Truck Accidents in Georgia
Because tractor-trailers are some of the largest vehicles on our roads, they are capable of causing some of the most catastrophic harm in the event of an accident. In just one recent year’s time in the U.S., approximately 110,000 people were seriously injured in truck accidents throughout the state. These accidents happen in the blink of an eye due to a variety of reasons. Because truck drivers spend long periods of time on our roads, they are more likely to speed or drive distracted.
