Cargo trucks carry most of the Nation’s goods every day. Anything you see on the shelf of a store was most likely brought to towns like Athens on cargo trucks. Trucks are a critical and essential part of the American economy, and accidents with them are on the rarer side.
However, this doesn’t mean that they’re not impossible. If you’ve suffered through a cargo truck accident, you can face unimaginable damages that can change the way you live forever. Instead of dealing with them on your own, please contact the cargo truck accident lawyers at John Foy & Associates today. You can reach our law office at (404) 400-4000.

Fighting Back Against the Insurance Companies
Insurance companies are large businesses that don’t have your best interests at heart. Ultimately, their main goal is to save as much money on their end by offering you the worst settlement possible. They have various methods they use to pressure you into accepting their low offers.
More often than not, retaining a lawyer has proven to help truck accident victims significantly increase their chances of winning the maximum amount of compensation they deserve. Our lawyers know exactly how insurance companies operate and can fight back against them if they try to get you to settle for less.

Get Compensation for Your Damages
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) states that trucks often weigh 20 to 30 times heavier than the average passenger vehicle. The size and weight of trucks can lead to severe injuries and damages occurring for the occupants inside. You can sustain serious damages such as:
- Wrongful death
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
- Permanent disability and disfigurement
- Vehicle repair and property damages
- High medical expenses
- Lost wages or reduced earning capability
All of these damages can drastically alter your life negatively. While money can’t fix everything, retaining compensation for your accident can greatly improve the conditions you face and help you get justice against the negligent driver responsible for your accident.
File Your Claim Before the Statute of Limitations
Cargo truck accidents have a two-year statute of limitations in Georgia. This means that you only get two years from the date of your accident to build your case and file a claim. Don’t waste any of the precious time that you have.
Lots of people overestimate how much time they have and let their opportunity to file a claim blow right past them. Once you pass the statute of limitations, you won’t be able to recover any compensation. This is why we recommend talking to one of our lawyers as soon as you can.
