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.
