How to Receive Financial Compensation under Truck Accident Law

Many truck accidents result from driver negligence, such as excessive speed, not stopping at a red light, texting while driving, improperly changing lanes, failure to signal, etc. If you were injured due to driver negligence, then you can file a claim to seek compensation for your damages. Laws that relate to driving vehicles on the roads and highways can be found here for Georgia and here for Tennessee. When a trucking accident occurs, the rule of Georgia and Tennessee law helps determine the liability of the driver responsible for causing the accident. The law holds an “at-fault” driver financially responsible for any monetary damages that result from their negligence.

A person injured in a truck accident can file a claim against the party at fault through the liable party’s insurance company or by filing a legal claim in civil court. If you were involved in an accident with a truck and want to receive the maximum amount for your damages, it is strongly recommended that you contact a Chattanooga truck accident attorney as soon as possible.

How We Investigate Truck Accident Claims

At Dennis and King, we immediately begin our investigation of your truck accident injury case by visiting the scene of the accident and gathering and preserving evidence. A truck accident is different from a motor vehicle accident in that your Chattanooga truck accident lawyer must gather valuable information from a broad range of sources to prove negligence.

Our full investigation involves gathering evidence from all available sources, including:

• Global position systems, or “GPS”
• Drivers’ log sheets
• Black boxes, also known as an “electronic control module” (ECM) or “event data recorder” (EDR), which are installed on many 18-wheelers and other commercial vehicles
• Truck maintenance records and history
• National databases regarding out-of-state organizations
• Police reports

If a Georgia or Tennessee big truck accident injured you, you have to act quickly to preserve evidence and begin your investigation. Fortunately, the Georgia and Tennessee accident lawyers at Dennis and King have years of experience and are prepared to fight for your case. We have secured millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for our clients. Let us help you!

There are five things to consider as you look for a Chattanooga truck accident lawyer:

1. Experience – experience is a key indicator of an attorney’s knowledge in their area of practice, but you should look beyond the amount of years an attorney has been in practice. When evaluating experience, look for attorneys who focus on the area of law under which your case falls, the types of cases they handle and how they have resolved them. Tricia Dennis and Russell King have many decades of experience in both successfully settling personal injury cases through settlement negotiations and obtaining winning verdicts in trial. Our wide experience means we have the ability to use both the tools of settlement and, if necessary, the tools of the courtroom to maximize the value of your Tennessee or Georgia truck accident case.

2. Truck Accident Experience – Experience is not created equally. Just because an attorney has years of legal experience does not mean they have the right kind of experience for your truck accident case. Truck accident cases are very complex. They usually involve serious injuries, numerous state and federal regulations, and many potential causes. Trucking companies and their insurance companies are large and powerful corporations that have huge resources to go to war against your claim. They fight to pay as little as possible, if anything at all. By working with proven Georgia and Tennessee truck accident attorneys at Dennis and King, you benefit from working with attorneys who have hands-on experience maximizing the value of your truck accident case.

3. Resources – Truck accident cases are expensive. Trucking companies and their insurance companies are willing to spend thousands of dollars to defend themselves. So, you must choose an attorney or law firm that has the resources to conduct thorough investigations, hire and work with medical and expert witnesses like engineers, and take a case to trial if necessary. Our firm has achieved successful results for clients throughout the years in part because we have the resources to level the playing field with powerful trucking and insurance companies that place profits over people.

4. Reputation – How former clients, other attorneys and local communities regard an attorney and their firm is important. Always look at law firm’s ratings and client testimonials. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT HIRING A TV SETTLEMENT MILL THAT WILL SIMPLY “PROCESS” YOUR CLAIM. Dennis and King are Chattanooga car and truck accident lawyers who have been practicing for a combined 75 years in this community. We understand the court systems of both Tennessee and Georgia. We probably even know the doctors treating you. We have conducted enough trials, we understand the jury hearing your case.

5. Record of success – Although all personal injury cases are different and result do not guarantee success in your case, an attorney’s record of success offers evidence of their ability to successfully handle and resolve cases. At Dennis and King, we have recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for our clients, including those harmed in truck accidents. As you can see from our testimonials, our clients trust us and are satisfied with the personal service we give each client.

When you consider the factors needed to succeed in your Georgia or Tennessee truck accident case, it becomes clear that Dennis and King has the experience, resources, and determination to help truck accident victims and their loved ones navigate their legal journeys and pursue the maximum compensation possible.
