When a tractor trailer collides with a passenger car, the aftermath can be devastating. Injuries are often catastrophic, if not fatal. In the blink of an eye, families are turned upside down. You are faced with losing time at work and with mounting medical bills. Your vehicle has been damaged or totaled. At the J. Stein Law Firm, we provide compassionate legal care to truck accident victims throughout Georgia to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. We help you navigate the claims process with confidence so that you can focus on your family.

Truck accidents are different than automobile accidents and you need a lawyer and law firm that understands those differences. The J. Stein Law Firm is that firm.

Types of injuries an Atlanta truck accident lawyer can help you with

A laden tractor trailer can weigh more than 35,000 pounds. Even when traveling at low speeds, these metal behemoths are capable of causing terrible traffic accidents. While a rear-end collision between two passenger cars may result in minor injuries, when the same accident involves an 18-wheeler, life-changing injuries may occur, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spine and back injuries
  • Paraplegia
  • Quadriplegia
  • Limb amputation
  • Severe disfigurement

These types of conditions result in a permanent change to your quality of life. Further, they require life-long care and treatment. If you or someone you love suffers a catastrophic injury because of a semi-truck crash, let the J. Stein Law Firm help you obtain just compensation.

Parties at fault in a trucking accident

If you are injured in a trucking accident in Georgia, the following parties may be at fault:

  • Driver — The driver may be at fault if your accident was caused by driver distraction, intoxication, speeding, reckless driving, or fatigue.
  • Truck manufacturer — The vehicle manufacturer may be liable for your injuries if your accident was caused by a malfunctioning automotive component. For example, defective brakes or tires.
  • Trucking company — Trucking companies must hire licensed drivers. Additionally, they must make sure their fleet is well-maintained and up to code. This includes regular inspections as well as drug tests for all drivers.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, any number of the above parties may be at fault.

My child had a minor accident at a daycare facility, and multiple attorneys told me they wouldn’t take my case because the damages were minimal. I felt hopeless until I reached out to Josh & Derrick Cooper. To my surprise, they took my case without hesitation! I honestly didn’t expect much, but they went above and beyond, securing a settlement that was far more than I ever imagined. As a college student and single mother, I was scared and unsure of where to turn, but Derrick assured me from the start that he would take care of everything—and he did. I’m beyond grateful for their hard work and dedication. If you need an attorney who truly cares and fights for you, this is the team to call. Highly recommend!

Josh is a great guy and a well respected attorney in maybe the most competitive and cut throat legal community in the country. It's good to see a guy give back to the community he was raised in and also provide a platform with his podcast to engage others in the legal field. One of the best firms in Atlanta!!
