Truck Driver Injury in Georgia

Due to their immense size, trucks can be difficult to stop and can maim and kill if an accident happens. If you have been injured in a truck accident in Georgia, the law office of Robert S.

Common causes of truck accidents

Some of the most common cause of truck accidents include:

Fatigue: Fatigued truck drivers should not be operating their vehicles. However, the reality is that many commercial truck drivers remain on the road regardless of their level of alertness because they have a schedule to keep. An exhausted driver can swerve back and forth across the highway and cause serious injuries to both truck drivers and other motorists alike. Contact an experienced attorney immediately if you are in an accident with a fatigued driver.
Speeding: Any vehicle operating at excessive speeds is difficult to stop. A truck that is speeding is extremely dangerous. Not only are these metal behemoths difficult to stop when speeding, but anything or anyone they hit can be instantaneously destroyed.
Poor vehicle maintenance: Failure to maintain a commercial truck can cause severe injury. All drivers have a responsibility to keep their vehicle inspected and maintained. A truck that has faulty brakes, tires, or hitches is a danger to other drives on the road. Contact an experienced Georgia attorney as soon as possible if you are in an accident with a truck.

After receiving medical treatment, you should contact an attorney immediately. Acting quickly is crucial if you are injured by a Georgia truck driver and plan on filing a lawsuit—the state's statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is two years. This means that you have two years from the time of your injury to file a claim. A lawyer skilled in Georgia personal injury law can assist you with filing a lawsuit.
