Calhoun / Gordon County Georgia Trucking Accidents

Calhoun and Gordon County are midway between Atlanta and Chattanooga. One of the main centers of the carpet industry and the poultry industry in America, Gordon County has a great deal of truck traffic. Much of the interstate trucking — tractor trailer, big rig, semi truck and straight truck — in this community is involved in shipping carpet across the nation and around the world. In addition, all interstate trucking traffic between the Midwest and Florida passes through Calhoun on I-75. Accidents involving catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death in Gordon County naturally result.

Ken Shigley set the record of the highest personal injury jury verdict in the history of Gordon County in 2007. He has handled a number of serious trucking cases from Gordon County, and has good relations with the bench, bar and court staff there.

Many interstate trucking cases arising in Gordon County wind up in federal court in Rome. Ken Shigley has handled cases in that court on and off for nearly 30 years, and has good relationships in Rome as well.
