Frequently Asked Questions

Who can be held liable in a Georgia truck accident?
Multiple parties may be liable — the truck driver, the motor carrier (trucking company), the freight broker, a vehicle maintenance company, or a cargo loader. Georgia Auto Law investigates all potential defendants to maximize your recovery.
What federal regulations apply to truck drivers in Georgia?
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) imposes hours-of-service rules, electronic logging device (ELD) requirements, drug and alcohol testing, and minimum insurance requirements. Violations of these rules can establish negligence per se.
How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in Georgia?
Two years from the accident date under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. However, key evidence like electronic logging device data can be overwritten quickly — contact an attorney immediately.
