After a truck accident, your attorney’s experience matters. Whether you’re the victim of a devastating accident, or a lawyer representing one – you get one chance to secure justice, for yourself or the client you are representing. After an accident, you need more than a litigator. You need a trucking accident attorney that knows every twist and turn on the journey to justice.

Joseph A. Fried and Michael L. Goldberg Walking

Over 100 years of combined experience handling truck accident cases.

While many attorneys claim to handle truck accident cases, at Fried Goldberg LLC, we dedicate more than 95% of our practice to representing victims of truck and commercial vehicle accidents.

Our firm is based in Atlanta, however, our lawyers are admitted in Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, and New York, and we have a nationwide practice, having handled cases in more than 40 different states. We’re also dedicated to providing Support for Plaintiff’s Attorneys to help them understand the complexities of this area of law. Law firms from across the country collaborate with our team on commercial vehicle cases because of our expertise, delivering maximum results for victims and their families.

We are the only law firm in the country to publish Understanding Motor Carrier Claims, Seventh Edition, a nationally recognized legal treatise on truck accident law. We’re proud to say that we wrote the book on truck accident law – literally.

Regardless of where you live in the country, we are the attorneys you can speak with if you or a loved one has been seriously injured or killed in a tractor-trailer accident. We have built our careers on fighting for Truck Accident Victims.

A National Reputation

There is nothing common or standard about a trucking accident. Semi-tractor trailers and commercial vehicles carry inherently different dynamics than passenger cars. When a truck is operated recklessly or not properly maintained, the consequences can be catastrophic.

Our lawyers have directly represented clients or co-counseled and instructed other lawyers in trucking litigation in all 50 states. From vehicle dynamics and laws of motion, to jury selection, premier experts and forensic investigators, Fried Goldberg has often been contacted on the eve of trial to ensure a victim is properly represented and receives the maximum recovery allowed under the law. We are also motivated by Making Our Roads Safer and fighting for the greater good. We’re dedicated to advocating for meaningful changes in the trucking industry to help make our roads safer for families.

“Fried Goldberg is a treasure in the Atlanta legal community. Their workshops are always so informative, and their hospitality is par excellence. If you have any interest in trucking law, they are more than worth the effort to see in person.” — Lisa T.

“Our job as trial lawyers is first to listen – really listen – so that we can find the compelling human story in our client’s case. Then we have to tell that story in a way that makes it the compelling story of each juror. When the jurors can be heroes, great verdicts happen.”

Joseph A. Fried
