Trucking Accidents
When a Trucking Accident Causes Serious Injuries …
Trucks are huge and heavy. They often travel at high speeds on the highway. When a semi or tractor-trailer is involved in a roadway accident, the accident can cause serious and often fatal injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured in a trucking accident, talk to a personal injury lawyer at The Blaska Law Firm in Atlanta, Georgia.

Serious injuries and wrongful death are complicated issues in any accident. An 18-wheeler accident is further complicated by federal and state regulations and big rig ownership issues. The tractor, trailer and cargo may be owned by different entities.
We have experience investigating and litigating trucking accidents
Our law firm has a considerable amount of experience investigating these types of accidents, and we are well-versed in both the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations that govern commercial vehicle transportation.
A woman was driving into Atlanta when her car was hit by a truck that was passing in a no-passing zone. The truck had defective brakes and a steering problem — it should never have been on the road. Our law firm negotiated a $1.5 million settlement, $1 million paid by the insurance company; the remainder by the trucking company out of their pocket.
Our record of successful judgments and settlements is evidence of our ability to settle and litigate trucking accident cases. Personal injury attorney Tom Blaska has achieved large settlements for drivers and passengers who were killed or injured in accidents involving speeding, unsafe truck operations, impaired truck driver, maintenance errors and other negligence. We have handled trucking and commercial vehicle accidents involving:
- Tractor-trailers, semi trucks, 18-wheelers, big rigs
- Tanker trucks, hazardous waste trucks, chemical trucks
- Construction vehicles, dump trucks, cement trucks
- Commercial delivery vehicles
- Government vehicles, school buses, postal trucks
- Corporate automobiles
A trucking accident can cause serious damage including multiple fractures, head injury, spinal cord injury and burn injuries. There can often be multiple insurance claims involved in a trucking accident — and they may all be needed to pay medical bills, lost wages, disability, and pain and suffering.
We put our clients first at The Blaska Law Firm. We take relatively few cases so that we can give each case the care, personal attention and compensation our clients deserve.
