Truck Accident Victims Have A Skilled Legal Ally
On any given day, the roads and highways of northwest Georgia can be filled with trucks hauling cargo throughout the state and the country. These big-rig, 18-wheeler trucks can pose danger to other drivers if improperly driven, manufactured, maintained or even loaded.
When a motor vehicle accident occurs involving a truck, it leaves other car drivers in vulnerable positions. A truck accident can be severe and complex, leading to catastrophic injuries and even wrongful death. Negligence often is at the root of truck accidents, and a seasoned and aggressive personal attorney can help you secure the compensation you deserve. Since 1972, Harriss and Hartman Law Firm, P.C., in Rossville, is a local law firm that has represented hundreds of clients throughout the region.
