Why Trucking Accidents Are So Complex

Crashes involving large commercial trucks are unlike ordinary car wrecks. These cases often involve multiple parties, federal trucking regulations, and serious injuries that require long-term medical care.



We dig deep into every commercial vehicle crash to uncover critical evidence, such as:

  • Truck driver logs and Hours of Service (HOS) violations
  • Black box (ECM) data
  • Vehicle maintenance records
  • Driver qualifications and training
  • Load and cargo documentation


Whether you were injured in a delivery truck accident or a long-haul truck collision, we’ll make sure every liable party is held accountable — from the truck driver to the trucking company and beyond..

Common Injuries from Truck Crashes

Because of their size and weight, box trucks, big rigs, and 18-wheelers often cause severe injuries in collisions, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones and internal bleeding
  • Burns or crush injuries
  • Fatalities and wrongful death cases

Who May Be Liable in an 18-wheeler Crash?

Truck accident cases often involve multiple potentially liable parties:


  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company
  • The vehicle manufacturer or parts supplier
  • Third-party maintenance contractors
  • Cargo loaders or shippers


We thoroughly investigate every angle of your case to identify all responsible parties and maximize your recovery.

What Compensation Can You Recover After a Truck Accident Injury?

Truck wrecks involving 18-wheelers and commercial vehicles often cause catastrophic injuries — and the financial burden that follows can be overwhelming. At Walt Moffitt Law, we help victims across Northwest Georgia pursue full and fair compensation after a serious truck or semi-truck accident.


If you’ve been injured, you may be entitled to recover damages in the following categories:



Medical Expenses (Past & Future)

We fight to recover all costs associated with your treatment, including:

  • Emergency room and hospital bills
  • Surgery and specialist visits
  • Prescription medications
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Long-term or in-home care
  • Future medical needs


Lost Wages and Loss of Earning Capacity

A truck accident can keep you out of work for weeks, months — or permanently. You may be entitled to:

  • Lost income from missed work
  • Loss of future earning potential if you're unable to return to your job
  • Loss of benefits or career advancement opportunities


Pain and Suffering

This includes compensation for:

  • Physical pain
  • Emotional distress and mental anguish
  • PTSD or trauma from the crash
  • Loss of enjoyment of life


Property Damage

If your vehicle or personal property was damaged or totaled in the accident, you can recover the cost of repair or replacement.


Wrongful Death Damages

If a loved one was killed in a fatal truck crash, eligible family members may pursue:

  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Loss of companionship and support
  • Loss of financial contributions


Punitive Damages (in Certain Cases)

In extreme cases involving gross negligence — like intoxicated driving or blatant safety violations — courts may award punitive damages to punish the responsible party and deter similar conduct.


Every trucking accident case is unique, and the value of your claim depends on many factors — including the severity of your injuries, the extent of your losses, and the parties involved. That’s why it’s so important to speak with a skilled trucking accident attorney as soon as possible.
