Georgia Drug-Related Truck Accident Attorney

Georgia drug-related truck accident attorneys Goldstein & Hayes, P.C., serve Atlanta area accident victims who have suffered catastrophic injury. He and his expert team of investigators and litigators have the legal background to discover the evidence needed to argue your personal injury DUI case, presenting solid evidence in language that a jury can understand rather than a string of “lawyer-ese”.

Our services include establishing evidence, including reconstruction of the scene of the accident to establish that the other driver was the responsible negligent driver, and negotiation or litigation for an appropriate settlement or award. Others, besides the driver, may also be culpable under commercial trucking liability laws, if it is found that the trucking company failed to properly screen newly hired employees.

While the punishment for drug-related truck accidents in Atlanta can seem harsh, Goldstein & Hayes, P.C. maintains that so are the extent of the injuries caused by the impaired driver, who may hurt not only him or her self, but passengers and innocent bystanders as well, causing injury that can range from a catastrophic brain or spinal cord injury to fatal injury that results in a wrongful death.

Receiving a settlement of civil damages from a drug-impaired driver’s insurance policy is usually a matter of proving responsibility for personal injury and/or property damage. However, Georgia insurance companies oftentimes exclude punitive damages. You need an aggressive personal injury trial lawyer that is used to taking on large insurance companies. We do not allow their intimidation to prevail over your rights. We will also consider the assets of the drugged driver and his or her employer as well as pursue others who may have helped to set the accident in motion either by turning a blind eye or by the gross negligence of a party host.
