Georgia Auto Collisions
Every year, around 100,000 injury accidents happen in Georgia, leaving tens of thousands of people hurt. In 2022 alone, approximately 1,829 people lost their lives in vehicle crashes throughout the state, marking a 2% increase from the previous year. Sadly, more than 30 people lose their lives each week in severe car accidents in Georgia.
Auto accidents are unfortunately common, and driver negligence is a major factor. In fact, 4 out of 5 car accidents in the U.S. are caused by negligence. In Georgia, the leading cause of crashes is drivers failing to use turn signals, which is one form of negligence. Other common causes include speeding, driving under the influence, distracted driving, and fatigue.
