Atlanta Semi Truck Injury Attorney With Statewide Service
Georgia's metro area interstate system is crammed with tractor-trailer rigs. Many truck drivers are over-tasked: they do not get enough sleep and are required to work too many hours in a row. It's not surprising then that truck driver fatigue is one of the leading causes of truck accidents.
Truck accidents causing severe injury or wrongful death are cases that need a lawyer with experience and know-how. Send a message to the trucking industry that long hours, faulty equipment and other types of negligence are not acceptable.
With more than 30 years of experience, I have seen almost every kind of personal injury case there is. My investigation of your truck accident will be thorough, and I will give you an honest opinion of what I believe our chances of winning a settlement or trial are. Call my Atlanta metro area office at 770-427-2476 or contact me online for a free initial consultation.
Drivers Need To Follow Federal Regulations
Truck drivers have federal and state rules and regulations that govern their driving. For example, truck drivers are not allowed to drive for more than 12 hours in a day. However, many truck drivers disobey the law or they engage in other activities such as helping load the truck during their off-time.
As an Atlanta semi truck injury lawyer, I have extensive knowledge of federal and state regulations. I know the ways in which truckers can be negligent and cause injuries. Common causes of truck accidents include:
- Speeding
- Failure to maintain equipment
- Driver fatigue
- Negligent background checks
- Improperly loaded truck/overloaded truck
- Other noncompliance with commercial trucking regulations
Accidents can occur because of faulty equipment or failure to properly maintain equipment. Drivers can continue driving when they should have stopped for a rest hours ago. Weigh stations cannot be ignored by drivers. In truck accident cases, I will fight to get you the compensation you deserve. You need a Marietta truck accident attorney who will provide you with the personal service you deserve with experience you can trust. In Marietta, Georgia, call James O. Wilson, Jr., at 770-427-2476 or contact my law firm online.
