One of the most significant issues that surface during the course of a logging truck claim is the lack of insurance coverage. Many logging and pulpwood trucks only operate within the state of Georgia. Consequently, these fleets of logging trucks need only carry $100,000 of liability insurance. However, a logging truck that crosses state lines such as into Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, or Tennessee must have $750,000 or more of liability insurance. The difference stems from the rules governing intrastate versus interstate travel. Trucks remaining within Georgia are subject to Georgia’s rules and regulations. Meanwhile, a truck carrying forestry products over state lines must follow federal law.

One of the many reasons Georgia is such a great state to live and work is hard working, proud, and honest people who live in the state. However, filing a logging accident lawsuit in a smaller county in the heart of logging country has its pitfalls. Jurors who sit on logging truck accident lawsuits may have relatives or friends in the logging industry or even themselves make a living in some way connected to it. The same thing goes with law enforcement officers in the more rural parts of the state that are inextricably intertwined with logging. Police officers might mistakenly take a real hard stance when allegations are made against a truck driver.
