Truck Accidents Archives

One of the most dangerous aspects of Atlanta area highway travel is the potential for truck accidents and the injuries that they can cause. An accident that involves a tractor-trailer or large truck is much more likely to result in catastrophic injuries that are more severe than those that result from car crashes that involve two passenger vehicles.

According to the United States Department of Transportation, large trucks were involved in 12% of all traffic fatalities in recent years and a staggering 94% of truck crash victims were not riding in the truck, regardless of who was at fault. Trucking accidents are different because they often involve commercial vehicles with commercial interests. In a serious accident between two passenger cars, both victims and their families are likely to be overwhelmed and unlikely to have much experience with the legal and medical issues they will face.
