Tractor Trailer Accidents

Georgia, Atlanta Tractor-Trailer Accident Lawyer

Commercial trucks can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds, creating an enormous liability for truck drivers and anyone on the road.

If you were injured by a semi truck or lost a loved one in a tractor-trailer accident, you probably feel overcome by your loss and don't know where to turn.

At The Burkey Law Firm, we can't change what happened, but we will work vigorously to help you obtain financial compensation for your pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills and rehabilitation costs.

18 years if experience representing personal injury clients

For more than 18 years, personal injury attorney Frederick Burkey has aggressively represented hundreds of accident victims affected by someone else's negligence.

Our practice is focused exclusively on personal injury cases and we have a deep understanding of how the traffic laws and regulations are applied in Georgia. We have a great deal of experience examining the interaction of the speed limits, time logs and inspections drivers are subject to, and how the presentation of this material in cases involving semi truck and car wrecks.

Investigates tractor-trailer accident evidence

Personal injury attorney Burkey conducts his own investigation of tractor-trailer accidents. He interviews fire rescue personnel, police officers and accident witnesses to understand if the truck driver, truck owner or manufacture was at fault.

Sometimes, accidents occur from semi-truck driver fatigue, equipment failures or bad road conditions. Mr. Burkey thoroughly reviews the evidence to determine if more than one party was at fault in an effort to maximize the compensation for his clients.

Meticulous case preparation

At The Burkey Law Firm, we will settle your case only if it is in your best interest. When insurance companies are unwilling to provide our clients with the maximum amount of compensation, we do not hesitate to go to court.

Our trial attorney is prepared to take every case to court. He works with medical and orthopedic experts to access the injuries caused by the semi-truck accident. Mr. Burkey also evaluates similar claims to determine the financial compensation that other victims have received.
