Kenneth S. Nugent PC continues to provide specialized legal representation for Georgia residents injured in commercial truck accidents, addressing the complex challenges these cases present compared to standard vehicle collisions. The Augusta-based personal injury firm maintains dedicated resources for victims of 18-wheeler accidents across the state's major highways and transportation corridors.
Commercial truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the significant size and weight disparity between 18-wheelers and passenger vehicles. These cases involve multiple liable parties, federal trucking regulations, and extensive insurance policies that require specialized legal expertise to navigate effectively.
"When someone is injured in an 18-wheeler accident, they face immediate medical concerns while dealing with aggressive insurance companies and trucking corporations that have teams of lawyers protecting their interests," said Chris Dietz, spokesperson at the firm. "Our role is to level that playing field by conducting thorough investigations, securing critical evidence like driver logs and maintenance records, and ensuring victims receive the compensation they need for medical bills, lost wages, and long-term care."
The firm's approach to 18-wheeler accident cases begins with immediate action to preserve evidence that might otherwise disappear. This includes obtaining electronic logging device data, driver qualification files, inspection reports, and witness statements. The legal team also works with accident reconstruction experts and medical professionals to build comprehensive cases that demonstrate both liability and the full extent of damages.
Georgia's position as a major transportation hub means thousands of commercial trucks traverse the state daily, increasing the risk of serious accidents. Common causes of these incidents include driver fatigue, improper loading, inadequate maintenance, and violations of hours-of-service regulations. Each factor requires careful investigation and documentation to establish negligence.
The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay no attorney fees unless compensation is recovered. The firm also provides free initial consultations to evaluate cases and explain legal options.
"The aftermath of a truck accident can be overwhelming for victims and their families," Dietz added. "Beyond the physical injuries, there are often emotional trauma and financial hardships that extend far into the future. Our commitment is to handle every aspect of the legal process so clients can focus on their recovery while we fight for maximum compensation."
