Semi-Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Small Impacts Can Have Devastating Results
Semi-truck accidents are very common whether they are traveling with or without cargo. These trucks are fast, heavy, and cannot stop on a dime making accidents involved with semis quite catastrophic. Smaller vehicles are most often found involved in crashes with semi-trucks and due to the size difference they do not stand a chance.
Overall, the results of a semi-truck collision can be truly devastating no matter the cause. If you or a loved one has experienced injuries caused by a semi-truck accident, you have the right to seek compensation.

Common Causes of Semi-Truck Accidents
Tractor Trailer Driver Negligence
Driver negligence can include speeding, overloading the trailer, breaking traffic laws, poor training, lack of experience, texting while driving, drunk driving, etc.
Another Driver's Carelessness
Many drivers aren't comfortable driving near large trucks and drive differently (and riskier) than they would near an ordinary vehicle, resulting in a higher number of tractor trailer related accidents (cutting trucks off, slamming on breaks, etc.).
Inclement Weather
Heavy rain, ice, snow, and even fog can pose a threat to all drivers, but especially semi-truck drivers when operating such big rigs.
Product Liability
The manufacturer is determined negligent whenever the tractor trailer itself has faulty parts causing the truck to be defective and result in a wreck. Tire blowouts, brake failure, and steering troubles are all common examples of product liability.
Roadway Hazards
Construction zones, potholes, various debris, and other hazards that are seen every day on our Georgia roads can contribute to unexpected tractor trailer accidents.
