Why fatal truck accidents happen
Fatal accidents with an 18-wheeler, tractor trailer, or another type of large truck happen for many different reasons. The chances of a crash being fatal increase in a semi-truck accident or other type of big rig crash because trucks are so much larger and heavier than typical passenger vehicles.
A truck’s size and weight amplify bodily injuries; It’s one reason why truckers are held to a higher standard than noncommercial drivers. However, not all truckers follow the rules. Even when they do, poor vehicle maintenance or a defective part could lead to a deadly accident. Some of the most common causes of fatal truck accidents include:
- Distracted truck drivers
- Tired truck drivers falling asleep at the wheel
- Speeding truck drivers
- Impaired truck drivers (including drivers on drugs or alcohol)
- Poorly maintained trucks
- Truck mechanical problems
- Inexperienced truck drivers
- Missing or deteriorated underride guards

The key to a successful wrongful death claim after a fatal truck accident in Georgia is proving that the truck driver or trucking company was responsible for your loved one's death. That might sound simple. But gathering hard evidence can often be very complicated. Trucking companies sometimes don't cooperate. The truck driver might deny doing anything wrong. And insurance companies often raise objections throughout the claim's process.
