Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Atlanta

A tractor-trailer loaded with cargo can tip the scales at more than 80,000 pounds, which is 20 times heavier than the average car or truck. Because of their weight and size, accidents involving trucks can lead to debilitating or fatal injuries for those in smaller vehicles.

  2. INTRODUCTION Truck accidents can be devastating, often resulting in serious injuries and even fatalities. In a bustling city like Atlanta, with its busy highways and crowded streets, truck accidents are unfortunately not uncommon. Understanding the common causes of these accidents can help drivers stay vigilant and hopefully prevent them from happening in the first place.

  3. DISTRACTED DRIVING One of the leading causes of all types of accidents, including truck accidents, is distracted driving. When a truck driver takes their eyes off the road to check their phone, adjust the radio, or eat while driving, they significantly increase the risk of causing an accident. In Atlanta, where traffic can be heavy and unpredictable, distracted driving can have serious consequences.

  4. FATIGUE Truck drivers often have demanding schedules that require long hours on the road. Unfortunately, this can lead to driver fatigue, which impairs judgment and reaction time. Fatigued drivers are more likely to cause accidents due to their reduced ability to focus on the road and make quick decisions. In Atlanta, where traffic congestion is common, tired truck drivers pose a significant risk to other motorists.

  5. SPEEDING Another common cause of truck accidents in Atlanta is speeding. Trucks require more time and distance to come to a stop than smaller vehicles, so when a truck driver is speeding, they may not be able to react quickly enough to avoid a collision. Speeding also reduces a driver’s ability to navigate curves and turns safely, especially on Atlanta’s winding roads.
