Truck Accident Lawyers

Serving Atlanta, Georgia

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, when trucks were involved in fatal accidents, 78% of those killed were occupants in another vehicle, 8% were non-occupants, and only 15% were occupants of the truck. So, most victims of truck accidents are innocent drivers and passengers.

Because of the massive size and weight of trucks, trucking accidents can be catastrophic, resulting in serious injuries and death. The size and structure of trucks and how they are driven is very different from passenger vehicles; for this reason, drivers of passenger vehicles may be able to help avoid collisions by better understanding how many trucking accidents occur. The following are just some of the more common causes of truck accidents:

Jackknifing
Insufficient stopping distance
Equipment failure
Overload or shift in load
Blind spots
Trucker fatigue

If you are a victim of a truck accident, you must seek medical attention immediately and contact an attorney who specializes in representing people against the truck company's interests. Trucking companies have attorneys on their payroll who go to work right away whenever there is an accident. They will promise to pay you quickly and do everything in their power to get you to settle.

At Robbins & Associates in Atlanta, Georgia, we will listen to the facts of your case and then use our team of experts to gather evidence and construct a case designed to fully compensate you for your injuries and losses. We will contact the trucking company and insist that company records and data are turned over to us so that nothing is accidentally "lost" in the process.

If you have lost a family member, or a loved one has been severely injured in a truck accident, we can also help you build a case against the trucking company, or whoever is liable, so that you can receive the compensation that is due to you.
