Truck crashes can cause devastating injuries, and dealing with the trucking company’s insurer is never easy. Whether you were rear-ended by an 18-wheeler on I-95, sideswiped on Abercorn Street, or hit by a commercial delivery truck near Savannah’s port terminals, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent truck accident victims across Savannah, Pooler, Garden City, and Chatham County. We know how to investigate trucking companies, hold them accountable, and fight for the full financial recovery you deserve.
What Causes Truck Accidents?
Truck drivers and their employers must follow strict safety rules. When they don’t, innocent people get hurt.
Common causes of truck crashes include:
- Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Overloaded or unsecured cargo
- Brake failure or poor truck maintenance
- Inadequate training or negligent hiring
We investigate your crash to determine the exact cause, and who should be held liable.
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
Truck accident cases often involve multiple parties, not just the driver.
Liable parties may include:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company or freight carrier
- A third-party maintenance or repair company
- A cargo loading contractor
- A manufacturer of faulty truck parts
- Another driver in a multi-vehicle collision
We examine logbooks, maintenance records, black box data, and employment files to build a strong claim.
Common Injuries in Truck Accidents
Because of their size and weight, trucks often cause life-altering injuries in a crash.
We help clients recover from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and orthopedic trauma
- Crush injuries and amputations
- Internal organ damage
- Severe burns or disfigurement
- Wrongful death
We work with your doctors and long-term care experts to calculate your medical needs and future expenses.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were injured due to trucking company negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and surgeries
- Ongoing treatment, rehab, and in-home care
- Lost wages and loss of future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma or PTSD
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Property damage (vehicle loss)
- Funeral expenses (in fatal truck crashes)
We negotiate firmly with the trucking company’s insurer and take your case to trial if needed.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are More Complex
Trucking companies and insurers move fast after a crash often sending investigators to the scene within hours. They’ll do everything possible to protect their interests.
At Ted Law Firm, we move just as fast to:
- Preserve crash data and black box evidence
- Document driver log violations and maintenance issues
- Identify all responsible parties and insurance coverage
- Prepare your case for litigation from day one
We don’t let trucking companies avoid responsibility.
