One of the most common causes of injury and death in the United States involves automobile accidents<\/a>. Perhaps the most dangerous types of auto crashes are those that involve 18-wheelers. Tractor trailers are much larger and heavier than cars, trucks, and SUVs on Georgia highways. The sheer capacity of big rigs makes it much more difficult to control these large vehicles.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month there was an accident near Gainesville, Georgia in which a tractor trailer was involved. At around 12:45 A.M. on Friday, July 12th, a tractor trailer is believed to have struck a Ford F-150 while traveling south on Highway 365 in Hall County. The pickup truck was pushed approximately 400 feet by the 18 wheeler. In total, three people lost their lives in this Georgia tractor trailer crash. The devastating accident also injured five more, including children.<\/p>\n

When a Georgia tractor trailer accident<\/a> occurs, a variety of types of injuries<\/a> may be sustained by those involved. These injuries may include something as simple as cuts and bruises or whiplash, but 18 wheeler wrecks can also cause broken bones and injuries to one’s back, head, brain, or spinal cord. More often than not, scarring occurs from these significant injuries. In severe cases, victims have lost limbs. In the worst case scenario, Georgians can lose their lives when involved in a crash with a big rig<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you have been involved in a metro-Atlanta tractor trailer accident<\/a>, you may be entitled to damages. If the accident was caused by the tractor trailer driver’s negligence, manufacturer error within the 18-wheeler, or improper maintenance of the truck, you should contact an experienced Marietta trucking attorney today.<\/p>\n

Because corporations are often the owners of these 18-wheelers, it is important to hire an Atlanta accident attorney to represent you as soon as possible. These companies have experience in these types of personal injury and wrongful death claims<\/a>, but a well-educated 18 wheeler accident attorney knows how to handle the claim. An exhaustive investigation of the incident must be performed as soon after the crash as possible in an effort to preserve evidence.<\/p>\n
