Truck Accident Results In Death of Georgia Man

As a Georgia injury lawyer for over 20 years, I have represented the dependants of many workers who have died as a result of on-the-job accidents. These Georgia workers compensation claims for death benefits arise from every imaginable type of industrial accident. As an example, I read that a Macon, Georgia man died in a gravel truck accident that occurred on Monday afternoon in Dodge County. The man was reportedly unloading gravel for road construction on Georgia Highway 117. According to Georgia State Patrol, the dump truck trailer was parked on a slope and apparently fell over on him. There were apparently no witnesses to the accident; however, a customer at a nearby store noticed the overturned truck which led to the discovery of the worker’s body. If the deceased worker had dependants they may be entitled to benefits which are available under the Georgia Workers Compensation Act.
