Truck Accident
Georgia Truck & 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyers
Georgia’s interstates—like I-75, I-85, and I-20—are vital commercial corridors for the southeastern U.S. Unfortunately, they’re also hot zones for devastating 18-wheeler and semi-truck accidents. When a truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the consequences can be catastrophic or fatal. If you or a loved one has been injured in a Georgia trucking accident, you need experienced legal counsel who can take on powerful trucking companies and their insurers.
Why Are Truck Accidents So Severe?
The average passenger car weighs around 3,000 pounds. A fully loaded tractor-trailer can
weigh up to 80,000 pounds. The force of impact in a truck crash is exponentially higher than
in a typical car accident. Victims often suffer:
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken bones and internal bleeding
• Severe burns and disfigurement
• Wrongful death
Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Georgia
Our legal team investigates the underlying causes of each crash to hold all negligent parties
accountable. Common causes include:
• Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
• Distracted or impaired driving (alcohol, drugs, cell phone use)
• Improperly loaded or unsecured cargo
• Poor vehicle maintenance or brake failure
• Inadequate driver training or background checks
• Speeding or reckless driving to meet delivery deadlines
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Georgia Trucking Case?
Trucking cases are more complex than ordinary car accident claims because multiple
entities may be legally responsible. Our firm routinely investigates and litigates against:
• The truck driver
• The trucking company (carrier)
• Freight loaders and logistics companies
• Truck manufacturers and maintenance providers
• Insurance companies covering commercial policies
Georgia Trucking Laws and Federal Regulations
Trucking companies must comply with both Georgia law and federal regulations set by the
FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration). These rules govern driver rest
breaks, maintenance logs, inspection records, and more. Our attorneys are well-versed in:
• Title 40 of the Georgia Code (Motor Vehicles)
• FMCSA guidelines and violations
• CDL requirements and disqualification triggers
Steps to Take After a Truck Accident
If you're involved in a crash with a commercial truck in Georgia:
1. Call 911 and seek medical help immediately.
2. Obtain the truck’s DOT number and company information.
3. Take photos of the vehicles, road, and any visible injuries.
4. Do not give a recorded statement to the trucking company or their insurer.
5. Contact a qualified Georgia truck accident lawyer right away.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Depending on your injuries and circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation for:
• Emergency and long-term medical treatment
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Vehicle repair or replacement
• Punitive damages in gross negligence cases
• Wrongful death benefits (if applicable)
