Truck Accidents in Georgia
Tractor-trailers are known for being some of the largest vehicles on Georgia roads, which means that they cause some of the most catastrophic damage in the event of an accident. In just one recent year’s time, over 110,000 serious injuries resulted from truck accidents in the entirety of the U.S. This means that many of these accidents take place in Georgia each year, even though they can be prevented. If you have sustained immense harm as a result of a truck crash, you should have a legal advocate on your side.

These accidents do not happen as commonly as other accidents on our roads but, when they do occur, they lead to some of the most significant harm. Truck drivers spend an extended period of time on our roads, which means that they are likely to drive distracted or even fall asleep at the wheel.
