    Georgia Injury Attorneys (Home) / GA Truck Accident Attorneys / Strong Advocacy After a Jackknifing Accident

    While a truck jackknifing is normally associated with traffic jams, an out-of-control trailer can cause serious injuries and death. Failing to safely operate a truck by a driver who is inattentive, impaired or pressured to “make good time” can cause catastrophic accidents on the highways and freeways of Georgia.

    What factors caused your accident?

    A truck accident caused by jackknifing occurs when the trailer connected to a truck swings out and stops at a 90-degree angle. This could have happened because the driver:

    • Operated the truck under the influence of drugs or alcohol
    • Braked too fast
    • Drove excessively over the speed limit
    • Downshifted too quickly
    • Failed to slow down before a curve

    Using our experience to make your claim

    The attorneys at Westmoreland, Patterson, Moseley & Hinson, L.L.P., combine over 200 years of experience in truck accident litigation coupled with a track record of multimillion-dollar results.
