North Georgia Truck Accident Lawyer
Truck Accident Attorney Serving North Georgia
For anyone involved in an accident with a commercial truck, the consequences are usually catastrophic. When involved in a collision with a tractor trailer, 18 wheeler, or semi truck, passengers in standard-size vehicles have little chance of escaping the accident unscathed. Due to the sheer size, weight, and force behind commercial trucks, when a passenger in a standard-size vehicle is hit by a truck, he or she is likely to sustain some type of debilitating or crippling condition. Brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, neck injuries, paralysis, amputation, broken bones, crushed organs, crushed limbs, disfigurement, and permanent disability are just some of the injuries a truck accident victim may sustain.
What Causes Truck Accidents to Occur?
There are a number of circumstances that can cause a truck accident. The majority of truck accidents are caused by negligence or recklessness on the part of the truck driver, such as:
- Driving under the influence
- Reckless driving
- Excessive speeding
- Driver fatigue
- Taking turns at high speeds
- Texting while driving
- Driving without a commercial driver’s license
- Failure to follow traffic signs and signals
- Driving for too long without taking a break
Other circumstances that may lead to a truck accident include driving in poor weather conditions, driving on poorly maintained roads and highways, failing to maintain or repair the truck, overloading the truck, and mechanical malfunctions or defects.
