Marietta Truck Accident Attorneys
Let Our Firm Help You Hold Trucking Companies Liable for Your Injuries
Marietta, Georgia, is the county seat of Cobb County and is considered to be a suburb of metro Atlanta. The family-friendly climate and the easy commute to Atlanta have made the city a popular place to live, and the recent Census indicated that there is a population of around 57,000 people in the city limits and many more in the surrounding area.
While Marietta enjoys a relatively low crime rate and is a safe place to live, there is one risk that residents face in the city: the danger of truck accidents. Truck accidents happen every day throughout the U.S., and since many trucks travel through Marietta, local residents face the possibility of a truck crash.
If you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident, you may be coping with devastating injuries or even the devastating loss of a loved one. The laws in Georgia mandate that truck drivers and trucking companies responsible for a crash compensate you and your loved ones for both physical and emotional damage the crash causes. The Marietta truck accident lawyers at Van Sant Law, can help you get the compensation you deserve. We have collected millions in compensation for clients handling cases throughout the State of Georgia.

Common Types of Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks are significantly larger and heavier than passenger vehicles. When things go wrong, the results can be catastrophic. Some of the most common types of truck accidents in Marietta include:
- Jackknife Accidents: These occur when a truck’s trailer swings out at an angle from the cab, often causing multi-vehicle pileups.
- Rollovers: Trucks have a high center of gravity, making them prone to tipping over, especially during sharp turns or sudden maneuvers.
- Rear-End Collisions: Due to their size and stopping distance, trucks can easily rear-end vehicles if the driver isn’t paying attention or driving too fast for conditions.
- Underride Accidents: These horrific crashes happen when a smaller vehicle slides underneath the trailer of a truck.
- Blind Spot Accidents: Large blind spots on trucks can make it difficult for drivers to see cars traveling beside them.
- Lost Load Accidents: Improperly secured cargo can spill onto the road, endangering everyone around.

How a Marietta Truck Accident Lawyer Can Help
Truck accident damages can be obtained in one of two ways: through an out-of-court settlement or through a jury trial where you prove your personal injury or wrongful death claim. In either situation, it is important to have an experienced legal team representing you and protecting your rights.
At Van Sant Law, our truck accident attorneys in Marietta can help you from the beginning of your claim to the end. We will assist you in determining whom to take action against, including the truck driver and the trucking company. We will also help you gather evidence, hire the most qualified experts to negotiate with the insurer, or present a winning case in court.
Our team will come to you for a face to face meeting to discuss your case and advise you of your rights. We also work on a contingency basis, which means you owe us nothing unless we recover monetary damages on behalf of you and your family.
To learn more about how our firm can assist you in getting the compensation you deserve, give us a call toll free at (800) 234-9556 or contact us online today.

-
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Georgia?In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. It's crucial to act quickly to preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
-
What damages can I recover after a truck accident?
You may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death (in fatal accidents)
-
How is fault determined in a truck accident case?
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found to be less than 50% at fault, you may still recover damages—though your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
-
Should I speak to the trucking company’s insurance adjuster?No. Insurance adjusters work to protect their company’s bottom line, not your interests. Always speak to our Marietta truck accident lawyer before giving any recorded statements or signing documents.
-
How much does it cost to hire Van Sant Law?We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case.
