Today marks the start of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's annual safety awareness week.

Did you know that as of the end of April 2026, there have been over 33,300 crashes involving trucks, with 760+ of those involving fatalities? Heavy trucks make up only about 4% of all registered highway vehicles, but given the long distances they go, account for approximately 10% of all miles driven. Even though truck accidents only make up about 6% of fatal accidents, they often result in some of the most severe injuries and damages given their size.

As you embark on summer travel, keep these safety tips in mind:
1. Stay out of blind spots
2. Do not cut in front of a large truck or bus
3. Leave extra space when following
4. Give trucks and buses extra room to turn

If you or a loved one are involved in a trucking accident, call us for a free case evaluation at 404-523-7706.

The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that freight brokers may now be held liable for negligently hiring unsafe trucking companies. A freight broker is a company that helps connect businesses needing goods shipped with trucking companies (carriers) that transport those goods.

The Court recognized that brokers play a critical role in selecting carriers and may be responsible when they ignore poor safety records or unfit drivers. This is a major development in trucking litigation and could expand accountability beyond the driver and trucking company to include the freight broker.

DRUG ALERT: The FDA is proposing to withdraw marketing approval of TAVNEOS (avacopan) after discovering serious new issues. The agency says there is not enough reliable evidence that the drug actually works as claimed. According to the FDA, key clinical trial data may have been manipulated to make the drug look effective, even though the original results did not support that conclusion.

The letter also states that important information was not properly shared with the FDA during approval, including how the study data was analyzed. Because of this, the FDA believes the approval may have been based on inaccurate or misleading information.

In addition to concerns about effectiveness, Tavneos has been linked to serious safety risks, including liver damage and other potentially life-threatening conditions.

Albertsons agreed to a $774 million nationwide settlement framework to resolve opioid-related claims alleging its pharmacies contributed to the opioid crisis.

In states like Georgia, Community Service Boards (CSB) serve as the primary access point for publicly funded healthcare services for individuals who are uninsured or underinsured. Pope McGlamry represents Georgia CSB's covering 127 counties in their claims against opioid manufacturers.
