Georgia has a high number of truck accident fatalities reported each year, one of the highest in the nation. In 2016, Georgia was ranked fourth in truck accident fatalities, with only California, Texas and Florida having more deaths reported. On top of fatalities, thousands more are seriously injured each year in preventable truck accidents. If you have lost a loved one or are suffering from injuries caused by a truck accident, you may be eligible to seek damages in a truck accident lawsuit.
Large trucks and buses pose a risk on the roadways. Weighing up to 80,000 pounds, large trucks can cause extreme damage when they are involved in an accident. Drivers and owners of these commercial vehicles are expected to adhere to strict safety standards to prevent accidents on the roadways. When negligence occurs, it can cause serious injury or death to anyone who is in their path.
