Your Rights After an Augusta, Georgia Truck Accident
When an Augusta, Georgia Truck Accident occurs, you have certain legal rights. Accident victims or surviving family members of those killed in Augusta Trucking Accidents can take legal action against the responsible parties, which usually includes the truck driver and, in most cases, the trucking company the driver was working for as well.
To make a truck accident claim and obtain compensation, you will need to prove that the truck driver was negligent or careless in some way. You can do this by showing that a reasonable truck driver would have been more careful. You can also do this by showing that the driver broke any of the rules of the road, including regulations set for truck drivers by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

An Augusta, Georgia Truck Accident Lawyer Can Help
Truck Accident cases are generally much different than your average car accident case due to the many federal and state regulations that govern trucking operations on our roads and highways. Tractor-Trailer cases can become even more complicated due to multiple potential defendants responsible for compensating you for your losses, including both the trucker and the trucking company. The serious nature of truck accidents and the fact that injuries are often permanent or even deadly can also make truck accident cases even more complicated.
After a truck accident happens, you deserve to get the full amount of compensation that Georgia law provides to accident victims or surviving family members. This can include payment of all past and future medical bills; compensation for lost wages or missed work; and monetary compensation for pain and suffering or emotional distress. Those who have lost family members in truck accidents can also receive monetary payment for wrongful death damages including loss of companionship.

My attorney, David Van Sant and his law firm were outstanding in handling my personal injury case. I was out of work for a considerable amount of time due to an automobile accident and Mr. Van Sant and his entire team were always kind, professional, knowledgeable and especially available. This law firm did their absolute best to answer and return calls and at no time did I ever feel like just a number or stranger. My experience with Mr. Van Sant and his law firm (from beginning to end), were very positive as well as favorable.
