80,000 Pounds of Evidence the Trucking Company Is Already Destroying.
The moment that truck hit you, a team of corporate adjusters, defense lawyers, and rapid-response investigators deployed — not to help you, but to protect the trucking company's profits. You're running out of time. We know how to stop them.
Tell us what happened.
No fees unless we win. We respond within 1 hour.
You're fighting a corporation, not a driver.
You were hit by a commercial truck — an 18-wheeler, tractor-trailer, delivery truck, or tanker — on I-75, I-85, I-285, or another Georgia highway. The destruction is catastrophic. The trucking company is already managing the situation. Not for you. For them.
You feel helpless against a corporation with unlimited legal resources. Who do you even sue? Driver? Carrier? Cargo loader? Maintenance contractor? You're terrified your injuries will keep you from working or living normally again.
When a trucking company puts profits over safety — overworking drivers, skipping inspections, overloading cargo — and someone gets hurt or killed, it should face the full consequences. Not hide behind corporate lawyers. Not destroy evidence.
Trucking companies that destroy evidence and dodge accountability.
Within hours of a serious crash, the carrier's playbook activates. Every day you wait, evidence disappears. This isn't a car accident. It's a war against a billion-dollar industry that has this process down to a science.
Rapid Response Teams
Within hours, the trucking company's investigators are at the crash scene — photographing, documenting, controlling the narrative, often before you're out of the ER.
Disappearing ELD & Black Box Data
Electronic logging device data showing hours-of-service violations can overwrite in as little as 7 days. Event data recorder logs get 'lost' if no one demands preservation.
Scrubbed Driver Files
Drug test results, training records, medical certifications, and driver qualification files get cleaned up before plaintiff's counsel ever sees them.
Sanitized Maintenance Logs
Skipped inspections, bald tires, faulty brakes — entries vanish. GPS and dispatch records proving the company pushed an exhausted driver disappear with them.
Gunn Law Group — we've seen what an 80,000-pound truck does to a family.
We've sat with spouses who don't know if their partner will walk again. We've talked to parents whose child's car was crushed by a driver who'd been awake for 16 hours. This is the most devastating type of case we handle — and it's why we take it the most seriously.
- Millions recovered in Georgia trucking crash cases.
- Deep command of FMCSA regulations (49 CFR Parts 350–399).
- Day-1 spoliation letters preserving electronic evidence.
- Accident reconstruction, trucking-industry, and medical experts on every case.
- We go after every responsible party — driver, carrier, broker, maintenance, cargo.
Three steps to outmaneuver a billion-dollar trucking company.
Emergency Preservation — Day 1
Call 888-BIG-GUNN. We issue spoliation letters on Day 1, legally demanding the trucking company preserve ELD data, driver logs, maintenance records, and surveillance footage.
Full FMCSA Investigation
Hours-of-service, drug & alcohol testing, maintenance and inspection records, driver qualification files, cargo securement, GPS, ELD, and black box data — all on the table.
Stack Every Policy
Driver, trucking company ($1M–$5M+ commercial), broker, maintenance vendor, cargo loader. We pursue every responsible party and every insurance source.
The statutes and regulations that put the carrier on the hook.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (49 CFR Parts 350–399)
Trucking companies must comply with FMCSA rules on hours-of-service, drug testing, vehicle maintenance, and driver qualification. Violations are powerful evidence of negligence.
Respondeat Superior — O.C.G.A. § 51-2-2
The trucking company is typically liable for the driver's negligence committed within the scope of employment — opening the company's commercial policy.
Punitive Damages — O.C.G.A. § 51-12-5.1
When a trucking company shows willful misconduct or conscious indifference — knowingly putting an impaired or exhausted driver on the road — punitive damages may be available.
2-Year Statute of Limitations — O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33
Georgia generally gives you 2 years from the crash to file a personal injury claim. ELD and black box data, though, disappear in days — practical deadlines run far ahead of legal ones.
What happens if you wait.
- ELD data can overwrite in as little as 7 days — lose it and you lose the hours-of-service case.
- The trucking company's defense lawyers are building their case while you're still in the hospital.
- Georgia's 2-year statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) starts running the day of the crash.
- Catastrophic medical bills can exceed $500,000 — without legal recovery, that bill is yours.
- If no one holds them accountable, the driver keeps driving and the company keeps cutting corners.
What we fight for.
- Catastrophic medical bills covered — surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity fully compensated.
- Pain and suffering — chronic pain, trauma, lost quality of life — valued, not minimized.
- Corporate accountability that forces real safety changes inside the company.
- Your family protected financially, no matter what your recovery timeline looks like.
Hit by a truck in Georgia? The trucking company's lawyers are already working. Yours should be too.
