How do we calculate what you deserve from your Woodstock truck accident?

There are a lot of factors that go into figuring out what you’re due.  At Spaulding Injury Law, our Woodstock truck accident lawyers will evaluate your situation and explain what we can expect in understandable terms.  Among the things we consider include:

• Lost wages
• If your injuries are severe, will you lose future earnings, and what would those be?
• What are your past, current, and anticipated future medical expenses from the accident?
• Can your vehicle be repaired, or must it be replaced?
• Damages resulting from negligence on the part of the driver of the truck that caused the accident

We also consider your emotional, psychological, and physical pain and suffering.  These areas are often overlooked, but we know the emotional and psychological damage can be as bad as physical injuries.  We look out for you in all aspects of your life to make sure you’re made as whole as possible.

What makes a truck accident case more complicated?

To put it in the simplest terms, the bigger and heavier the vehicle, the more damage it can cause.  Unfortunately, the damage a tractor-trailer, 18-wheeler, semi, and other commercial vehicles can cause isn’t the only reason it’s complicated.

Drivers of commercial vehicles need a special license, so they have to undergo extensive training.  Laws and regulations impact the hours a commercial vehicle/truck driver can work.  They also must keep a log book documenting how many hours they drive on a daily basis.

The company a truck driver works for is also subject to federal, state, and local laws governing tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, and other large commercial vehicles.  The company must be licensed and indicate the cargo type the trucks contain.  

In most cases, crashes involving commercial trucks involve more than one vehicle. That means more intense litigation and negotiations.  

Who owns the truck also plays a part.  Does the driver own the truck or is he/she leasing it?  Does the driver work for a specific company or is he/she a freelancer?  The answers to those questions help determine those responsible for the truck accident.

You want to have the best possible Woodstock truck accident lawyer by your side to deal with the complications and make it easy for you to understand.  At Spaulding Injury Law, our experienced, trusted truck accident lawyers will be by your side every step of the way so you feel comfortable with the results.  

What if the Woodstock truck accident resulted in death?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), motor vehicle accidents resulted in 45,505 deaths in 2021, meaning 13.8% of deaths in Georgia involved a commercial vehicle, according to the National HIghway Transportation Safety Administration.  The emotional pain can be extreme if you lost a relative or loved one in an accident, especially a commercial truck accident.  

At Spaulding Injury Law, we understand and are here to help. While nothing can bring your loved one back, a wrongful death claim would at least help with expenses and ease the pain a bit.  

Under Georgia’s Wrongful Death Act (OCGA Section 51-4-2), family members and legal heirs are entitled to pursue a wrongful death case.  The purpose of the claim is to punish those responsible for the death and compensate you for the loss of your loved one’s life and the financial and emotional effects of their death.

Who is eligible to bring a wrongful death case in a Woodstock Truck Accident?

According to the Wrongful Death Act, you can bring a claim if you are the:

• Surviving spouse
• If there is no surviving spouse, any children
• Parents of the deceased if there is no surviving spouse or children
• The estate of the deceased if there is no surviving spouse or children

The experts at Spaulding Injury Law can help you decide whether you have grounds to bring a wrongful death case in Georgia.  After all, you’re family, and we want the best for you.

What are the most common causes of Woodstock Truck Accidents?

Commercial truck accidents are mostly caused by the following, according to the NHTSA:

• Exhaustion.  Driving a big rig is no easy task, so drivers aren’t allowed to drive for more than 11 hours, after which they must take a 10-hour break. That doesn’t always happen because of unrealistic expectations and delivery times.  
• Distracted driving.  Even car drivers can be distracted on longer-mileage drives.  Have you ever found yourself multitasking while driving?  Now, imagine driving for a dozen hours across boring landscapes in a semi, 18-wheeler, or tractor-trailer.  It’s easy to get distracted and start texting or walking on the phone. The results can be devastating.
• Poor maintenance and equipment failures.  Commercial trucks need a lot of maintenance because of the amount of time they’re on the road and the heavier loads they carry.  If it’s not properly maintained, it can lead to a serious accident.  For example, ensuring all the tires are in good condition before each trip is essential.  Maintenance checks should be done daily, but it doesn’t always happen.
• Bad weather.  Decreased visibility due to rain or snow makes it difficult for drivers of commercial vehicles to avoid hazards.  Wet or snow-covered roads can be slippery, causing differences in braking distances.  Strong winds can catch the semi and cause accidents.
