Georgia Car Accidents
Georgia experiences a significant number of truck accidents every year, with hundreds of thousands of collisions reported across the state. These incidents often result in severe injuries and, tragically, the loss of lives. In many cases, the overwhelming majority of these devastating accidents are caused by negligent truck drivers. These wrecks are not only preventable but often the result of careless actions behind the wheel.
Negligent driving, particularly by commercial truck drivers, has become a growing concern across the United States, especially in recent years. In fact, over 94% of reported truck accidents are linked to reckless behavior on the part of drivers. Some of the most common forms of negligence in truck accidents include:
- Driving under the influence (DUI)
- Fatigue and exhaustion
- Speeding
- Distraction
In just one recent year, over 12,000 fatalities were attributed to truck drivers speeding on highways. Additionally, more than 3,000 lives are lost annually due to distracted truck drivers failing to pay attention while operating their large vehicles. Truck accidents caused by negligence tend to have catastrophic consequences, not only for the driver at fault but also for everyone involved. Given the size and weight of commercial trucks, the impact of these crashes is often far more devastating than accidents involving smaller vehicles.
