Trucking Accidents | Bringing a Negligence Claim Against a Truck Driver or Trucking Company

Negligence is the typical cause of trucking accidents in Atlanta, GA. Generally, negligence holds a person responsible for foreseeable harm caused to others as a result of their carelessness. Truck accident cases often include multiple claims against several defendants. Typically these cases involve state and federal laws regulating the trucking industry and its drivers. The trucking company may be sued for the negligent hiring, supervision, and training of its employee.

Succeeding In a Trucking Accident Case In Georgia

To succeed in a negligence claim, you must prove that the defendant owed a duty of care and that the defendant breached this duty of care. Additionally, you must prove that the defendant’s actions caused your injuries. Finally, you must show that you suffered damages due to the trucking accident.

For a truck driver to operate legally, they must act as a reasonably prudent person would act. Also, truck drivers must avoid foreseeable harm to others. Therefore, if they fail to meet this standard, they have breached their duty. The element of causation requires you to show that the accident would not have occurred if the defendant had not acted as they did. It also requires you to show that the harm was reasonably foreseeable. Typically, damages include past and future medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and out-of-pocket costs.
