At Ashby Thelen Lowry, our Atlanta personal injury attorneys represent individuals and families who have been seriously harmed in collisions involving concrete or cement mixer trucks throughout Georgia. These types of crashes are often devastating due to the size, weight, and instability of these vehicles. Concrete trucks are hazardous in congested metro areas like Atlanta, where narrow streets and busy intersections increase risks for other motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
Our firm is dedicated to helping victims of concrete truck collisions pursue justice, rebuild their lives, and secure the necessary resources to move forward, starting with a free consultation.
Concrete mixer trucks are not like other commercial vehicles. Their design and purpose create unique safety challenges, including high centers of gravity and rotating drums filled with shifting cargo. When loaded, these trucks can weigh over 70,000 pounds, making them significantly more dangerous in a collision with a smaller vehicle or vulnerable road user. The risk of rollover is much higher than in other trucks, especially when navigating sharp turns or stopping suddenly.
In metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, these collisions often result in severe injuries or fatalities. Traffic congestion, frequent construction projects, and tight delivery schedules increase the likelihood of serious harm when something goes wrong.
Concrete truck crashes can result from various factors. These vehicles are often poorly maintained or operated, putting others at risk. Understanding the causes is essential to determining liability and building a successful claim.
Some of the most common causes include:
Our attorneys investigate every potential contributing factor. We collaborate with experts to review vehicle logs, maintenance records, and driver histories to determine how negligence may have contributed to the incident.
Collisions involving concrete trucks often result in life-altering consequences. These are not minor events. Victims may face years of medical treatment, permanent disabilities, and emotional trauma that can change every aspect of their daily lives. Recovery is often a long, painful, and expensive process.
Common injuries include:
In the most tragic cases, these crashes result in death, leaving grieving families with overwhelming loss and financial burdens. Our goal is to make sure clients do not face these challenges alone.
Building a strong case after a concrete truck collision requires immediate action and a detailed investigation. These claims are often complex, involving multiple potentially liable parties such as the truck driver, their employer, maintenance contractors, or even the vehicle manufacturer.
Our approach includes:
We prepare each case for trial, even if it settles beforehand, because the strength of your claim depends on the depth and diligence of the preparation behind it.
When a person is injured in a collision with a concrete truck, Georgia law allows them to pursue financial compensation for immediate and long-term damages. This support can make a critical difference in your recovery and stability.
Potential compensation may include:
Our team will carefully calculate your damages and fight for every dollar you are entitled to under the law.
