An Atlanta Dump Truck Accident Lawyer is Ready to Listen
The size and weight of a dump truck are double that of a passenger vehicle. The extra weight can make even seemingly harmless fender benders into serious car accidents with resulting injuries that impact your life, finances, and overall well-being. If the dump truck driver was negligent in the operation of their vehicle, or it was poorly maintained or malfunctioned, the dump truck driver’s employer will typically be liable for your damages after an accident. At Mabra Law, part of our role as your Atlanta dump truck accident lawyer is to identify these points of negligence and build a case on your behalf so you can recover from your accident and not worry about ongoing medical bills or a lost job.

Common Ways Dump Truck Accidents Happen
You may not know whether or not the driver of the truck that caused your accident is negligent and that’s okay. It’s our job as your legal team to determine who is negligent and how. Some of the most common types of dump truck negligence include:
- Driver error - The truck driver or their employer may be liable for speeding, drowsiness, or distracted driving.
- Mechanical failures - The manufacturer of parts or maintenance companies may be held liable for the failure of tires, brakes, or the hydraulic systems that lift and lower dump beds.
- Improper loading - Dump trucks have a safe loading capacity that should not be exceeded. If it was the driver or their employer, they may be liable for your accident.
- Untrained or inexperienced drivers - Driving a dump truck requires training. These vehicles are heavy machinery. If the operator was not trained properly, you may have a claim against the employer or the construction and industrial training company.
