Truck Accidents

Macon Trucking Accident Lawyer

Nothing will make a commercial transport company or their insurance carrier move faster than a trucking accident. In fact, trucking and insurance company representatives will often arrive at the scene mere hours after the accident has occurred. Why are they so aggressive?

One guess.

If you or a family member has been injured in a trucking accident, protect your interests and match that aggression quickly by contacting Nelson & Smith, the personal injury law firm for Middle Georgia.

At Nelson & Smith, LLC, we match the aggression that insurers and trucking companies show in trying to minimize or deny your claim with an equally aggressive approach that helps injured people recover the compensation they deserve. However, it is almost certain that "they" already have a head start and as a result, immediate action on your part is necessary to protect yourself. Our practice includes:

  • Commercial truck wreck accidents
  • Tractor-trailer jackknife accidents
  • 18-wheeler rollover accidents
  • Car-truck wreck accidents
  • Accidents caused by objects falling off flatbed trucks

What needs to be done after a trucking accident? The short answer is a lot. The longer answer includes immediate investigation, accident reconstruction, locating and interviewing potential witnesses, documenting accident debris, tire marks, and other evidence at the scene, reviewing police reports, securing the truck's "black box," preserving blood samples, and examining vehicle maintenance records.

Our firm has access to top experts in these areas and approaches every case as if it will go to trial. Because of this, we put our clients and ourselves in a much better position to deal with unreasonable insurance company lawyers and to negotiate fair settlement terms without the delay, expense, and uncertain outcomes a trial can bring.
