Serious injuries need a serious case
An 80,000-pound truck can change a life in a second. Your claim should account for the whole recovery, not just the first hospital bill.
Common truck crash injuries
- Traumatic brain injury, including concussions that affect memory, mood and work
- Spinal cord and back injuries, herniated discs and fractures
- Broken bones and crush injuries
- Burns from fires and hazardous cargo
- Internal injuries that may not be obvious at first
(Federal rules generally limit a loaded tractor-trailer to 80,000 pounds on interstate highways. )
What a claim can include
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Medical expenses | Emergency care, surgery, therapy, future treatment |
| Lost income | Missed work and reduced ability to earn in the future |
| Pain and suffering | Physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life |
| Property damage | Your vehicle and personal property |
When a crash is fatal
Georgia allows certain family members to bring a wrongful death claim, and the estate may bring a separate claim for medical and funeral expenses. We handle these cases with care and at your family's pace.
Document your recovery. Keep a simple journal of pain, appointments and the things you can't do. It helps tell your story.
