Truck accidents are the most devastating accidents that occur on our roads. A vehicle with a gross weight over 10,000 lbs. is considered a large truck and many tractor trailers weigh in excess of 80,000 lbs. Because these commercial vehicles often weigh 20 - 30 times more than passenger cars, accidents involving a tractor-trailer or other large truck are more likely to result in death or serious injury.
In Georgia, I-285 was recently named the deadliest highway in the United States, in part due to the large amount of truck traffic. If you have been injured in an accident involving a tractor-trailer or other large truck, you need an experienced Atlanta truck accident lawyer to represent you.
