Truck Accidents in Georgia
Large tractor-trailers hit the road every day in the state of Georgia, traveling hundreds of miles to their destinations. We see a large percentage of trucks in Georgia every year. However, with large trucks come serious accidents as well. In just one recent year in the entirety of the U.S., over 110,000 people sustained severe injuries as a result of these horrific accidents. Truck drivers and companies are expected to be as safe as possible on our roads so that truck accidents can be prevented but this does not always happen. If you have been injured in a truck accident that is not your fault, you have a variety of options. It is crucial that you speak with an attorney that you can trust.
If somebody else has caused your truck accident, you have the right to recover compensation. This is why it is crucial that you speak with a Morrow truck accident lawyer who has your best interests in mind. Severe and even catastrophic injuries tend to stem from truck accidents, including some of the following:
- Spinal cord injuries
