18-Wheeler Accidents in GA

An 18-wheeler accident in GA is a serious and sometimes life-changing event. The average 18-wheeler, fully loaded with cargo, can reach a maximum of 80,000 pounds. Compare that to the weight of the average four-wheel passenger car, barely weighing 5,000 pounds—even with four passengers inside it. Given the difference in both size and weight, it is clear that, in the event of a collision, the greater part of the damage will be to the car, not the 18-wheeler.

You are very likely to encounter these types of cargo vehicles in Georgia, a state which provides numerous corridors to the commercial transport industry. The possibility of an 18-wheeler accident in GA is very much a reality in the Peach State.
The causes of such an accident can be numerous, and include:

  • Truck driver fatigue
  • Excessive speed
  • Reckless driving
  • Driver operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Mechanical failure of the truck
  • Inadequate routine maintenance on the truck
  • Unsecured cargo
  • Tire blowout

If you have been in a collision with one of these vehicles, you need an trucking accident lawyer in GA—someone who is sympathetic to your plight, dedicated to your case, and above all, knowledgeable in how to handle 18-wheeler claims.

An 18-wheeler accident lawyer in GA requires special expertise that goes beyond ordinary motor vehicle accidents. Claims against the trucking industry and its representatives are handled very differently than those against non-commercial vehicles.
