Tractor trailers kill and injure tens of thousands of people each year. About 5,000 of these injuries are fatal. Truck accidents kill hundreds of Georgia residents every year.

If an 18-wheeler traveling at highway speed collides with another vehicle, the sheer weight of the 18-wheeler can cause death or incapacitating injury more than 50 percent of the time usually to those in the other vehicle.

Truck accidents are different. Generally there is more than one injured victim.
Truck accident claim lawsuits are complex and requires expertise and special skills. The truck accident lawyers at The Burnside Law Firm have the expertise and skill required to get victims of truck accidents the compensation they deserve. We have in-depth kledge of trucks, the trucking industry and the unique insurance issues involved.

Detailed Investigation Is Vital to Your Case!

The Department of Transportation estimates that:

  • one in six truck drivers are fatigued and often exceed federal limits on driving without rest.
  • 30 percent of tractor-trailers involved in crashes had worn or improperly adjusted brakes.

There can be many causes of a truck accident. Only a proper investigation will reveal the exact cause of the accident including driver error or negligence, poor maintenance, drunk truck driver and even bad road conditions, construction detours, obstructed views, road defects and other external factors.
