According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2005, one of every eight fatal auto accidents involved a large truck. Due to their immense size and weight, as well as turning restrictions and blind spots, trucks are inherently dangerous. Trucking accidents often result in catastrophic personal injury or wrongful death to other drivers.
Because of this increased risk of injury resulting from a collision involving a large truck, federal regulations require each commercial vehicle to carry between $750,000 and $5 million in liability insurance coverage to compensate truck accident victims. If you or a loved one has been hurt or suffered a wrongful death in a truck accident, an experienced trucking accident lawyer at our Atlanta, Georgia law office can help you obtain fair compensation.
Over the last thirty years, the number of large trucks on American roadways has continually risen — as has the number of trucking-related accidents and injuries. United States Department of Transportation truck accident statistics show that, on average, someone is injured or killed every 16 minutes in a semi-tractor trailer or other large truck accident.
