One of the scariest experiences that an automobile driver can be involved in is an accident with a truck—whether an 18-wheeler, a semi-truck, or a tractor-trailer. This can result in serious injuries, and in many cases, fatalities. Sadly, truck accidents are extremely common in roads and highways across the country, including in Atlanta.
Potential causes of truck accidents in Atlanta include driver negligence, speeding, driver fatigue, inadequate driver training, improper loading of trucks, improper truck maintenance, mechanical failure or manufacturing defects, and negligence on the part of the employer.
By being involved in a truck accident, you could be at risk for injuries like internal bleeding, head trauma, cuts, lacerations, broken bones, scars, disfigurement, and spinal cord injury. The severe and even permanent injuries that result from truck accidents can lead to significant financial expenses, as well as emotional and psychological damages for both the victim and the victim’s loved ones.
The law, however, provides the victim the right to recover economic and non-economic damages from the responsible party. Some of these damages may include, but are not limited to, property damage, lost wages, medical expenses, rehabilitation expenses, and pain and suffering.
Filing a truck accident claim can be a difficult undertaking as multiple parties may be considered at fault for your accident. Such parties include the trucking company, the trucking parts manufacturer, and the truck driver.
