Truck Accidents
Trucking companies have been known to send a representative to a Georgia truck accident scene immediately after a crash in an effort to perform "damage control" and minimize liability so that they won't have to pay the maximum recovery for a truck accident victim's injuries or wrongful death. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle collision involving a negligent truck driver in Atlanta or anywhere else in Georgia, do NOT talk to anyone associated with the trucking company without availing of your free consultation with Slater & King, Attorneys at Law.
Led by Atlanta Truck Accident Attorney Randy Slater, our Georgia truck accident law firm has spent more than 32 years protecting the rights of victims injured or killed in truck crashes, so that they and their families could obtain the full compensation owed to them for injuries, pain and suffering, medical and recovery expenses, lost wages, and other losses. Our Georgia truck accident lawyers will only agree to represent you if we believe we can win your case, and you will only pay us upon receipt of your financial recovery.
Truck Accident Facts
A collision with an 18-wheeler truck, a semi-truck, a tractor-trailer, a garbage truck, or any other large-sized truck can lead to serious injuries, including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severed limbs, serious burn injuries, and wrongful death. The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) reported that 232 people died in Georgia truck crashes in 2006, and the Motor Carrier Management Information System says that 5,497 survived such collisions that year but with injuries. Common causes of Georgia truck accidents include driver fatigue, operating a truck longer than the legally allowed number of hours, poor vehicle maintenance, speeding, drunk driving, failure to obey truck signs, and failure to check blind spots.
Trucking companies are known for taking aggressive action to protect their interests, and they may even try to get you to sign away your rights to financial recovery. DO NOT give in to their pressure tactics!
