Tractor Trailer Accidents and Driver Fatigue

Georgia citizens continue to suffer serious injuries and death in ever increasing numbers on a stretch of Interstate 85 near Newnan, Georgia. Most of these accidents involve tractor-trailers. According to authorities today, one person was killed and another person seriously injured on Monday afternoon in an accident on the northbound side of Interstate 85. Shortly after the initial fatal accident, a second major accident with injuries occurred when a northbound tractor-trailer rear-ended another that had stopped for the first wreck. Many of these accidents have occurred as a result of dangerous conditions existing upon the roadway which has been under construction for at least the last two years. The Georgia injury lawyers at Finch McCranie, LLP currently represent the family of an individual in a wrongful death case that resulted from vehicles hydroplaning on that stretch of road. The three most common reasons for hydroplaning are speed, condition of tires and excessive water on the roadway.
