Georgia Car Crashes
Car accidents are a common occurrence in Georgia and across the United States. Every year, over 6 million car crashes are reported nationwide, leading to injuries for more than 3 million individuals and resulting in approximately 40,000 fatalities. In Georgia alone, more than 400,000 auto accidents happen annually, with 150,000 people sustaining injuries and an average of 1,500 lives lost each year.
These statistics serve as a stark reminder of how dangerous road accidents can be in the U.S. Tragically, negligence is responsible for the vast majority of these collisions—over 92% of traffic accidents involve the actions of careless drivers. These reckless behaviors come in many forms, including driving under the influence, distracted driving, fatigued driving, and speeding. For instance, speeding alone is responsible for more than 11,000 deaths every year.
Being involved in an auto accident can be a life-altering and traumatic experience.
