Introduction
Truck accidents are some of the most catastrophic crashes on Georgia highways. With their size, weight, and commercial use, large trucks—like 18-wheelers and semi-trailers—can cause devastating injuries or fatalities in an instant. At Singh Toro Law, we help victims of truck accidents navigate these complex legal cases and hold negligent companies accountable for the harm they’ve caused.
Why Truck Accidents Are Legally Different
Truck accident claims are more complex than typical car accidents because:
- Multiple parties may be liable (driver, trucking company, maintenance crews, cargo loaders)
- Federal trucking regulations apply, including FMCSA rules
- Commercial insurance policies often carry higher limits and tougher opposition
- Trucking companies often begin defense immediately after a crash
Our legal team is equipped to respond with speed and strategy to preserve evidence and build your case.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Georgia
- Driver fatigue (violations of hours-of-service limits)
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Speeding or reckless maneuvers
- Improperly secured cargo or overloading
- Poor truck maintenance or equipment failure
- Inexperienced or undertrained drivers
Injuries Often Seen in Trucking Accidents
Due to the massive force of these crashes, victims often suffer:
- Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Complex bone fractures
- Wrongful death
These injuries demand extensive medical treatment and long-term financial support.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident?
Unlike car accidents, truck crash liability often extends beyond the driver:
- Truck driver (negligent operation, fatigue, DUI)
- Trucking company (negligent hiring, poor safety policies)
- Vehicle manufacturer (defective brakes, tires, etc.)
- Cargo loading company (unbalanced or unsecured cargo)
- Maintenance provider (negligent inspections or repairs)
We conduct a full investigation to identify every liable party and maximize your recovery.
Georgia and Federal Trucking Regulations
Many truck accident cases involve violations of:
- Hours-of-Service (HOS) rules
- Vehicle inspection and maintenance standards
- Driver qualification and training requirements
- Weight and load limits
Our firm reviews electronic logging devices (ELDs), black box data, and maintenance records to uncover violations that support your claim.

Truck accident victims in Georgia may be entitled to:
- Medical bills (past, current, and future)
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
