Commercial Trucking Wrecks
Navigating Truck Wrecks with Brooks Law Partners
Collisions involving semi-trucks are among the most devastating incidents on Georgia roads. Due to their immense size and weight, 18-wheelers pose a serious threat to passenger vehicles—especially on high-traffic interstates like I-75, I-85, I-16, and I-20.
At Brooks Law Partners, we understand the urgency and complexity of these cases. Trucking companies and their insurers deploy legal teams immediately after a wreck occurs. You need experienced counsel to level the playing field.
Our team acts swiftly to preserve evidence, analyze driver logs, inspect black box data, and identify violations of both state and federal regulations. These cases often involve multiple parties—from drivers and fleet owners to cargo companies and insurers—making early legal intervention critical.
Founding attorney Natanya Brooks brings a rare, firsthand understanding of the trucking industry, having attended trucking school multiple times. This insight allows her to spot regulatory failures and unsafe practices that other attorneys might overlook—giving our clients a distinct strategic advantage.
