Our Brookhaven Attorneys Pursue the Full Cost of Your Damages
Our law firm understands how difficult it can be to think about insurance claims and lawsuits while you are in the hospital or still undergoing treatment for your injuries. However, getting started building your case early is important. Once you let our team know about your crash, we will begin an investigation while you focus on healing.
One key part of our investigation into any truck collision case is identifying, documenting, and valuing your recoverable damages. This includes the expenses and losses you incurred because of the crash. We gather paperwork and take other steps to better understand your recoverable damages and their values, which could include:
- Medical bills and related costs (current and future)
- Ongoing care and support expenses
- Income losses
- Reduced ability to work and earn due to long-term injuries
- Property damages, such as your car’s repair bills
- Miscellaneous expenses with receipts or other documentation
- Pain and suffering
- Other non-economic damages, such as mental anguish, loss of consortium, and loss of enjoyment of life
Our personal injury attorneys can also pursue the cost of anything you spent out of pocket on childcare services, lawncare maintenance, and other necessities.
Our Brookhaven Wrongful Death Lawyers Can Recover These Losses
Some cargo truck accident injuries are fatal. If you lost a loved one in this type of crash, a Brookhaven wrongful death attorney from our team offers a shoulder to lean on. We represent immediate family members—spouses, children, parents, and personal representatives—who want to get justice under O.C.G.A. § 51-4-2.
Georgia code allows these parties to pursue fair compensation for their family’s expenses and losses following a fatal truck accident. Examples include funeral costs, burial expenses, and end-of-life care fees, such as hospice.

Our Brookhaven Cargo Truck Crash Lawyers Identify the Liable Party
Who is liable for a cargo truck accident depends greatly on the circumstances. Like other types of auto accident cases, our Brookhaven lawyers investigate what happened and gather evidence to show negligence and liability. This boils down to who caused the collision and who is legally responsible.
Potentially liable parties in cargo truck accidents could include:
- The driver, if an individual owned or rented the truck
- A company, if the driver was working at the time of the crash
- The truck’s owner, if they failed to ensure the driver could operate the truck safely
- The owner of the cargo, if they loaded it in an unsafe way, and this caused the crash
Sometimes, more than one party shares liability in these accidents. Our Brookhaven truck accident lawyers know how to investigate the crash and determine what happened. We gather evidence to support a compelling claim and use it to hold the liable party or parties accountable.
Our Cargo Truck Collision Attorneys Manage the Claims Process
If you or a loved one suffered severe injuries in a Brookhaven cargo truck accident, we cannot overemphasize the importance of prompt legal action. We can go to work on your case as soon as you call, allowing us to protect your rights and gather evidence from the start.
Once we understand your prognosis and have a compelling case, we can demand compensation from the liable parties and their insurance carriers. Or, depending on your situation, we can prepare to take the case to trial. Most cases settle outside of court, with negotiations leading to a fair settlement agreement.
When this occurs, it effectively ends the case. Our client receives the money they deserve, and we ensure the agreement is legally sound. You do not want to accept an agreement from an insurance company without having a knowledgeable truck accident attorney review it first.
Statute of Limitations on Brookhaven Truck Accident Lawsuits
There is a deadline for suing for compensation after a Brookhaven cargo truck accident. Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, we usually have two years from the accident date or day your loved one passed away to begin a personal injury lawsuit. Because of how short this deadline is, we urge you to connect with our lawyers at your earliest convenience.
