Atlanta Accident Attorney
Georgia Truck Accident Lawyer
Each year there are over 50,000 trucking accidents in the U.S, and approximately 5,000 people are killed in these trucking accidents. In fact, 1 out of 8 traffic fatalities involves a trucking accident. Another 90,000 people are injured in trucking accidents, many of these injuries being catastrophic. If you or a loved one are the victim of a trucking accident, it is important that you contact an experienced accident attorney immediately. Not only can trucking accidents cause death or catastrophic injuries, they also present a legal minefield. In addition to State laws, trucks are also regulated by the Federal Government under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. These regulations impose a myriad of responsibilities on the trucking industry. Some of these regulations involve licensing of drivers, driver’s qualifications, safety fitness procedures, special training requirements, preservation of records, controlled substance and alcohol testing of drivers, loading procedures, Pre-trip inspections and End of Day reports, proper warning devices, proper brakes, unauthorized passengers, and hours of service of the driver. Norman Miller has been practicing law since 1981 and spent eighteen years representing trucking companies before switching sides to represent victims of trucking accidents.
It is very important that immediately after a trucking accident that the trucking company preserve all pertinent records. These records include all driver’s files (including Driver’s Qualifications Files, Personnel Files, Payroll Records, Master Log files, etc.), dispatching logs and records, reports mechanically produced from the subject tractor/trailer’s on-board recording devices, all maintenance records, insurance applications, training program manuals, and drug and alcohol testing records. Immediately after a trucking accident you need an experienced trucking accident attorney to make sure that the trucking company does not destroy records you need to make out your case.
You may also need to hire a trucking accident reconstructionist to survey the accident scene and the truck itself before it is altered. Other experts that may need to be hired include trucking safety experts, biomechanical/biokinetic experts, neuropsychologists for head injuries, life care planners, and economists. Norman Miller can very often hire these expensive experts with no upfront payment from you. Call Norman Miller to let him handle your trucking accident case.
