Trucking companies are often at fault
According to the Department of Transportation (DOT), truck drivers often operate their vehicles on little sleep because of pressure from employers to increase their efficiency. The DOT also found that many tractor trailers involved in crashes have worn or improperly adjusted brakes, insufficient tires, or malfunctioning signals. These and other maintenance issues can contribute significantly to a crash.
In addition to thoroughly investigating the background and driving record of the trucker and the standard practices of the company, our trucking accident attorneys in Atlanta evaluate the road conditions that may have led to a crash. City or state maintenance departments may be just as liable if there are external factors that caused a crash.
