Kenneth S. Nugent PC, a Georgia personal injury law firm, has expanded its specialized legal resources for commercial truck accident cases across its nine statewide offices, responding to continued high rates of 18-wheeler collisions on Georgia highways.
The expansion includes dedicated investigation teams trained in federal motor carrier regulations, enhanced evidence preservation protocols, and additional legal staff specializing in commercial vehicle accident litigation. The initiative comes as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration data indicates large trucks were involved in 4,965 fatal crashes nationwide in recent years.
"Commercial truck accident cases require immediate action to preserve critical evidence, including driver logs, maintenance records, and electronic data," stated Chris Dietz, Marketing Manager at Kenneth S. Nugent PC. "Our expanded resources allow us to deploy investigation teams quickly to accident scenes and begin documenting evidence before it disappears."
The firm's enhanced capabilities address the complex nature of 18-wheeler accident cases, which often involve multiple parties, including trucking companies, maintenance providers, cargo loaders, and insurance carriers. Federal regulations governing commercial vehicles add layers of complexity not present in standard automobile accident cases.
Georgia ranks among the top states for commercial vehicle accidents, with major interstate highways serving as primary trucking corridors. Common factors in these accidents include driver fatigue, improper cargo loading, inadequate vehicle maintenance, and violations of hours-of-service regulations mandated by federal law.
The legal framework surrounding commercial truck accidents differs significantly from passenger vehicle collisions. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations establish specific standards for driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance, cargo securement, and electronic logging devices. Violations of these regulations can establish liability in accident cases.
Victims of 18-wheeler accidents frequently sustain catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures, and internal organ damage. Medical treatment costs for these injuries often exceed insurance policy limits available in standard automobile accidents, necessitating a thorough investigation of all available coverage sources.
The firm's expanded resources include partnerships with accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and trucking industry specialists who provide technical analysis in complex cases. These experts assist in determining causation, establishing liability, and documenting the full extent of damages.
Kenneth S. Nugent PC operates offices in Albany, Athens, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Duluth, Macon, Savannah, and Valdosta. The firm provides free case evaluations and operates on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases, meaning clients pay no attorney fees unless compensation is recovered.
The expansion of 18-wheeler accident legal resources reflects the growing demand for specialized representation in commercial vehicle accident cases. The firm's approach includes comprehensive investigation of driver logs, maintenance records, black box data, and compliance with state and federal regulations.
