Ways the legal process protects truck accident victims

On Behalf of | Apr 11, 2019 | Firm News, Truck Accidents |

An unexpected collision with a semi-truck in Georgia can be terrifying and overwhelming for victims and their families. Commercial trucks are so much larger than the vehicles that they share the road with that an accident with one of them can result in catastrophic injuries and consequences to truck accident victims.

There are several different types of problems that a commercial truck poses on the roadways, which can spell danger for other drivers of passenger vehicles and motorcycles. The consequences of a truck accident can include debilitating and devastating injuries including traumatic brain injuries; spinal cord injuries and potential paralysis; internal injuries; and broken bones.

When a truck driver has been negligent, or a trucking company has negligently contributed a truck accident resulting in injury to the victim, depending on the circumstances it may be possible to hold the responsible parties liable to the truck accident victim. It is necessary for truck accident victims and their families to be familiar with their legal protections, including a personal injury claim for damages, which can help them with their physical, financial and emotional injuries.

A personal injury claim for damages can hold a negligent truck driver accountable if they failed to take the proper rest breaks or were in some other way negligent or careless in causing the truck accident. A personal injury claim for damages stands as a valuable resource to help truck accident victims get the help they need with their medical expenses, lost wages and emotional trauma associated with a truck accident. Legal guidance through the process can be useful.
