Atlanta Truck Accident Lawyer Taking on Trucking Companies Across Metro Atlanta
Truck accidents are different from ordinary car crashes. Because of their size and weight, 18-wheelers and commercial vehicles often cause catastrophic injuries on I-75, I-85, I-20, I-285, and major Atlanta highways.
When a trucking company’s negligence leads to serious harm, Georgia law allows you to pursue compensation from every responsible party.
As an experienced Atlanta truck accident lawyer, Attorney Erwin Mark Stephens represents victims injured in commercial vehicle crashes throughout Atlanta, Decatur, Marietta, Alpharetta, and surrounding Metro Atlanta communities.

Types of Truck Accidents We Handle in Atlanta
From the I-75/I-85 downtown connector to I-20 East and the Perimeter, we understand how Atlanta trucking routes contribute to serious crashes.
18-Wheeler / Semi-Truck Collisions
Crashes involving large commercial trucks often cause catastrophic injuries. We investigate driver conduct, trucking company policies, and federal safety compliance.
Jackknife Accidents
When a truck’s trailer swings outward and blocks lanes of traffic, serious multi-vehicle collisions can occur. We examine braking systems, road conditions, and driver response.
Underride Collisions
Underride accidents happen when a smaller vehicle slides beneath a truck trailer. These crashes frequently result in severe or fatal injuries and require immediate investigation.
Rollover Truck Accidents
Truck rollovers may result from improper cargo loading, excessive speed, or driver fatigue. We review maintenance records and load distribution practices.
Delivery Truck Accidents
Commercial delivery vehicles operating in residential and retail areas can cause serious harm. We identify corporate liability and applicable insurance coverage.
Commercial Fleet Vehicle Collisions
Company-owned fleet vehicles must meet strict safety standards. When negligence occurs, we pursue claims against both the driver and employer.
Why Your Atlanta Truck Accident Case Needs a Legal Advocate
Trucking companies and their insurers move quickly to control the narrative after a crash. You need an attorney who understands commercial vehicle litigation.
Multiple Liable Parties
Liability may include the truck driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, maintenance contractors, or equipment manufacturers.
Federal Regulation Violations
Commercial drivers must comply with strict federal hours-of-service and safety regulations. Violations can strengthen your claim.
High-Value Injury Claims
Truck crashes often cause spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, and permanent disabilities requiring long-term care.
Litigation Readiness
We prepare every truck accident case for courtroom litigation if settlement negotiations fail.
You are not outmatched. We stand up to trucking companies and corporate insurers.
