Accidents involving 18-wheelers, semis, and other large trucks are among the most devastating on the road. The size and weight of commercial trucks mean collisions frequently cause catastrophic injuries — and the legal claims that follow are far more complex than standard car accident cases. Jeremy Pineres Law represents truck accident victims throughout Fulton and DeKalb counties and has the experience to pursue full compensation from all liable parties.
All cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. No upfront cost, and no fee unless compensation is recovered.
Why Truck Accident Claims Are Complex
Multiple parties may share liability in a truck accident — including the driver, the trucking company, the vehicle owner, the cargo loader, and maintenance contractors. Federal regulations from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration govern commercial truck operations, and violations of these rules — including hours-of-service limits, weight restrictions, and maintenance requirements — can be powerful evidence in a claim. Trucking companies and their insurers are experienced at defending these cases, making experienced legal representation essential.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Driver fatigue from hours-of-service violations is one of the leading causes of serious truck accidents. Distracted driving, speeding, improper loading that shifts cargo during transit, mechanical failures from deferred maintenance, and blind spot errors are also common contributing factors. Jeremy Pineres Law investigates all potential causes and liable parties when building a truck accident claim.
Injuries and Compensation
Truck accident victims frequently suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, internal injuries, and in many cases permanent disability. Commercial truck insurance policies typically carry significantly higher limits than standard auto policies, meaning full compensation may be available for serious injuries. Jeremy Pineres Law evaluates all available coverage sources before pursuing a settlement or litigation.
Truck Traffic in Atlanta
The convergence of I-75, I-85, and I-285 in Atlanta makes it one of the country’s most active truck corridors, with heavy freight traffic passing through the metro around the clock. Accidents involving 18-wheelers, flatbeds, and tanker trucks on Atlanta’s interstates frequently result in catastrophic injuries. Jeremy Pineres Law represents truck accident victims throughout Fulton and DeKalb counties.
