Truck Accidents in Georgia
Trucks are some of the largest vehicles on our roads, which means that they are capable of causing catastrophic harm to others on our roads. In just one recent year’s time in the U.S., approximately 110,000 people were seriously injured as a result of truck accidents due to the negligence of others. Truck drivers are some of the safest drivers on our roads but this does not mean that these accidents never occur on our roads.
