Georgia Commercial Truck Accidents
Commercial truck accidents can be catastrophic in comparison to other types of automobile accidents. Because heavy trucks can weigh over ten times more than your average vehicle, the damage from a commercial truck can be devastating. Trucks are not able to stop or maneuver the same as a typical car, which is why truck drivers should be specially trained to handle their vehicles in different situations. Unfortunately, due to the high demands placed on commercial truck drivers, they are often fatigued and not able to drive to their full capacity in terms of safety.
If you have been injured in a commercial truck accident, you need a trained professional by your side to deal with the insurance companies and lawyers associated with the commercial truck’s firm. Contact Franklin Law today for a free, no obligation consultation and let Rebecca Franklin Harris assist you in getting the maximum compensation allowed by the law for your case.
Commercial trucks have numerous attorneys and insurance companies that do not want to pay out compensation for their company driver’s negligence.

You need a professional on your side who understands the law, especially surrounding commercial truck negligence in auto-related accidents.
