Seeking compensation after a cargo truck accident can prove challenging. You might have to deal with more than one insurance policy, for example. You don’t have to handle your case on your own, though. Whether you are filing an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit, a lawyer can help.
A Carrollton cargo truck accident attorney from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers can deal with insurers and go after the financial recovery you deserve for your injuries and other losses.
How a Carrollton Cargo Truck Accident Lawyer Can Help
You can focus on your health and well-being if you put your injury claim in the hands of a tractor-trailer accident attorney. We can do the heavy lifting on your case while you rest and recuperate from your wounds.
These are just a few examples of the many services we provide for clients who get injured in cargo truck collisions caused by someone else’s negligence:
- We listen to you and take the time to answer your questions. You deserve responsive legal care, and that is what we deliver.
- We explain the process of injury claims in litigation so that you know what to expect.
- We perform a thorough investigation of the crash. We will be looking for answers to any liability or causation questions involved in the accident.
- We collect evidence to build your claim for compensation from the at-fault party who caused the collision. This evidence can include things like your medical records, employment records, police reports, witness testimony, and security camera footage, if available.
- We provide the information the insurance company needs to evaluate your claim so that you are free to rest instead of having to deal with the defendant’s insurer.
- We try to settle your injury claim for a fair amount by negotiating with the at-fault party’s insurance company. If they will not pay a reasonable amount of money for your damages, and it is appropriate to do so, we can file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your losses.
- We can continue negotiating with the defendant’s insurance carrier even after filing a lawsuit. Most of these cases settle out of court. If your case still does not get resolved amicably, we can take the case to trial.
There are many other tasks we will need to perform during the process of handling your injury case. We tailor our activities to the specific needs of your Carrollton cargo truck collision injury claim.

Damages You Can Pursue After a Truck Crash in Carrollton, Georgia
The actual types of money damages you can go after from the at-fault party for your injuries and losses from a tractor-trailer collision in Georgia will depend on the specific details of your situation.
Here are a few examples of the common categories of losses people pursue after a Carrollton truck accident:
- If you could not work because of your injuries, you can seek awards for lost wages.
- You could pursue damages for reduced earning capacity if you have long-term impairments that prevent you from earning your pre-injury income. Things like loss of function, chronic pain, and loss of strength could render you unable to earn as much income as you did before the collision. You might have to reduce your working hours or take a lower-paying position.
- You can seek recovery for the cost of the healthcare services. This category can include ambulatory care, diagnostic procedures, imaging studies (like CAT scans or x-rays), hospital stays, doctor’s appointments, physical therapy, and prescription drugs.
- Future medical bills may also warrant compensation. If you will require ongoing medical care, you want to make sure your settlement reflects this.
- People who get hurt in crashes involving cargo trucks often experience physical discomfort, inconvenience, and emotional distress. We can include this loss, called pain and suffering, in your claim.
We can seek compensation for the loss of a loved one, as well. Typically, a representative of the estate files a wrongful death lawsuit. We can determine who in your family can file.
