Compensating Victims Of Truck Accidents

Tractor-trailers are massive vehicles that can cause devastating injuries or death in the hands of a careless operator. In the aftermath of a serious accident, however, trucking companies rarely admit that they did anything wrong. Instead, they will try to shift blame to the other driver.

At the law firm of Salata Law, LLP, our lawyers are here to hold negligent drivers and their insurance companies financially accountable for the harm they cause. The civil justice system can provide a strong motivation to truckers to put safety first. Call 770-408-7004 for a free initial consultation.

Holding Truck Drivers And Their Employers Accountable

The trucking industry is subject to strict state and federal regulations to keep our roads as safe as possible. Prompt investigation of a serious accident may uncover evidence that a driver or a trucking company violated one or more of these safety regulations.

Here are a few examples of safety violations that can lead to truck accidents:

• Driving too long without taking a rest break
• Driving an overweight truck
• Failing to properly secure a load
• Unsafe passing
• Improper maintenance
• Hiring an qualified driver
• Drug use

If a trucking company or driver violated safety violations, our lawyers will uncover it to build the strongest possible case of negligence against the trucking company.

Were You Injured On Someone Else’s Property?

Owners of stores, hotels, apartment complexes and even private homes are responsible for correcting unsafe conditions on their property so guests are not injured. If you are injured due to dangerous conditions that the property owner knew about or should have known about, you have the right to seek compensation for medical bills and other losses.

Why You Need A Lawyer’s Help

Just because you were injured on someone else’s property does not mean the property owner’s insurance company will pay. Insurance companies often refuse to pay personal injury claims regardless of merit. To recover compensation, you will need to prove that the property owner was negligent. That can be hard to do without a lawyer’s help.

As your lawyers, we can build a strong case of negligence against the property owner and prepare the case for trial. Insurance companies often are not willing to pay a reasonable settlement unless they know that you are represented by an attorney who is prepared to try the case.

This area of law is known as premises liability. We represent people in all types of premises liability cases, including:

• Assaults and rapes in hotels or apartment complexes caused by negligent security
• Slip-and-fall injuries caused by spilled substances or other unsafe conditions
• Falls on uneven or cracked sidewalks
• Falls on unsafe stairs

• Fires and explosions caused by faulty appliances or repairs
