Injured in a Truck Accident in Georgia? Here’s What You Need to Know

Why Truck Accident Claims Are More Complicated

Commercial truck crashes involve more than just a negligent driver. Potentially liable parties may include:

• Trucking companies
• Cargo loaders
• Maintenance providers
• Vehicle manufacturers
• Insurance companies and brokers

In addition, federal regulations govern many aspects of the trucking industry, including driver hours, vehicle inspections, and load limits. Violations of these rules can directly impact liability in a personal injury claim.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Many truck accidents occur due to a combination of driver behavior and operational negligence, such as:

• Driver fatigue (violating Hours-of-Service rules)
• Distracted driving or cell phone use
• Speeding or unsafe lane changes
• Improperly secured cargo
• Inadequate vehicle maintenance
• Impaired driving (alcohol or drug use)

Understanding the root cause is key to building a strong legal case—and holding the right parties accountable.

Injuries Often Seen in Trucking Collisions

Because of the size disparity between trucks and passenger vehicles, the injuries involved are often severe or life-altering. These may include:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Fractures and crush injuries
• Severe burns or lacerations
• Internal bleeding
• Long-term disability or paralysis

• Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Victims of truck accidents in Georgia may be eligible to recover damages for:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Rehabilitation and therapy
• Lost income and reduced earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Long-term care or home modifications

These cases often involve large insurance policies—and equally aggressive insurers. Legal representation ensures you don’t settle for less than your injuries are worth.
