A collision with a semi-truck can change your life in seconds. If you were injured in Gwinnett County, we’re here to hold trucking companies accountable and fight for what you’re owed.
Tough on Trucking Companies. Trusted by Victims.
Truck accidents along I-85, Highway 316, and Buford Drive are far too common—and almost always catastrophic. The size and weight of commercial vehicles leave everyday drivers at a serious disadvantage. At Parrish Law Firm, we specialize in truck crash cases, and we know how to take on big insurance companies, commercial carriers, and their legal teams. Our experience in vehicle dynamics, combined with a deep understanding of trucking regulations, helps us build powerful cases for full compensation.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Gwinnett County
We handle complex truck crash cases involving:
- Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
- Speeding or reckless lane changes on I-85
- Distracted or impaired truck drivers
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Mechanical failure or poor truck maintenance
- Inadequate driver training or supervision
We investigate FMCSA compliance, driver logs, GPS data, and maintenance records to prove liability—something general personal injury firms often miss.
High-Risk Truck Routes in Gwinnett County
Truck accidents often occur near:
- The I-85 corridor through Duluth and Suwanee

We’re familiar with Gwinnett traffic patterns, construction zones, and the tactics insurers use to minimize commercial liability.
Imagine This
You’re driving on GA-316 when a tractor-trailer rear-ends you at a traffic light near Lawrenceville. The impact sends your vehicle into the intersection, causing neck and spine injuries. The trucking company’s insurer blames weather—but an experienced attorney could uncover a pattern of ignored maintenance complaints and a fatigued driver who violated service hour rules. We take your case to the next level and demand full damages.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Truck accident victims often face serious, long-term consequences. We help clients pursue:
- Emergency medical care, surgeries, and future treatment
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
- Rehabilitation and assistive care
- Punitive damages for egregious negligence
- Wrongful death claims for family members lost in a truck crash
We understand what’s at stake—and we know how to fight.
Let’s talk about your case before time runs out.
FAQs: Truck Accident Lawsuits in Georgia
How are truck accident claims different from car crashes?
They involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties (driver, company, manufacturer), and much higher insurance policy limits.
What if the truck driver was an independent contractor?
The trucking company may still be liable depending on the level of control they exercised. We investigate every link in the chain.
Should I accept a quick settlement?
Never without legal advice. Early offers are often far below the full value of your injuries and long-term needs.
What’s the statute of limitations?
Generally, you have 2 years to file—but in truck cases, earlier action allows us to secure black box data and time-sensitive evidence.
