on truck accidents, as they involve unique laws and regulations different from standard car accidents.
Knowledge of Trucking Laws: Ensure the attorney is well-versed in both federal and state trucking regulations, such as hours-of-service rules and maintenance requirements.
Proven Track Record: Look for a lawyer with a history of successful settlements and verdicts in truck accident cases, demonstrating their ability to handle complex litigation.
Access to Expert Resources: The attorney should have connections with accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and investigators to strengthen your case.
Strong Negotiation Skills: A skilled negotiator can effectively deal with insurance companies and defense attorneys to seek a fair settlement.
Transparent Communication: Choose someone who communicates clearly, keeping you informed about your case’s progress and answering your questions promptly.
Positive Client Testimonials: Reviews from previous clients can provide insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and client satisfaction.
Contingency Fee Basis: Opt for a lawyer who works on a contingency fee, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only pay if they win your case.
Local Experience: An attorney familiar with Atlanta courts and local procedures can navigate your case more efficiently.
Personalized Attention: Ensure the lawyer is dedicated to your case, providing individualized service rather than treating you as just another file.

By considering these factors, you can select a truck accident lawyer who is equipped to handle your case effectively and help you secure the compensation you deserve.

Truck Accident Lawyer – Frequently Asked Questions

What makes truck accident cases different from car accidents?

Truck accidents involve commercial vehicles regulated by federal and state laws. Multiple parties may be liable, and the injuries are often more severe due to the size of the trucks. These factors make truck accident cases more complex.

How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Georgia?

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including truck accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. It’s important to act promptly to preserve your rights.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes, Georgia follows a comparative negligence rule. You can recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

What compensation can I receive after a truck accident?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and more. We’ll evaluate your case to determine all possible damages.

Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company offers a settlement?

Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts. Having an experienced truck accident lawyer ensures that you receive a fair settlement that truly reflects your losses.

How much does it cost to hire Burrow & Associates?

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you.

What if I can't travel due to my injuries?

No problem. Our attorneys can come to you, whether you’re at home or in the hospital, to discuss your case.

How long will my case take to resolve?

The timeline varies based on the complexity of the case and whether it goes to trial. We’ll provide an estimated timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.
