Truck Accidents cases in Roswell
GA-400, I-285, and I-75 carry heavy commercial traffic through metro Atlanta. We represent injured people and families hit by tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles in Fulton, Cobb, Cherokee, and Forsyth counties.
Roswell sits at the intersection of GA-400 and the Chattahoochee corridor, with steady commercial trucking and heavy commuter volume on GA-400, I-285, and Roswell Road. Crashes along these arteries — and on neighborhood streets across North Fulton — frequently produce serious injuries. We handle Fulton County injury claims along with cases in Cobb, Cherokee, Forsyth, and DeKalb counties.
What to do after a truck accidents injury in Roswell
- Get emergency medical care and follow through on every recommended scan.
- Make sure the responding officer notes the truck's DOT and trailer numbers.
- Photograph the truck, trailer, placards, license plate, and any debris field.
- Get the trucking company's name from the door, not from the driver's word.
- Do not speak to the trucking company's insurer or risk adjuster without a lawyer.
- Talk to a lawyer immediately so a preservation-of-evidence letter goes out before logs are overwritten.
Why hire a Roswell truck accidents lawyer?
Trucking cases are not 'big car crashes.' Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, hours-of-service rules, electronic logging devices, driver qualification files, drug-testing records, maintenance logs, and corporate safety practices all become evidence. Multiple parties — driver, motor carrier, broker, shipper, maintenance contractor — may share liability, and each carries its own insurance. A lawyer who knows these cases pulls every available layer of coverage.
Georgia law that affects your Roswell case
Florida and Georgia follows the same two-year statute of limitations and modified comparative fault rule for trucking cases, but federal regulations on commercial motor carriers layer on top. Trucking companies are usually responsible for the actions of their drivers under respondeat superior, and may also be directly liable for negligent hiring, training, supervision, or maintenance.
