Truck Accidents in Georgia
Due to the fact that tractor-trailers are some of the largest vehicles on our roads, they are capable of causing some of the most extensive harm in the event of an accident. In just one recent year’s time in the U.S., over 110,000 injuries stemmed from truck accidents, though many of these collisions can be prevented. Because truck drivers spend long periods of time on our roads, they are more likely to engage in speeding or distracted driving, which can lead to serious collisions. If you have been harmed in an accident that is not your fault, you should always be prepared to speak with an attorney who can help you every step of the way.
