The Problem
You’re fighting a corporation, not a driver.
What Happened
State Bridge Road and Medlock Bridge Road (GA-141) carry heavy tractor-trailer and delivery traffic through Johns Creek. Truck crashes there often cause catastrophic injuries treated at Emory Johns Creek Hospital, and the evidence, including the truck’s electronic logging and engine data, can be lost quickly if no one moves to preserve it.
How It Feels
You feel helpless against a corporation with unlimited legal resources. Who do you even sue? Driver? Carrier? Cargo loader? Maintenance contractor? You’re terrified your injuries will keep you from working or living normally again.
What’s Fair
When a trucking company puts profits over safety — overworking drivers, skipping inspections, overloading cargo — and someone gets hurt or killed, it should face the full consequences. Not hide behind corporate lawyers. Not destroy evidence.

What You’re Up Against
Trucking companies that destroy evidence and dodge accountability.
Within hours of a serious crash, the carrier’s playbook activates. Every day you wait, evidence disappears. This isn’t a car accident. It’s a war against a billion-dollar industry that has this process down to a science.
Within hours, the trucking company’s investigators are at the crash scene — photographing, documenting, controlling the narrative, often before you’re out of the ER.
Electronic logging device data showing hours-of-service violations can overwrite in as little as 7 days. Event data recorder logs get ‘lost’ if no one demands preservation.
Drug test results, training records, medical certifications, and driver qualification files get cleaned up before plaintiff’s counsel ever sees them.
Meet Your Legal Team
Gunn Law Group — we’ve seen what an 80,000-pound truck does to a family.
Why We Do This
We’ve sat with spouses who don’t know if their partner will walk again. We’ve talked to parents whose child’s car was crushed by a driver who’d been awake for 16 hours. This is the most devastating type of case we handle — and it’s why we take it the most seriously.
Our Track Record
Millions recovered in Georgia trucking crash cases.
Deep command of FMCSA regulations (49 CFR Parts 350–399).
Day-1 spoliation letters preserving electronic evidence.
Accident reconstruction, trucking-industry, and medical experts on every case.
We go after every responsible party — driver, carrier, broker, maintenance, cargo.
The Plan
Three steps to outmaneuver a billion-dollar trucking company.
Step 01
Call 888-BIG-GUNN. We issue spoliation letters on Day 1, legally demanding the trucking company preserve ELD data, driver logs, maintenance records, and surveillance footage.
Step 02
Hours-of-service, drug & alcohol testing, maintenance and inspection records, driver qualification files, cargo securement, GPS, ELD, and black box data — all on the table. In Johns Creek, that includes the report from Johns Creek Police or Georgia State Patrol.
Georgia & Federal Truck Law
The statutes and regulations that put the carrier on the hook.
Trucking companies must comply with FMCSA rules on hours-of-service, drug testing, vehicle maintenance, and driver qualification. Violations are powerful evidence of negligence.
The trucking company is typically liable for the driver’s negligence committed within the scope of employment — opening the company’s commercial policy.
When a trucking company shows willful misconduct or conscious indifference — knowingly putting an impaired or exhausted driver on the road — punitive damages may be available.
What’s at Stake
What happens if you wait.
ELD data can overwrite in as little as 7 days — lose it and you lose the hours-of-service case.
The trucking company’s defense lawyers are building their case while you’re still in the hospital.
Georgia’s 2-year statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) starts running the day of the crash.
Catastrophic medical bills can exceed $500,000 — without legal recovery, that bill is yours.
If no one holds them accountable, the driver keeps driving and the company keeps cutting corners.
When We Win
What we fight for.
Catastrophic medical bills covered — surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
Lost income and diminished earning capacity fully compensated.
Pain and suffering — chronic pain, trauma, lost quality of life — valued, not minimized.
Corporate accountability that forces real safety changes inside the company.
Your family protected financially, no matter what your recovery timeline looks like.

FAQ
Johns Creek Truck Accident Questions
Possibly the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, a maintenance shop or the truck or parts manufacturer. We investigate every party and every policy.
Electronic logging device (ELD) data can be overwritten in as little as 7 days. Black box / event data recorder logs, dispatch and GPS records, and surveillance footage from nearby businesses are similarly time-sensitive. A Day-1 spoliation letter is critical.
The motor carrier (often vicariously liable under O.C.G.A. § 51-2-2), the broker that hired an unqualified carrier, the maintenance provider that signed off on a dangerous truck, and the cargo company that overloaded or improperly secured the trailer. Multiple defendants often mean multiple policies.
FMCSA limits how long a commercial driver can drive without rest (generally an 11-hour driving limit within a 14-hour window). When ELD records show a driver exceeded those limits, it’s strong evidence the carrier knowingly put a fatigued driver on the road — which can support punitive damages.
Generally 2 years from the crash date under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Wrongful death and certain government-vehicle claims have different rules. Regardless, evidence preservation can’t wait — call us immediately.
It’s almost always a lowball designed to close the file before you understand the full extent of your injuries or your right to pursue multiple defendants. Don’t sign anything without a truck accident attorney reviewing it.
