A truck crash claim in Georgia can reach beyond the driver. It may name the motor carrier and, in some cases, a freight broker or shipper that helped arrange the trip. T. Madden & Associates, P.C. has been in practice since 1999. This guide explains how a freight broker truck accident lawyer in Georgia looks at these claims, including who may share responsibility, how fault is divided, and what evidence matters.<\/p>\n

Why a Truck Crash Claim May Name More Than the Driver<\/h2>\n

A claim after a truck crash can name the driver, the motor carrier, and sometimes a broker or shipper. Those companies may have made decisions that helped cause the collision.<\/p>\n

This page is for injured people and for families of people killed in Georgia truck crashes where a third party arranged the load. If a broker chose the carrier or set the schedule, or a shipper loaded the trailer, that conduct may matter.<\/p>\n

Georgia divides fault by percentage. Under O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-12-33<\/a>, the trier of fact assigns fault among everyone who contributed to the harm. Naming every party with a role matters early.<\/p>\n

Whether a broker or shipper belongs in your claim depends on the facts. Our team reviews the crash, the load paperwork, and your injuries during a free, confidential consultation with no obligation to continue.<\/p>\n\n

What Freight Brokers and Shippers Do, and Where Liability Can Arise<\/h2>\n

A freight broker arranges a trip by matching a shipper’s load with a motor carrier that will haul it. A shipper is the company that offers the freight for shipment.<\/p>\n

Broker and shipper decisions can matter in several places:<\/p>\n
