Georgia Laws Affecting Your Truck Accident Case
Federal & Georgia Trucking Regulations
Commercial truck drivers and carriers must follow strict safety rules, including:
- No more than 11 hours of consecutive driving after 10 hours off duty
- A maximum of 14 consecutive on-duty hours, including non-driving tasks
- Mandatory 30-minute break every 8 consecutive hours of driving
- Maximum 60 hours of driving in 7 days, or 70 hours in 8 days
- Minimum liability coverage of $100,000 per accident
These regulations exist to prevent fatigue, ensure proper rest, and promote safe driving. Violations can significantly strengthen your case.
Statute of Limitations
- 2 years to file a personal injury claim (OCGA § 9-3-33)
- 4 years to file a property damage claim (OCGA § 9-3-32)
Missing these deadlines can bar recovery entirely. Early legal guidance is essential.
Modified Comparative Fault Rule
Georgia follows a modified comparative fault system:
- You can recover damages only if you are less than 50% at fault.
- Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
We carefully evaluate fault, evidence, and liability to protect your right to recover.
