Protecting Your Rights After a Commercial Vehicle Accident – Get the Compensation You Deserve with Cobb Personal Injury.

Protecting Truck Accident Victims – Experience, Compassion, and Results You Can Rely On

Georgia’s economy depends on tractor-trailers, delivery trucks, and other commercial vehicles to transport essential goods throughout the state. Unfortunately, despite strict regulations requiring training, inspections, and rest breaks, negligent truck drivers continue to pose serious risks on our highways and local roads. Accidents involving semi-trucks, delivery vans, and other large commercial vehicles can be devastating. Due to their massive size and speed, these vehicles can cause catastrophic injuries to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians in the event of a crash.

The experienced attorneys at Cobb Personal Injury have years of success fighting against large insurance companies and corporate defense teams. We ensure that our clients are treated with dignity, respect, and compassion throughout the legal process. Contact us today for a free consultation to learn how we can help protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve after a commercial vehicle accident.

Semi-Truck Accident

Because of their massive size and weight, tractor-trailer and big-rig accidents often result in catastrophic damage and life-threatening injuries. Truck rollovers, jackknife crashes, tire blowouts, and underride collisions where smaller vehicles slide beneath large trucks are among the most dangerous types of commercial vehicle accidents. Common causes include driver fatigue, distracted driving, speeding, substance use, poor vehicle maintenance, inadequate training, and unqualified drivers.

If a negligent truck driver caused your injuries or the loss of a loved one, reach out to Cobb Personal Injury today. Our experienced attorneys are ready to aggressively pursue justice and fight for the maximum compensation available under Georgia law.

Truck Driver Laws in Georgia

Federal and Georgia state laws require commercial truck drivers to adhere to strict regulations involving vehicle inspections, cargo loading, hours of service, and overall safety compliance. Drivers hauling goods or passengers must follow driving time limits and take mandatory rest breaks to reduce the risk of fatigue-related accidents. Unfortunately, some negligent drivers disregard these safety rules, and certain trucking companies may overlook or even encourage unsafe practices, putting others on the road in danger.

Determining the Value of a Commercial Truck Accident Claim

We conduct a thorough investigation of your commercial truck accident to identify all responsible parties and compile a detailed list of the damages and losses you’ve sustained. Depending on the circumstances of the crash, the severity of your injuries, and the extent of your financial and emotional hardships, your case may be worth a significant settlement. The attorneys at Cobb Personal Injury work tirelessly to ensure you receive full compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages such as pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

Because semi-truck collisions are often extremely violent, many victims of commercial vehicle accidents experience lasting emotional trauma and PTSD. At Cobb Personal Injury, our skilled attorneys are committed to pursuing full compensation for your losses. We work to help you recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and damages for pain, suffering, and emotional distress caused by the accident.

Determining Liability in a Semi-Truck Accident

After a commercial vehicle accident, the attorneys at Cobb Personal Injury pursue every possible source of compensation by identifying all responsible parties. This may include the truck driver, the vehicle owner, the dispatch company, and even the maintenance provider. Each of these parties typically carries its own commercial insurance policy and has a team of lawyers working to protect their interests. To level the playing field, you need the best semi-truck accident attorneys on your side, Cobb Personal Injury will fight for your rights during insurance claims and settlement negotiations.

Common causes of these accidents include improperly secured cargo, distracted or impaired driving, and excessive speeding. If a negligent commercial truck driver caused your injuries, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and emotional suffering.

Amazon Delivery Driver Accidents

Amazon operates thousands of trucks, vans, and cars across Georgia to meet daily delivery demands. If you are involved in an accident with an Amazon semi-truck, delivery van, or Amazon Flex vehicle, the driver is typically covered by a commercial insurance policy provided they were on the clock at the time of the crash. This coverage applies whether the driver was a contract worker using a personal vehicle or a full-time employee driving a company-owned truck. However, if the driver was off the clock during the accident, you may need to file a claim against their personal insurance policy instead.

Amazon Flex Insurance Coverage

Amazon Flex drivers operate as independent contractors, using their personal vehicles to deliver packages for Amazon. If an Amazon Flex driver was on duty at the time of the accident and found to be at fault, both the driver and the injured party are covered under Amazon’s commercial insurance policy, which provides up to $1 million in coverage for damages and injuries.

Amazon Delivery Van and Amazon Prime Truck Insurance Coverage

Unlike Amazon Flex insurance, coverage for Amazon delivery trucks and vans is often governed by more complex commercial insurance policies. The terms, limits, and availability of coverage under these third-party policies can vary significantly based on the specific details and circumstances of each case. The attorneys at Cobb Personal Injury can help you navigate these complexities and determine the best course of action to recover full compensation for your losses.

Determining Liability in an Amazon Truck Accident

After an accident involving an Amazon vehicle, a skilled personal injury attorney can help identify all parties who may be legally and financially responsible for your injuries. In an Amazon Flex accident, both the driver and Amazon may share liability for any damages caused by negligent actions. If you were struck by an Amazon delivery truck or van, potential liable parties could include the driver, Amazon, and any third-party shipping companies involved in the delivery operation.

The attorneys at Cobb Personal Injury will aggressively pursue every available source of compensation to ensure you receive the money you need for medical care, lost wages, and recovery from both physical injuries and emotional distress.

Accidents Involving Amazon Trucks

If you’ve been injured in an accident involving an Amazon truck, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, property damage, and other related losses.

However, Amazon accident claims can be challenging. The company often attempts to deny responsibility for crashes caused by its delivery drivers, making it harder for victims to secure the full and fair compensation they deserve. The experienced team at Cobb Personal Injury can help you navigate these complex claims and fight to protect your rights.

Schedule a consultation with a skilled commercial vehicle accident attorney to review your case and ensure your rights are fully protected.

Do not speak with Amazon or any of their insurance representatives until you understand your legal position. Any statements you make could be used against you to deny your claim or reduce your compensation. The experienced Amazon accident lawyers at Cobb Personal Injury will evaluate your case, explain your best legal options, and guide you toward the most effective strategy for pursuing maximum recovery.

Delivery Van Accidents

Accidents involving delivery vans or company-owned trucks are often more complicated than standard personal injury claims. Multiple parties may share responsibility for causing the crash or worsening your injuries. Instead of dealing with insurance adjusters, evidence collection, and legal disputes on your own, your focus should be on recovery. Contact Cobb Personal Injury today to schedule a free consultation and learn more about your legal options. Our experienced commercial truck accident attorneys will carefully evaluate your case and provide clear, honest guidance on the best path forward.

Steps to Take After a Large Truck Accident

After a commercial truck accident, you should first check for injuries and call for emergency assistance right away. Responding police officers will document visible damages and injuries at the scene and prepare an official accident report. If injuries are serious, emergency medical services should be called to provide care and transport victims to the hospital.

Before leaving the scene, gather essential information from the truck driver, including their contact details, driver’s license, and insurance information. If it’s safe, take photos of your injuries, vehicle damage, and the surrounding area. Collect witness contact information and note any details about what happened before, during, and after the crash.

It’s crucial to seek medical attention after a commercial vehicle accident, even if you don’t feel seriously hurt. Collisions involving large trucks can cause significant injuries, including broken bones, deep cuts, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Some symptoms may appear hours or days later, so prompt evaluation is vital. Your medical records will help prevent long-term complications and serve as key evidence when pursuing a claim against the driver or trucking company.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do most personal injury cases settle at mediation?

Personal injury cases do not always settle at mediation. While insurance companies may offer a settlement on behalf of a party you are suing, there is no guarantee that the settlement offered is fair. It is always best to confer with a lawyer to learn how much you can hope to get in settlement depending on the evidence you have, the nature and seriousness of the injury and the complexity of the legal question involved.

Is it worth hiring a personal injury attorney?

It is worth hiring a personal injury attorney only if the personal injury attorney is trustworthy and competent. Your chance of getting compensation for injury done to you depends on the work, skills. experience, and time of the personal injury attorney. Note as well that many personal injury attorneys do not earn remuneration for their services if the clients they represent do not receive a settlement of a claim or an award in litigation.

How much do personal injury lawyers cost?

Most personal injury lawyers charge a contingency fee. This means that they cannot demand upfront payment for legal services from you but they may charge you instead anywhere from 25-40% of all monies settled or awarded to you through their efforts. It depends on the experience and reputation of the lawyer, on the amount of work necessary to successfully prosecute your claim, and other factors.
