Common Injuries in Truck Accidents
Trucking accidents are among the most serious and deadly accidents that occur on roadways and highways. Sadly, these accidents occur on a daily basis, often with catastrophic consequences. In the event of a collision, the sheer size and weight of eighteen-wheelers and other large commercial vehicles can tremendously impact the health and safety of the individuals involved.
Victims can sustain a wide range of serious injuries in truck accidents, such as:
- Burns
- Paralysis
- Spinal cord injuries
- Cuts and lacerations
- Broken bones and fractures

4 Steps to Take After a Georgia Truck Accident
If you or a loved one was involved in a truck or commercial vehicle accident, it’s important to seek immediate counsel from a qualified truck accident attorney to recover damages for your injuries.
Below are some essential steps to take after a Georgia trucking accident:
- Call emergency services. For your own safety, make sure you report the truck accident to the appropriate authorities as soon as possible.
- Document the scene. If possible, document the accident site by taking photos and videos. Exchanging contact information with eyewitnesses may also be valuable to recover damages in court.
- Seek medical attention. Even if you lack noticeable injuries, seeking prompt medical care is crucial to rule out serious underlying injuries, such as internal bleeding or concussion. This will also help you establish a paper trail that documents the truck accident and provides critical evidence of your resulting injuries to support your claim.
- Don’t speak to insurance companies without legal representation. Refrain from direct negotiations with other involved parties and their insurers until you secure experienced representation from a skilled truck accident attorney. Seeking prompt legal counsel is important to protect your rights and obtain fair compensation.
Recovering Damages in a Truck Accident Lawsuit
Truck accident injuries can result in long-term medical treatment, physical therapy, and emotional trauma. They may also lead to significant financial burdens for victims and their families, as well as a diminished quality of life. In severe cases, truck accidents can even lead to fatalities, opening the door to wrongful death lawsuits.
If you or a loved one was injured in a truck accident, you have the right to seek compensation for various losses, including:
- Economic damages: These cover financial losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage.
- Non-economic damages: These cover non-financial losses, such as pain and suffering, loss of consortium, disability and disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Punitive damages: These are awarded in rare cases involving extreme negligence. Unlike other damages, punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant and deter future behavior rather than compensate the victim.
In a truck accident, the resulting damages can be catastrophic. At DGL Attorneys At Law, our Atlanta lawyers are committed to protecting your rights against large insurers and transportation companies who may seek to take advantage of you with lowballed settlements and other evasive tactics. We can collaborate closely with you to calculate the extent of your damages and fight to recover fair compensation on your behalf.
