An Atlanta trucking accident has the potential to cause devastating amounts of injury. For this reason commercial trucks are subject to more laws and regulations than drivers of passenger cars and drivers of trucks must meet higher safety standards. It is a trucking company's responsibility to perform background checks on all drivers and to screen them for health problems or drug and alcohol use that can affect driving. In order to recover damages after an Atlanta trucking accident, it is important to hire a lawyer who has experience in large truck accident claims and is familiar with state and national trucking laws.
