Truck Accident Lawyer Lawrenceville, GA

Handling the aftermath of an accident on your own is adding insult to injury.

We are here to make sure you are taken care of.

There's no denying the immense presence of commercial trucks on our highways. They play an essential role in our economy, transporting goods across states and even countries. However, their size and the volume of goods they carry means that when accidents occur, the aftermath can be particularly devastating.

Being involved in a trucking accident can be a life-changing event, and understanding the intricacies of legal recourse is paramount for victims. This guide aims to shed light on some of the most pressing questions related to trucking accidents.

What Makes Trucking Accidents Different?

  1. Complexity of Liability: A trucking accident doesn't just involve the driver. Many entities can potentially be held responsible, such as the trucking company, vehicle owner, cargo loaders, and even maintenance providers. Determining liability often requires a comprehensive investigation.
  2. Severity of Injuries: Due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks compared to average passenger vehicles, collisions frequently result in severe, if not fatal, injuries.
  3. Federal and State Regulations: Commercial trucking is bound by numerous regulations, both at federal and state levels. These pertain to driver training, rest periods, weight restrictions, and more. Violations can play a significant role in accident claims.

Factors Contributing To Trucking Accidents

  • Driver Fatigue: While regulations stipulate rest periods, the pressure to meet delivery deadlines can lead to driver fatigue, a significant cause of accidents.
  • Equipment Failure: This can be due to manufacturing defects or inadequate maintenance. Brake failures, tire blowouts, and steering issues can all lead to catastrophic accidents.
  • Improper Loading: Overloading or improperly securing cargo can cause a truck to become unstable, increasing the risk of jackknifing or cargo spills.
  • Distracted Driving: Like any other vehicle, truck drivers are also susceptible to distractions, which can have disastrous consequences given the size of their vehicle.

Pursuing A Legal Claim

Once liability is determined, victims can pursue compensation. This process might involve negotiations with insurance companies or even going to trial. It's essential to understand that compensation isn't limited to just medical expenses. Victims might also be eligible for lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and in tragic instances, wrongful death claims.
