Truck Accidents in Georgia
Trucks are the largest vehicles that navigate our roads, which means that they can cause catastrophic harm when they are involved in a serious accident. The unfortunate truth is that truck accidents can typically be prevented but continue to occur every year due to negligent reasons. Truck drivers have to abide by certain rules and regulations but this does not always mean that it will happen. Because truck drivers spend an extended period of time on our roads, they are more likely to drive distracted or fall asleep at the wheel. This means that a serious accident could occur in the blink of an eye. Injured victims are urged to seek the immediate help of an attorney in their time of need.
