Truck Equipment Maintenance
Atlanta Trucking Negligence Lawsuits
Like any other vehicle or piece of machinery, a truck requires maintenance to run properly and safely. Neglecting the maintenance of a tractor-trailer can result in a serious accident. It is the responsibility of trucking companies and independent truckers to maintain their vehicles, according to Georgia laws. Failure to do so could be considered negligence and make them liable in a truck accident lawsuit.

Trucking Equipment Maintenance
A poorly maintained truck could face issues such as tire blowouts, brake failure, and poor visibility to other vehicles. In addition to requiring maintenance for these vehicles, the state of Georgia also requires that trucking companies and independent haulers keep maintenance records to prove their compliance with the regulations. Too often these records show that trucking equipment has undergone inadequate maintenance, which can be grounds for a lawsuit against the negligent trucking company.
