Georgia ranks number four in the nation for fatal trucking accidents. That includes highway crashes with semi’s, 18-wheelers, tractor trailers and other large commercial vehicles. When these tractor trailer accidents occur, passenger vehicles generally don’t stand a chance. Tractor trailer crashes often involve fully loaded trucks approaching weights of 80,000 pounds colliding with a passenger vehicle of approximately 4,000 pounds. The results are often deadly.
Trucking companies are prepared for tractor trailer crashes, with teams of adjustors, investigators and “experts”. The problem is, their goal is singular—proving innocence on the part of their driver and company, while demonstrating negligence on the part of the passenger vehicle. These companies are skilled at negotiating the best deals for their companies and drivers— showing up at the scene of a trucking accident, pressuring vulnerable victims to make statements that can be often be used against them, and offering quick and inadequate settlements.
