Experienced Representation for Truck Accidents Claims
A crash with a fully loaded commercial truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, and the injuries that result are often catastrophic and life changing. At Howe.Law Injury and Accident Lawyers, we represent truck accident victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi against the trucking companies and insurers who fight hard to avoid responsibility. These cases are far more complex than a typical car accident, and they demand a legal team with the resources and experience to take them on.
Trucking companies often dispatch investigators to the scene within hours to build a defense. You need advocates who can move just as quickly to preserve evidence and protect your right to full compensation.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Many truck crashes stem from violations of federal safety regulations or pressure to meet delivery deadlines. Frequent causes include:
- Driver fatigue and hours of service violations
- Speeding and driving too fast for conditions
- Improperly loaded or overweight cargo
- Inadequate truck maintenance and brake failure
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Insufficient driver training and unsafe hiring practices
Common Truck Accident Injuries
Because of the sheer size and weight difference, occupants of passenger vehicles bear the worst of a truck collision. We represent clients with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and paralysis, multiple fractures, internal injuries, amputations, severe burns, and the families of those who did not survive. These injuries frequently require surgery, long-term rehabilitation, and lifelong care.
How We Build Your Truck Accident Case
We act immediately to secure the truck's black box data, the driver's logs, maintenance records, and dispatch records before they can be lost or altered. We identify every liable party, which may include the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, and the maintenance provider. Working with accident reconstruction experts and medical specialists, we prove exactly how the crash happened and the full extent of your losses, then pursue every source of insurance coverage available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can be held liable in a truck accident?
Truck accident cases often involve more than just the driver. Depending on the facts, liable parties can include the trucking company that employed the driver, the owner of the truck or trailer, the company responsible for loading the cargo, the manufacturer of a defective part, and the business that performed maintenance. Identifying every responsible party matters because it increases the insurance coverage available to compensate you. Our attorneys investigate the entire chain of responsibility so no source of recovery is overlooked.
Why are truck accident cases more complex than car accidents?
Commercial trucking is governed by federal safety regulations, and violations of those rules often play a central role in a crash. These cases involve specialized evidence such as electronic logging devices, driver duty logs, and maintenance records, and they frequently include multiple defendants and large insurance policies. Trucking companies have legal teams working to limit their liability from the moment a crash occurs. Handling these claims requires experience, resources, and a willingness to litigate, which is exactly what Howe.Law brings to every truck accident case.
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim?
The filing deadline depends on the state where the crash occurred. Georgia generally allows two years, Tennessee can be as short as one year, and Mississippi generally allows three years. Because truck accident cases require preserving evidence like the truck's data recorder and the driver's logs quickly, it is important not to wait. Contacting an attorney soon after the crash protects both your legal deadline and the critical evidence needed to prove your case.
What should I do after a truck accident?
Seek medical care right away, since serious injuries are common and some are not immediately apparent. If you can, document the scene with photos of the truck, any company markings, the license plates, and the surrounding area. Get contact information from witnesses and the driver, but do not discuss fault or give a recorded statement to the trucking company's insurer. Preserve any evidence you have, and contact an experienced truck accident attorney quickly so critical records can be secured before they disappear.
How much does it cost to hire a truck accident lawyer?
Howe.Law handles truck accident cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and you owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. This is especially important in truck cases, which require significant investigation and expert resources that most people could not afford to pay for out of pocket. We advance those costs and only get paid when you do. Your consultation is completely free and comes with no obligation.

We represent injury victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi in a wide range of accident and injury cases.

Reviews from our Accident and Injury Clients
I googled Collection Attorney and found Howe and Associates. Their receptionist picked up, I introduced myself and explained to her my situation and in no time she got Mr. Richard Howe on the phone with me. I explained my situation and he was very attentive, helpful, nice to me and after carefully listening to me he gave me some encouraging advice and how to go about the right help. He also gave me an open invitation to call him anytime if I ever have any questions. I was very happy God lead me to his firm.
I really just appreciate the professionalism and knowledge given from speaking with your firm during consultation. It definitely makes it feel comfortable if the need to move forward with the service of your firm
Richard was extremely helpful, and even though my case wasn't the best fit for his firm, he took extra time to give me direction and clarity to help me with the next steps... Far beyond what he needed to. I'm extremely grateful I contacted his firm.
I had a question about a collection we are going through and Richard himself answered the call and provided a lot of insight to what our next steps would be at no charge. I highly recommend this firm. They are here to help.
I was in a vulnerable state after my accident and appreciated Nathalie for listening, being compassionate and offering guidance. I am truly grateful I called. Thank you so much!
I was really stressed about everything and didn't know where to start but the team took the time to walk me through each step and made sure I understood what was happening. They explained the whole process in a way that actually made sense and I never felt confused or left in the dark, they were super helpful and responsive whenever I had questions. I'm so grateful for how well they treated me and how easy they made everything feel
