Vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death and 1 million Americans spend more than 1 million days in the hospital each year from crash-related injuries (CDC, 2014).

The devastation is made more tragic with the realization that almost all vehicle wrecks are preventable. As we drive our Georgia streets and highways to school, work, and travel we find ourselves in danger from drunk drivers, careless truckers, distracted drivers and poorly maintained or >improperly engineered roads.

There are more drivers than ever on our roads, leading to increased risk for us all. Additionally, the dangers increase even more the greater number of hours we spend behind the wheel. The average commute time in Georgia continues to increase (+25% since 1960) and the number of Georgia workers who commute beyond their county of residence has doubled.

With more drivers spending an ever increasing amount of time driving Georgia’s roads, the dangers posed to drivers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians can result in debilitating injury or death. The Mann Law Firm helps Macon and Middle Georgia residents who have been injured in vehicle accidents.

AUTO ACCIDENTS IN GEORGIA

Macon GA Vehicle accident lawyerAutomobiles are a fact of life in Georgia and the U.S. and, unfortunately, so are automobile crashes that injure and kill drivers, passengers and pedestrians. The law in Georgia and other states recognizes that if a driver is at fault in a car crash that has resulted in injury or death, the innocent parties who have been hurt deserve to be made whole financially.

Tractor Trailer Crashes

Georgia Trucking AccidentsTractor Trailer crashes are much more complex than car accident cases. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) ranks Georgia 5th in the nation in number of fatal commercial motor vehicle accidents. A 10,000-pound 18-wheeler traveling at 70 miles per hour does terrible damage if it collides with a passenger car going 55 mph. The complexity of a commercial truck accident and the number of well-defended parties likely to be involved makes it crucial to obtain legal help after a truck wreck from an experienced truck accident lawyer like those at the Mann Law Firm.
