Types of Truck Accident Cases We Handle
Truck accidents are not one-size-fits-all; they come in many forms, each with unique challenges and complexities. Our Atlanta truck accident lawyers have extensive experience handling a wide range of truck accident cases. We understand the nuances of each case type and are committed to securing the compensation and justice you deserve. Below are the types of truck accident cases we frequently handle:
Semi-Truck and 18-Wheeler Accidents
Collisions with semi-trucks and 18-wheelers are among the most devastating types of accidents due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles. These cases often result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities, and they require detailed investigations, including reviewing black box data and driver logs. We work tirelessly to hold negligent trucking companies and drivers accountable.
Jackknife Accidents
Jackknife accidents occur when a truck’s trailer swings out at an angle, creating a deadly obstacle for other vehicles. These accidents are often caused by improper braking or slick road conditions. Our team identifies the responsible parties, whether it’s the driver, the trucking company, or faulty equipment, to ensure you get the justice you deserve.
Underride and Override Accidents
Underride accidents happen when a smaller vehicle slides beneath a truck’s trailer, while override accidents occur when a truck runs over a smaller vehicle. These are some of the most dangerous types of collisions, often resulting in severe injuries or loss of life. We fight aggressively for victims and their families to hold negligent parties accountable.
Rear-End Collisions
Due to the heavy weight of trucks, rear-end collisions can cause severe damage, especially when the truck strikes a smaller vehicle. Whether the crash was caused by distracted driving, speeding, or a failure to maintain brakes, we investigate every detail to build a strong case for compensation.
Rollover Accidents
Truck rollovers can spill hazardous cargo, block entire roadways, and cause multi-vehicle collisions. These accidents are often the result of excessive speed, sharp turns, or overloaded freight. Our experienced attorneys know how to dig deep into maintenance records and trucking regulations to establish liability.
Accidents Involving Hazardous Materials
Trucks carrying hazardous materials pose unique dangers, including toxic spills, fires, and explosions. These cases require specialized knowledge of both federal and state regulations. We work with experts to ensure that all responsible parties are held accountable for the damage caused.
Cargo-Related Accidents
Improperly loaded or unsecured cargo can shift during transit, leading to rollovers, jackknifing, or debris on the roadway. Whether the negligence lies with the driver, the trucking company, or a third-party loader, we identify the liable parties and fight for your compensation.
Fatigue-Related Accidents
Driver fatigue is a leading cause of truck accidents, often due to violations of Hours-of-Service (HOS) regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). We gather evidence, such as driver logs and black box data, to prove negligence and secure justice for our clients.
Multi-Vehicle Collisions
Truck accidents often lead to chain-reaction crashes, involving multiple vehicles and complex liability issues. Our team conducts thorough investigations to determine fault, ensuring every responsible party—from the truck driver to the trucking company—is held accountable.
Mechanical Failure Accidents
Trucks must undergo regular maintenance to stay roadworthy, but when companies cut corners, mechanical failures like brake malfunctions or tire blowouts can cause catastrophic accidents. We review maintenance records and consult with experts to uncover negligence.
