Truck-Related Crashes on Georgia Highways
Accidents involving 18-wheelers are among the most dangerous events on Georgia highways, particularly in high-traffic corridors such as I-75. The sheer size and weight of commercial trucks increase the likelihood of severe injuries or fatalities when a collision occurs. In Thursday’s crash near Delk Rd SE in Marietta, the involvement of an SUV adds to the concern, as passenger vehicles typically fare worse in these types of incidents.
According to data from the Georgia Department of Transportation, large truck accidents have been rising in recent years, with factors such as fatigue, mechanical issues, and poor road conditions contributing to the trend. For victims, the aftermath often includes complex legal and insurance processes due to the involvement of commercial entities.
If you are involved in a crash with a commercial vehicle, it’s critical to seek immediate medical evaluation and preserve all documentation related to the incident. Legal and financial recovery can hinge on having a clear record of events and injuries.
