Truck Accident FAQs
What should I do after a truck accident?
When a truck hits you, you’ll need a lawyer to act fast to preserve the crash evidence. The trucking company has critical evidence, such as the crash data recorder, dash cam video footage, and driver’s logs, that must be preserved immediately.
Can I sue the company that employed the truck driver?
If the truck driver was driving in the scope of his employment at the time of the collision, you can sue his employer for your losses. Many employers deny liability, so you’ll need a lawyer to collect evidence proving the driver was on the job.
How much does it cost to hire a truck accident lawyer?
Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay fees if we recover compensation. You shouldn’t hire a lawyer who won’t handle your case on a contingency fee basis.
How long do I have to sue a truck driver?
Georgia law gives accident victims two years from the date of the collision to sue the truck driver. The sooner you hire a lawyer the better, as evidence preservation and investigation take time.
Why should I hire Graham Scofield Injury Lawyers?
We have the time, dedication, and resources to recover every last insurance dollar that you’re entitled to receive. We’re not afraid to litigate challenging cases and have recovered tens of millions in truck accident cases.
