Georgia Truck Accident Attorney
Every day drivers on Georgia roads and highways vehicles encounter numerous large trucks such as tractor trailers, 18 wheelers and other large trucks weighing in at over 5 tons. 18 wheelers are involved in an increasingly large amount of fatal and catastrophic accidents throughout Georgia and nationwide. Unfortunately, due to the large size of trucks, most of the fatalities and injuries happen to occupants of other motor vehicles while 18wheelers usually escape these accidents with little or no injury.
Some of the most common causes of accidents involving large trucks include:
- Driver Fatigue
- Speeding
- Truck rollover
- Repair & Maintenance Failure
- DUI / DWI
- Mechanical Failure
- Brake Failure
- Faulty tires
- Overloaded trucks and trailers
- Weight shift of truck load
- Backing up
