Commercial Truck Accidents are Not Like Other Accidents

Commercial vehicle, trucking, and tractor-trailer accident claims and lawsuits involve additional aspects of investigation beyond the typical factors that are often the focus of an auto accident case. Federal regulations that govern the operation of big rigs on our streets and highways must be examined in light of the circumstances of the trucking collision.

Truck accidents also involve a complex tangle of relationships between commercial shipping companies, vehicle owners, drivers and their various insurance carriers all looking to avoid responsibility in a crash. Victims and their families  tend to get lost in the blame game. The Manton Law Firm, LLC is committed to helping ensure clients have a voice and we work to hold those responsible for a truck accident.

Thorough, Aggressive Handling of Georgia Truck Accidents

If you were injured in a trucking accident in Georgia, some examples of areas that need to be investigated include the driver's log book to determine how many hours he or she had been driving; any training the driver had or had not undergone; and the maintenance record of the truck. Our investigation sometimes uncovers that the driver had a history of poor driving and/or wrecks, and the company should not have hired or retained this driver in light of the poor driving record. Another important factor to investigate is whether the vehicle's shipping load was properly secured and within the acceptable weight limits—if not then the business responsible for loading the freight may be responsible for the accident as well.

Aggressive handling of your personal injury insurance claim concerns and other aspects of an accidental injury or death involving a semi, tractor-trailer, eighteen-wheeler, or commercial utility vehicle such as a delivery truck, may lead to sources of compensation that will be of great assistance and relief to injured victims and their families.
