I think my Georgia truck accident was caused by a drunk driver, but the trucker is refusing to take a drug or alcohol test. Will it hurt my case if a trucker refuses to take a drug or alcohol test after an accident?

A: If you have been hurt in a Georgia truck wreck, then you may be entitled to damages whether or not the truck driver was operating a vehicle on drugs or with a blood alcohol content of 0.04% or higher. That said, the Department of Transportation views a refusal to take a drug test the same way as a positive drug test, and an Atlanta truck accident lawyer may be able to present evidence that the trucker refused to take an alcohol or drug test in your case.

If you have been hurt by a truck driver in a Georgia crash, then it is important to contact an Atlanta truck accident attorney as soon as possible after your accident. Regardless of the outcome of the truck driver’s drug or alcohol test, we will zealously advocate for your full recovery. Call us at 770.518.1133 for more information.
