Savannah Trucking Accident Lawyers
Effective Legal Representation for the Injured in Chatham County, GA
Savannah and Chatham County experience significant commercial truck traffic due to their strategic location and industrial activities. The Port of Savannah, one of the busiest ports nationwide, contributes to the area’s high volume of freight movement.
Trucking accidents are common in the area and can result from many issues, including truck driver negligence, fatigue, or insufficient training. Due to commercial trucks’ sheer size and weight compared to standard vehicles, these collisions pose significant risks to passenger car occupants.
According to data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), in truck accidents involving a large truck and a passenger car, car occupants face a significantly higher risk of injury or death than the truck driver. Approximately 68% of fatalities in these types of crashes are passenger car occupants, while only 16% are truck occupants.
Large trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, making collisions with smaller cars especially catastrophic. The disparity in size often results in severe injuries or fatalities for those in passenger vehicles.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Savannah
Truck accidents are influenced by factors such as high speeds on major highways, long driving times, and challenging road conditions. Trucks also have larger blind spots and require longer distances to stop, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
Common causes of trucking accidents include:
- Truck driver fatigue/driving long hours/trucker logbook violations
- Improper equipment
- Improperly loaded trucks/cargo violations
- Truck driver impairment, including DUI
- Mechanical failures
- Improper truck maintenance
- Improper truck driver training
These must be investigated in any truck accident claim to determine liability. Liability must be proven to seek compensation for all damages and losses resulting from the accident.
