Eighteen-wheelers are a critical link in the supply chain. They must share the road equally with smaller vehicles. These trucks are enormous and can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds when fully loaded.

Because of their immense size, changing lanes, braking, and even making turns is more difficult and dangerous. Due to these dangers, federal and state laws are in place to ensure truck drivers operate their trucks safely.

Unfortunately, not all truck drivers follow the rules of the road and proper safety protocols. When truck drivers do not heed the law, serious accidents result, and they are sometimes deadly.

At Metro Atlanta Law Group, we have helped countless truck accident victims claim the compensation they are owed for their injuries and damages. We believe truck drivers need to follow the rules of the road. If a truck driver causes an accident, they need to be held liable.

What Are Some of the Causes of Eighteen-Wheeler Accidents?

Thankfully, fatal truck accidents are decreasing due to a higher level of safety among drivers and safer equipment. Unfortunately, truck accidents still occur every day on Georgia roads.

Eighteen-wheeler accidents can have many causes, and there are sometimes multiple parties to pursue. The following are some of the reasons these accidents happen.

The truck driver was driving recklessly.
The truck driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The truck was defective.
The accident happened in a “No Zone”.
The truck driver committed an error.
The employer was negligent.

Victims of Georgia eighteen-wheeler truck accidents often testify of horrific injuries. Yes, these vehicles are a necessity for delivering goods, but negligent drivers should be held accountable for any injuries or damages they cause.

What Is My Case Worth?

One of the first questions injured victims want answers to is, “How much money am I owed?” The amount of money you will receive in your case depends on multiple factors.

If you can prove negligence on the part of the employer or truck manufacturer you could recover a substantial amount of money because these parties typically carry massive insurance policies.

You have the right to demand compensation for the following after a truck accident.

All medical bills & expenses
Any property damage
Lost wages & any future lost earning potential
Pain & suffering
Travel expenses related to treatment
Death benefits, if a loved one passed away
