Georgia Truck Accident Lawyer for Serious Injury Claims
Collisions involving large commercial trucks can change lives in seconds. An 18-wheeler can weigh up to 80,000 pounds—many times more than a passenger vehicle—making the injuries far more severe and the legal issues far more complex. Giannini Law Office, PC represents people injured in truck accidents across Georgia, providing focused, hands-on legal care when the stakes are highest.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different
Truck accident claims are not handled like typical car crashes. They often involve federal and state regulations, multiple insurance policies, and corporate defendants who move quickly to protect themselves. Evidence can disappear fast, and trucking companies frequently deploy investigators within hours of a crash. Having a lawyer who understands these dynamics helps level the playing field and protects your claim from day one.
Understanding Trucking Regulations and Violations
Commercial trucking is governed by strict safety rules designed to prevent accidents. When those rules are ignored, serious harm can follow. Truck accident investigations often involve reviewing:
- Driver hours-of-service limits and fatigue violations
- Electronic logging device and onboard data
- Maintenance, inspection, and repair records
- Driver training and supervision practices
Identifying violations such as overworked drivers or poorly maintained equipment can be key to proving fault and accountability.
Identifying Everyone Who May Be Responsible
Unlike a standard auto collision, a truck accident may involve several liable parties. Responsibility can extend beyond the driver to include:
- The trucking company
- A cargo loading or shipping company
- A maintenance provider
- A vehicle or parts manufacturer
We investigate thoroughly to identify every party that contributed to the crash, ensuring no source of compensation is overlooked.

The Injuries and Losses We See in Truck Crashes
Because of the force involved, truck accidents often cause catastrophic injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord and back injuries
- Multiple fractures and internal injuries
- Permanent disability
- Fatal injuries
Compensation in these cases may need to cover long-term medical care, future lost income, and lasting changes to quality of life. Claims are built to reflect the full impact—not just immediate bills.

In truck accident cases, timing matters. Electronic data can be overwritten, vehicles repaired, and records lost. Giannini Law Office, PC acts promptly to preserve evidence through formal notices and targeted investigation. When needed, specialized professionals are brought in to analyze vehicle damage, crash dynamics, and timing—helping establish what truly happened.
