Every auto accident is traumatic. Big rig accidents are often even more so.

You shouldn’t have to suffer the consequences of an auto accident on your own. Our Carrollton big rig accident attorney can pursue compensation for everything you’ve lost.
At Bader Scott Injury Lawyers, we strive to be a team of advocates for injured truck accident victims. From the beginning to the end of your case, we will fight for what’s right for you.

The Roles Our Big Rig Collision Lawyers Can Play in Your Case
At Bader Scott Injury Lawyers, we serve injured Georgians by keeping the focus where it belongs: on your experiences. Personal injury cases—especially ones involving big rigs and trucking companies—too often get stuck and halted on the details. Our Carrollton truck accident lawyers work to ensure we never forget the people behind each case.

When working with our award-winning team of lawyers, you actually work with them. Our attorneys work directly with you, and our staff provides additional support where needed.
We Investigate
One of the many roles we take on is that of an investigator. Our attorneys as well as our staff can:
- Interview eyewitnesses from the scene
- Request police reports and traffic camera footage
- Investigate the truck driver and their history
- Obtain dash cam footage, logs, and other truck records

Your Compensation Options for a Big Rig Accident
If you were injured by a negligent truck driver, we can discuss how to pursue damages that fit your situation. Possible compensation includes:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost income during your recovery
- Projected future loss of income
- Personal losses like pain and suffering
Big Trucks Cause Big Bills
Appropriate damages are particularly crucial in big rig accidents. As the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) points out, the increased size of commercial trucks likewise increases the risk of serious injuries. That could include spinal cord injuries, loss of limb, traumatic brain injuries, or permanent disabilities.
Serious injuries take time to heal, and you need time to grasp your new normal. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that over three-quarters of auto accident costs occur within 18 months of the injury. If an insurance or trucking company tries to settle with you immediately after a crash, that settlement amount potentially fails to include many future expenses.
Our big rig accident lawyers in Carrollton can help make an accurate tally of what you lost in your crash. Not only do we gather evidence to understand your losses, but we also use that evidence to negotiate for a settlement.

Leave Identifying Your Big Rig Crash’s Cause to Us
One of the most fundamental pieces of advice for navigating an auto accident is not to offer an insurer more information than you must. That includes speculating about what happened.
Don’t feel pressured to guess or make assumptions. Instead, refer to Bader Scott Injury Lawyers. Through our investigation, we can determine what negligence contributed to your accident.
For example, these are just a few possible causes for your big rig accident:
- Drowsy driving – Drivers are required to adhere to hours-of-service regulations but are known to violate them according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
- Impaired driving – Reuters reports that drug use is high among commercial truck drivers, and one study showed American drivers had the highest frequency of positive drunk driving tests in the world.
- Failure to look – The FMCSA estimates that a third of collisions with trucks occur in “No-Zones,” areas where truck drivers have significant blind spots.
- Following too closely – Trucks need more stopping distance, so a big rig driver who fails to provide enough space is negligent.
These are just a few examples of driver negligence. Trucking companies are often liable for their drivers and must uphold their own duty of care. If they were negligent by hiring a driver with a bad record, failed to train their employees, or overworked their drivers and violated regulations, they are also responsible for your injuries.
