Fatal Truck Accidents in Georgia
Truck accidents occur across the country every year, causing tens of thousands of injuries. In Georgia, commercial vehicle accidents often result in severe injuries to people. It is unfortunate that many individuals end up losing their lives in these accidents.
The majority of fatal truck accidents occur as a result of negligence. Excessive speed during a turn is one of the main causes of these accidents. The weight of the cargo can cause the truck to tip over when it exceeds a safe speed and attempts a sharp turn. Moreover, truck drivers often swerve abruptly between lanes in an effort to avoid a fatal truck accident.
A poorly maintained road can also contribute to fatal truck accidents. Potholes, debris on the road, and other defects can cause fatal accidents that claim the lives of innocent people. Unfortunately, switching lanes in a reckless manner, impairment, distractions, or other leading causes of these fatal collisions.
