The Dangers of Atlanta’s Highways
Unfortunately, deadly and severe truck accidents can occur almost anywhere. However, in the greater Atlanta metro area, motorists on some stretches of highway seem to be at higher risk of becoming injured or killed in car or truck accidents, based on accident and fatality statistics.
Some of the intersections or interchanges with the highest instances of injury accidents and fatalities include the Cumberland Mall Interchange (the Cobb Cloverleaf)/Galleria Exit at I-75 and I-285, the Piedmont and Pharr Intersection, the West Ponce Bridge/Old Decatur Bridge (also known as the Low Bridge at Ponce and Artwood Road), the Town Lake Parkway Exit/Woodstock Exit at I-575 and Exit 8, and the North Connector Split (I-75 and I-85 North Split.)
There are several reasons for the higher incidence of accidents in these areas, including trucks frequently turning or merging, ultimately blocking visibility for other motorists. High congestion in these areas, sometimes-confusing lane markers and HOV lane signage, and sudden braking because of merging or exiting traffic or because of law enforcement patrols can also have catastrophic consequences for drivers.
Semi-truck accidents can be devastating, leaving victims with long-lasting and life-changing injuries. A skilled rollover truck accident lawyer will understand where to find, and how to gather, evidence to support a victim’s claim for damages.

Common Injuries in Rollover Truck Accidents
Rollover crashes in Georgia can cause severe, life-threatening injuries and fatalities. Not only is the driver at risk of danger, but others who may be on the roadway are also likely to be affected. Crushing injuries may lead to internal organ damage, amputations, broken bones, a severed spinal cord, traumatic brain injury, or even death.
While no amount of compensation can reverse time and prevent the accident from occurring in the first place, victims may be entitled to hold one or more parties liable for their injuries. An experienced Georgia rollover truck accident lawyer can review the situation, examine evidence, discuss the wreck with witnesses, and investigate the condition of the truck to determine who is accountable. For instance, any one or more of the following parties may be required to pay compensation to the victims:
- Driver of the truck due to negligence
- Owner of the cargo or goods
- Owner of the semi-truck
- Government entities responsible for road conditions
- Manufacturer of the truck’s parts if it is determined that a defective design feature caused the accident
- Mechanic responsible for maintaining and inspecting the vehicle
- Trucking company due to unrealistic expectations or responsibility for the driver’s actions

My attorney, David Van Sant and his law firm were outstanding in handling my personal injury case. I was out of work for a considerable amount of time due to an automobile accident and Mr. Van Sant and his entire team were always kind, professional, knowledgeable and especially available. This law firm did their absolute best to answer and return calls and at no time did I ever feel like just a number or stranger. My experience with Mr. Van Sant and his law firm (from beginning to end), were very positive as well as favorable.
