Georgia Truck Accident Lawsuit
The Atlanta law firm of Henry Spiegel Milling LLP guides clients through the complex Georgia truck accident litigation process, but it can be helpful to understand some of the steps involved.
A truck accident lawsuit is often the recommended approach when seeking to recover for serious injuries sustained in a trucking accident. Litigation before a jury can be lengthy and stressful, but successful cases can result in generous awards to cover expenses related to your injury—even if those costs extend for a lifetime.
Setting the Groundwork with an Initial Legal Consultation
The initial consultation provides our attorneys with the opportunity to assess your case. During this meeting, we review all the supporting documentation you provide, and begin to determine which option is most appropriate based on your specific circumstances.
When pursuing a Georgia trucking accident lawsuit, we make sure you know what to expect, how we plan to investigate your claim, and what the potential value of your lawsuit may be based on Georgia law and your economic and non-economic losses.
Filing and Preparing for Georgia Truck Accident Lawsuits
Throughout the litigation process, our attorneys promptly advise you of any Georgia truck accident settlement offers and help you decide whether to consider them. We have achieved successful results for our clients through both settlements and lawsuits.
If we bring a truck accident lawsuit on your behalf, the next step is discovery. During this period, attorneys on both sides launch thorough investigations of the accident. At Henry Spiegel Milling LLP, we gather a team of experts such as investigators, accident reconstructionists, and photographers as appropriate to develop an effective case. The attorneys exchange documents and other evidence, and they take depositions of those involved in the accident.
Going to Trial
If your case goes to trial, our attorneys spend time preparing you and witnesses, conducting practice sessions to ensure everyone is ready for the courtroom process.
The trial involves everything from selecting a jury through jury deliberation of your truck accident lawsuit after presentation of both sides of the case. Even after the trial begins, it is common for attorneys on either side to initiate a settlement offer which, if accepted, immediately ends the trial process.
Receiving the Verdict
After the attorneys have presented their cases, the jury deliberates to decide your case. When the jurors decide liability in your favor, they are also entrusted with determining monetary awards, which are often more generous than the compensation received from a negotiated settlement. But it is important to understand that awards may be appealed by the defense, extending the litigation process even further.
