Trucking & Commercial Vehicle Accidents
IN GEORGIA
Former Industry Insight. Proven Results. We Know How Trucking Companies Defend Claims.
The Reality of Commercial Truck Accidents
The size disparity between a commercial truck and a passenger vehicle means that occupants of the smaller vehicle rarely walk away unscathed. A fully loaded semi-truck can legally weigh up to 80,000 pounds. The average passenger car weighs around 4,000 pounds. When those two collide the consequences are severe and the legal battle that follows is complex.
When an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer collides with a passenger vehicle the results are often catastrophic. But the devastation doesn’t end at the crash site. Immediately after the accident trucking companies and their insurers deploy rapid response teams with one goal — limiting their financial liability.
At Serreen Law Group we don’t just fight these companies. We used to defend them. Founder Serreen Meki has represented insurance carriers and corporations in commercial vehicle litigation. She knows exactly how adjusters devalue claims, how companies hide evidence, and how they shift blame onto injured victims. Now she uses that knowledge to protect you.

Who We Sue and Why It Matters.
In a standard car accident you sue the other driver. In a truck accident the web of liability is significantly larger. Because we understand the corporate structure of trucking companies and their insurers we identify every responsible party to maximize your recovery.
The Driver for negligence behind the wheel.
The Trucking Company for negligent hiring, inadequate training, or pressuring drivers to violate safety regulations.
The Maintenance Provider for failing to address known mechanical issues.
The Cargo Loader for improperly securing or balancing the trailer.
Why Truck Accidents Happen and How We Prove It.
Unlike standard car accidents truck accidents involve complex layers of negligence across multiple parties. Our team digs deep into the evidence — including the truck’s black box data recorder — to prove exactly what went wrong.
Blind Spot Negligence:
Trucks have massive blind spots on all four sides. Professional drivers are trained to clear these zones before merging. When they fail to do so that is negligence.
Cargo and Loading Violations:
Cargo and Loading Violations: If cargo is improperly secured it can shift during transit causing the trailer to sway, jackknife, or roll over. We investigate the loading manifest to determine whether third-party shipping companies cut corners on safety.
Driver Fatigue and Hours of Service Violations:
Truckers face immense pressure to meet deadlines. We subpoena the driver’s Electronic Logging Device to determine whether they violated federal Hours of Service regulations and drove beyond the legal limit.
Speeding and Reckless Driving:
Speeding and Reckless Driving: A commercial truck cannot stop quickly. We analyze skid marks and data recorder information to prove the driver was traveling too fast for conditions.
Maintenance Negligence:
Trucking companies are required to inspect brakes, tires, steering, and lights before every trip. When they skip those inspections to keep trucks moving and someone gets hurt we hold the company accountable.
What If I Was Partially at Fault?
Under Georgia’s Comparative Negligence Law you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50 percent at fault. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. We work to minimize any fault attributed to you and maximize what you recover.
Lifetime Medical Needs Construction
By all means, surgeries, 24/7 nursing care, home modifications, and specialized medical equipment — with inflation built in so you don’t run out of funds years down the road.
Pain, Suffering & Loss of Enjoyment
Georgia law permits non-economic damages. These damages include injuries from emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and ongoing mental anguish, sleep, and overall well-being long after physical wounds have begun to heal.
Whether it is spending time with family, enjoying hobbies, or pursuing personal interests, the inability to fully enjoy life can have a profound effect on a victim’s quality of life.The at-fault party pays for every dollar of that damage.
“We tell the human story of what was taken from you.”
Loss of Earning Capacity
All things considered, it isn’t just about lost wages today. If you can no longer work in your chosen profession or concurrently at all, we calculate the loss of your entire career trajectory, including promotions, benefits, and retirement contributions you would have earned.
“We take the burden of the future off your shoulders so you can focus on healing.”
