Truck Accidents in Georgia
Because tractor-trailers are some of the largest vehicles on our roads, this means that they are capable of causing some of the most catastrophic harm when it comes to accidents. Truck accidents tend to be incredibly severe and life-altering in nature. In just one recent year’s time in the entire U.S., over 110,000 truck accidents occurred due to the recklessness of others, with a large percentage of these accidents happening within the state. These accidents happen in the blink of an eye due to many different reasons. Because truck drivers spend a long time on our roads, they are more likely to become distracted or fall asleep at the wheel. If you have been injured in a truck crash and wonder where you can turn, you should have the dedicated help of an attorney on your side.
