Testimonials

I don’t have any medical bills, I’m receiving revenue for my pain and suffering, and I’m very appreciative. I am truly satisfied with the results of my case.
"The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.
Murphy & Associates Car Accident Law firm is professional, efficient, and a pleasant experience doing business with.
I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

As the victim of an accident in Atlanta involving a semi, I'd like to know who regulates truck companies.

A: The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates trucking companies in the country. As the victim of an accident in Atlanta, you'll want to speak to an Atlanta car injury law firm about your accident involving a semi-truck and the role the FMCSA may take in your case.

The FMCSA, established in 2000, aims to prevent commercial vehicle-related accidents. They work directly with law enforcement agencies, as well as the motor carrier industry, which includes trucking companies.

The FMCSA regulates and enforces laws and performs various activities, including:

developing standards for commercial drivers' licensure;
coordinating research and collecting safety data to promote greater motor carrier safety;
providing financial support for commercial vehicle safety programs;
providing the public with safety information, statistical reports and webinars; and
investigating trucking companies with a pattern of dissonant behavior.

Although the FMCSA tries to keep highways safe, trucking accidents still occur all too frequently. And because of the sheer size of semi-trucks, horrific injuries or fatalities can result.

You may be eligible to seek compensation for a number of things after your accident, including:

medical bills;
lost wages or earning ability;
pain; and
emotional distress.

If you or a loved one has suffered in a truck accident in Atlanta, speak to someone at an Atlanta car injury law firm to learn about your options and see if you may be entitled to receive monetary compensation.
