GEORGIA AND FLORIDA TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWYER
The Tehlirian Law Group, led by Jessica Tehlirian, Esq. is dedicated to representing individuals involved in 18-wheeler truck accidents. Our mission is clear: to secure full and fair compensation for our clients. Insurance companies and large corporations often attempt to exploit victims with lowball settlement offers. With the support of our experienced accident attorneys, you can fight for the compensation you rightfully deserve.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR TRUCK ACCIDENT CASE
Injured parties in an accident typically file a personal injury claim to get compensation for the damages and injuries sustained in a truck accident. However, sometimes, you may not have the legal grounds to file a compensation lawsuit.
Your eligibility to file for damages and personal injury compensation will depend on what happened during your accident.
Your lawyer will check whether the five elements of negligence were present during the crash. To prove fault, your lawyer will need to examine whether the impact had the following conditions:
The liable parties breached their duty
The responsible parties had a responsibility to protect and prevent the accident that caused you harm
You suffered an injury and measurable loss
The at-fault party’s actions directly caused the accident
Your trucking lawyer will also investigate things such as vehicle maintenance records, driver log books, tire blowouts, unsafe vehicles, hazardous materials, brake failure, mechanical failure, driver fatigue, impaired driving, trucking regulations, federal regulations, and other pieces of evidence that may have caused the truck collision.
The Tehlirian Law Group will help you evaluate your case during a free consultation. During the initial consultation, our lawyers will evaluate your case, weigh your options, and give you proper guidance on how to proceed.

Yes, we handle commercial trucking accidents – call now!
Commercial trucks like 18-wheelers, box trucks, tractor-trailers, and semi-trucks can often cause catastrophic injuries that are much more severe than the injuries a person may suffer from a regular car crash. Tehlirian Law Group will ensure that you receive proper treatment for your injuries.
WHAT TO DO AFTER A TRUCK ACCIDENT:
1
CALL THE POLICE.
Get help by dialing 911. If you are hurt, ask for medical attention. A police officer will come to the scene and make a police report. The police report will be important to your case.
2
GATHER THE RIGHT INFORMATION.
While waiting for the police to arrive, take photos of the accident scene and any visible damages to your vehicle or other property. If possible, also take photos of the surrounding area and any traffic signs or signals that may be relevant.
Additionally, swap information with the other driver or other parties involved in the accident, including their names, phone number, contact information, insurance information, and vehicle information. If there are any witnesses, obtain their contact information and ask if they would be willing to provide a statement later on.
3
SEE A DOCTOR.
You might feel perfectly fine, but injuries like whiplash can take hours or even days to manifest.
This also provides a medical record that can help build your case with the insurance company. Waiting too long before seeking medical treatment might harm your claim and the insurance company may not accept responsibility for your injuries.
4
INFORM YOUR INSURANCE.
Insurance companies should always be notified of any accidents so they can start collecting evidence. Do not speak to any insurance company until you have hired a lawyer.
5
HIRE AN ACCIDENT ATTORNEY.
You may not think you need an attorney after a car accident, but if you have been hurt, you should call a lawyer to help build your case.
Seeking compensation can be lengthier than you would imagine, and insurance providers are notoriously challenging to work around. A skilled car accident attorney will deal with these legal matters so you can focus on your recovery.
Just because you are not at fault, it can still be up to you to prove that the other driver was responsible.
Remember, Georgia and Florida's statutes of limitations mean that you have only two years from the accident date to file a personal injury claim against the at-fault party.
6
KEEP QUIET.
Do not post anything online. Posting about your case online will not win your case but it may hurt it.
