What has The Scott Pryor Law Group recovered in trucking cases?

The Scott Pryor Law Group's top trucking results include a commercial van rollover settlement in which the firm represented 3 of the victims, two trucking wrongful death cases (one in Greenville County, South Carolina) and several Georgia truck wreck cases, including an improper left turn and a rear-end collision.

Trucking cases are different from car cases. The defendant is often a trucking company, and the evidence sits in its records: electronic logging devices, driver qualification files and maintenance records. Federal and state safety rules apply too. Trucking companies must follow strict safety regulations, including limits on driver hours and maintenance requirements. O.C.G.A. § 40-1-8

At the firm, Senior Case Manager Steve Ware handles complex trucking and commercial vehicle cases and has more than a decade of personal injury experience. Founding partner Scott Pryor secured the Greenville County wrongful death result for a family whose mother was killed by a negligent commercial driver.

What do these results mean for my case?

The Scott Pryor Law Group's past results show the kinds of Georgia injury cases the firm has handled. They don't tell you what your case is worth, and no lawyer can promise you money. Value depends on your injuries, the available insurance coverage, the strength of the evidence and many other factors.

Two cases that look alike on paper can end very differently. A serious injury caused by a driver with a small insurance policy may only reach the coverage that exists. That is why the firm looks for every available policy early, including uninsured motorist coverage.

Evidence matters too. Medical records, witness statements, photos and video from the scene, and expert testimony all shape what an insurer will offer and what a jury will accept.

The only way to know what your case may be worth is an evaluation of its facts. Our articles explain how value works for car accident cases and wrongful death cases in Georgia. For your own case, schedule a free consultation.

• Your injuries: how serious they are, how long treatment lasts, and whether they are permanent
• Insurance coverage: the policies available to pay the claim
• Evidence: how clearly the records show who caused the harm
• Other factors: details a lawyer can judge only from the facts of your case

Why do insurance companies take trial preparation seriously?

Insurance companies weigh what a Georgia jury might do when they decide what to offer on an injury claim. When The Scott Pryor Law Group prepares a case for trial from the start, the insurer has to account for that risk instead of assuming the claim will settle for less. Preparation is not a promise of any result.

The firm prepares every case for trial from the start. As the case goes, it preserves evidence, gathers medical records, takes depositions and consults experts.

The firm's litigation process has six steps, from filing the lawsuit to trial. A case can settle at any time along the way. Very few cases go all the way to trial.

Founding partner Scott Pryor spent the early years of his career trying cases nonstop and today focuses on personal injury litigation.
