How Do I Choose a Good Truck Accident Lawyer?

Off the bat, it’s most helpful to you and your case if the lawyer you select to represent you in your claim is one who is familiar with handling semi trucks and accidents involving commercial vehicles. The processes for handling a bodily injury claim for a commercial vehicle accident differs significantly from those involving only standard passenger vehicles, so a truck accident attorney will be more particularly suited to the details of a claim involving a big rig. There is no lack of Atlanta, Georgia, lawyers eager to help potential claimants after collisions with semi-trucks. Accidents involving commercial vehicles, 18-wheelers, and other big rigs are high stakes because they often involve huge sums of money. Truck company insurance carriers have become known for ruthless tactics designed to disenfranchise the injured drivers and passengers of the smaller vehicles, many of whom are injured much more severely than the truck drivers. Whether your preference is to go with a large firm with a big staff and the benefit of deep pockets, or a solo practitioner who will give your case 100 percent of his or her focus, commitment, and energy, be sure that the attorney who will be working with you on your case is one who communicates with you effectively. Effective communication doesn’t necessarily mean constant, but you should know upfront:
  • when to expect progress reports;
  • who you will be conferring with about the details of your case;
  • who will be handling your case; and
  • how it will be handled.
