AUTO ACCIDENTS

Automobile accidents are very common on Georgia’s highways, we see them everyday on the side of the road or highway, but if you are unfortunate enough to be injured in an automobile accident, you will soon find out that the process can be very complex, confusing and frustrating.

Immediately after the accident, an injured person is required to make many decisions in a very small amount of time.  At Davis Desautel Law Group, our experienced attorneys can help injured drivers or passengers with these confusing and painful issues.  Questions such as:

TRUCK ACCIDENTS

Accidents involving semi-trucks or tractor-trailer trucks are a different type of automobile accident.  Given the size and weight of these trucks, the injuries that occur from them are typically more severe.  Our clients who are injured in wrecks with semi-trucks are usually severely injured and their vehicles are typically total losses.  In addition to the significant injuries, the law applying to semi-trucks is different than the law for non-commercial automobiles.   

Generally, commercial trucks are subject to the laws of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act which applies to commercial trucks engaged in transportation of goods between states.  The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act requires drivers to be medically qualified and limits the amount of hours drivers can drive during a day and week.  Further, companies that engage in interstate transportation are required to carry specific insurance coverage. 

At Davis Desautel Law Group, our attorneys are experienced in handling cases involving commercial trucks and commercial trucking companies.  Call to speak directly with one of our attorneys today at (678) 352-9260 or e-mail us at inquires@ddlawgroup.com.
