⚖️ Liability & Fault in De Soto
Companies can be held responsible for a negligent employee’s actions during work duties, and separately for their own negligence in hiring, training, or maintaining vehicles. We investigate both angles to maximize your recovery.
⚖️ Legal Information
Georgia’s 2-year statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) applies to most truck and commercial vehicle injury claims, but claims involving a government fleet vehicle can carry shorter notice deadlines — worth confirming early.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1Who is responsible when a company vehicle causes an accident?
The driver and the company that employs them can both be responsible, especially if the driver was working at the time of the crash or the company was negligent in training or maintenance.
2What if I was hit by a delivery driver rushing to finish their route?
That can support a negligence claim against both the driver and the company, especially if the company’s policies pressured drivers to speed or skip breaks.
3How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?
Generally 2 years from the date of the accident under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, though claims involving government vehicles can have shorter notice requirements.
Whether it was a delivery driver rushing a route or a poorly maintained work truck, we build your commercial vehicle accident case around the company’s responsibility, not just the moment of impact.
If a work truck or delivery vehicle hurt you in De Soto, you may be facing a company that has lawyers on retainer before you’ve even left the hospital. We match that from day one, so you’re never outmatched.
