Decades of Helping Statesboro Residents
My practice focuses on vehicle accidents because when you’ve been injured in a wreck with a semi-truck, 18-wheeler, or large commercial vehicle, you need someone who knows what he’s doing. That’s where the Marsh Law Firm comes in.
As a truck accident lawyer with over 31 years of experience, Troy Marsh is a hard-working trial attorney who can hold the right people accountable. We will assess your case quickly, identify those at-fault, gather and compile all of your medical records and bills, and present your claim in a way that reduces your stress and maximizes its value.
What Troy Marsh Can Do
Truck accidents often result in serious, painful injuries and being forced to deal with large insurance companies.
They’ll have teams of attorneys devoted to limiting what they owe or shifting the blame entirely to you. You may even be pressured to accept a settlement.
Your lawyer should work harder.
Your lawyer will always be Troy Marsh. Even if Mr. Marsh associates another truck accident lawyer because of her/his particular skill in a specific area (there is no additional cost to you), Mr. Marsh will still be your lawyer, and you still talk to him.
Your questions get answered. In fact, you can expect a call at least once a week so you can get an update, ask any questions, or express any concerns. Mr. Marsh wants you to rest easy knowing a hard working commercial vehicle accident attorney is looking out for you.
Your 18-wheeler accident lawyer can get results. With over three decades of experience and a history of getting injury victims relief, Mr. Marsh knows what makes for a successful truck accident claim. This means identifying those at fault, making the insurer respond, negotiating for higher awards, and if necessary preparing the strongest possible case for trial.
You get max value for minimal risk. Troy Marsh takes injury cases on a contingency basis. That means you only pay an attorney’s fee if you win the case. In exchange, we investigate and assess and fight for compensation for all of your losses. If a settlement offer covers everything, Troy will say so. If you can do better, he'll fight for it. If your best option is in court, he’ll be ready.
How The Marsh Firm Can Help
With I-16, U.S. 301, and Route 67 running through Statesboro, the area sees a good amount of commercial traffic.
But truck accidents can happen almost anywhere. The main cause in a truck vs. car crash is typically negligence, but the Marsh Law Firm can help if your accident resulted from:

Each accident is different, and the results that we’ve achieved for our clients should not be considered an expectation for what we can do for you. We are providing examples of case victories to illustrate that we fight hard for our clients to get meaningful results.
Help with your Injury
To win a truck accident case, you need to prove that the driver or another party was responsible for the crash and your injuries. To prove fault, you’ll need to show someone owed you a duty of care and neglected it.
Proving that their carelessness caused you harm isn’t always easy, and there may be other parties involved, like the truck driver’s employer or a manufacturer.
The Claims Process
An insurance adjuster may contact you soon after the crash offering a quick settlement. Be wary of low-ball offers because they are meant to resolve your case before you can consult a truck accident lawyer and they rarely cover all your damages.
However, by working with an accident lawyer like Troy Marsh, with specific trucking industry experience and record of success in courts across Georgia, they know you are treating your case seriously and so should they. This often ends with them coming to the negotiation table and higher settlement offers.
There is no “average” settlement for a truck accident. However, because of the often severe injuries involved and large insurance policies trucking companies carry, awards can potentially be higher for a truck wreck than a normal car accident.
But generally, the financial damages in a truck accident case include past and future medical expenses, any lost wages or diminished earnings, certain out of pocket expenses, and potential compensation for pain and suffering.
Again, the length of time your specific claim takes to resolve depends on various factors, best discussed with your attorney. Insurance companies notoriously pressure victims to accept quick settlements, which means paying out less than you deserve.
Unfortunately, you do not have unlimited time to file your claim. The time in which you have to file a truck accident lawsuit is called the statute of limitations and Georgia law allows a truck accident victim two years from the date of the accident to file. When it expires, you will typically be barred from pursuing a lawsuit.
Feel free to ask anything, especially during your free consultation. This can include questions about Mr. Marsh’s experience, the legal process, truck accident laws, settlement procedures, and other issues like how we will approach your case and how it might affect your daily life.
