Trucking Accidents Lawyer In Cobb County
Commercial truck collisions stand apart from typical car wrecks. When an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer strikes a passenger vehicle, the results are often catastrophic. I’m Scott Cohen, and I represent victims of serious truck accidents throughout Marietta, Powder Springs, Kennesaw, Mableton, Smyrna, Vinings, Acworth, Fair Oaks, Metro Atlanta and Cobb County.
I have over 18 years of personal injury litigation experience. This means I understand the unique challenges these cases present and how they impact victims and families.
Why Truck Collisions Cause Devastating Harm
The size and weight of commercial trucks mean even low-speed impacts can cause lifelong scars. These crashes frequently result in life-changing injuries, including:
- Spinal cord injuries: Damage that can lead to paralysis requiring lifetime care
- Traumatic brain injuries: Head trauma causing cognitive problems and permanent disability
- Crushing injuries: Severe damage to limbs, internal organs and bones
- Burn injuries: Fires from fuel tanks causing disfigurement and scarring
Many victims face lengthy hospital stays, multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation. Some never fully recover or return to their previous quality of life.
Who Bears Responsibility In Truck Accidents?
Unlike wrecks involving passenger vehicles, commercial truck collisions often involve multiple liable parties. These include the:
- Truck driver: Distracted driving, driving under the influence or hours-of-service violations
- Trucking company: Hiring inexperienced drivers, inadequate training or failing to maintain vehicles properly
- Vehicle manufacturer: Defective truck parts or faulty braking systems
- Maintenance providers: Improper repairs or failure to identify safety issues
- Cargo companies: Improper loading or securing of freight
Identifying all responsible parties requires a thorough investigation. This complexity is why victims need a trucking accidents lawyer who knows how to build strong cases.
