Middle Georgia sits at the intersection of I-75 and I-16, two of the busiest freight corridors in the Southeast. Tractor-trailers carrying goods between Atlanta, Savannah, Jacksonville, and the port of Savannah pass through Macon 24 hours a day. Houston County’s location near I-75 and U.S. Route 129 makes it a hotspot for commercial truck crashes involving driver fatigue, unsecured loads, and federal trucking regulation violations. Truck accident cases differ from standard car wrecks because they involve FMCSA regulations, electronic logging device data, multiple insurance policies (often $1 million or more), and potential claims against the trucking company, broker, and maintenance provider. Evidence can be destroyed quickly — trucking companies send their own investigators to the scene within hours. The five firms below handle truck accident litigation in Middle Georgia.

FAQ
How is a truck accident case different from a car accident case?
Truck cases involve federal regulations from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) that govern driving hours, vehicle maintenance, cargo loading, and driver qualifications. Commercial trucks carry insurance policies of $1 million or more, compared to Georgia’s minimum $25,000 for passenger vehicles. Multiple parties can be liable — the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, and the maintenance provider. Electronic logging devices (ELDs) and dashcam footage must be preserved quickly because trucking companies routinely overwrite or destroy this data within 30 days.
What compensation can I recover in a truck accident?
Georgia law allows recovery for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. In cases involving drunk driving, extreme fatigue violations, or falsified logs, punitive damages may apply. Given the severity of injuries in truck crashes — spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injury, amputations, wrongful death — case values often reach six and seven figures.
How quickly do I need to act after a truck accident?
Immediately. Trucking companies send investigation teams to the scene within hours. ELD data, dashcam footage, dispatch records, and driver qualification files can be overwritten or destroyed unless your attorney sends a spoliation letter demanding preservation. The two-year statute of limitations applies, but the real deadline is measured in days for preserving evidence.
