Fault has yet to be determined in this fatal van accident, but the Georgia State Patrol is looking into potential causes of the van accident. The van was transporting 8 adults from the InCommunity center back to their families when they crashed into the semi-truck. InCommunity and the families of those in the accident expressed their grief and desire to know the cause of the truck accident.

Rear-end collisions are extremely common, with millions reported every year. However, it is more likely for fatalities to occur when a rear-end collision occurs with a semi-truck. Due to the sheer size and weight of semi-trucks, injuries and fatalities tend to be more common in rear-end truck accidents.

Therefore, it is important to retain an experienced semi-truck accident attorney following a crash. If you or a loved one was involved in a rear-end truck or van accident, do not hesitate to call our seasoned van accident attorneys so that we can fight for the compensation you deserve.
