Atlanta Truck Accident Lawyers Report Alarming Fatigue Statistics as Holiday Travel Season Begins

ATLANTA, GA - January 01, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Amircani Law is highlighting critical safety concerns for Atlanta drivers as the holiday travel season approaches, citing data showing driver fatigue contributes to 30% to 40% of all large truck accidents nationwide. The truck accident lawyer at Amircani Law notes that Georgia recorded its highest-ever truck crash count in 2023 with 50,344 accidents and 257 fatalities, representing a 157% increase from 19,555 crashes in 2013.
The statistics come as Atlanta prepares for increased traffic volume during the Thanksgiving and year-end holiday periods. Atlanta's major interstate corridors continue to experience high concentrations of commercial vehicle accidents, with I-285 recording over 380 commercial truck crashes annually, I-85 accounting for approximately 285 truck accidents per year, and I-20 seeing roughly 215 commercial truck accidents annually. The firm emphasizes that Atlanta metro region statistics show approximately 85 reported truck accidents in 2023, with 60 resulting in serious injuries and 10 proving fatal.

Amircani Law has represented injury victims in Atlanta since its founding in 2013. The firm's attorneys handle truck accident cases, car accident claims, motorcycle accident litigation, and pedestrian injury matters throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. The practice has recovered more than $25,000,000 in compensation for clients over its twelve-year history.
"Driver fatigue remains one of the most dangerous factors on Atlanta's highways, particularly during high-traffic holiday periods when commercial delivery demands intensify," said Maha Amircani, Managing Attorney at Amircani Law. "Research from the National Transportation Safety Board indicates that being awake for 18 hours impairs driving ability equivalent to a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08%, yet more than 65 percent of truck drivers report driving while drowsy or fatigued. Atlanta motorists need to understand these risks as they share the road with commercial vehicles during the busiest travel season of the year."
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration data shows that fatigue plays a role in approximately 13% of large truck crashes nationwide. The agency's Hours of Service regulations limit truck drivers to 11 hours of driving following 10 consecutive hours off duty, with a maximum 14-hour work window and a required 30-minute break within the first eight hours. Despite these regulations, accident risk doubles between 8 to 10 hours of driving and doubles again between 10 to 11 hours, according to transportation safety research.
Atlanta's position as a major Southeast transportation hub contributes to heavy commercial vehicle presence on local roadways. The metro area handles over 11 million commercial truck trips annually, creating significant interaction between passenger vehicles and commercial trucks on highways designed decades ago for lower traffic volumes. The Downtown Connector, where I-75 and I-85 merge, experiences 178 truck accidents annually despite its 7.5-mile length, with 40% of all crashes on this corridor involving commercial trucks. Georgia ranked fourth nationally in truck accident fatalities with 244 deaths in 2021.
The severity of the accidents reflects the dramatic weight disparity between commercial vehicles and passenger cars. A fully loaded 18-wheeler weighs approximately 80,000 pounds compared to an average passenger vehicle's weight of 4,000 pounds. Statistics indicate that 82% of fatalities in truck accidents involve occupants of other vehicles rather than the commercial truck operator. The average cost of an injury-causing truck accident reaches $148,279, while fatal truck accidents average $7.2 million in total costs.

Victims of truck accidents involving driver fatigue or other violations face complex legal proceedings that often involve multiple potentially liable parties, including drivers, trucking companies, vehicle leasing firms, and maintenance contractors. Cases require understanding both Georgia negligence law and federal transportation regulations. The firm operates on a contingency fee basis with no upfront costs to clients, providing initial consultations to discuss accident circumstances and potential claims.
