The Dangers of Albany, GA Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can often cause serious injuries to motorists, pedestrians or motorcycle riders because trucks are so large. The maximum weight limit for trucks can reach as high as 80,000 pounds, and a truck this large has a great deal of force and momentum. Thus, the impact of a crash can be devastating.
Those hurt in a crash are protected under Georgia laws, which mandate that a driver responsible for a truck accident must compensate accident victims. Truck drivers who cause a crash through their negligence or through violating safety rules and guidelines can be responsible for paying medical costs, lost wages, damages for pain and suffering or emotional distress, and compensation for wrongful death. Trucking companies, who are considered to be legally responsible for the actions of their employees, can also be required to pay these damages to accident victims.

They were referred to me by a close friend of mine. Extremely professional, and asked the language I feel comfortable to discuss my case in. Alex Rusanov was my case manager and explained every aspect of my case during the process. I would highly recommend to use this law firm if you were injured in a car accident.

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.
