Georgia Traffic Accidents

Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable people on the road at any given time. Due to this fact, pedestrian crashes happen often in Georgia and throughout the country. In 2023, over 300 people lost their lives in pedestrian accidents in Georgia. This is a slight decrease from the previous year, where 335 people lost their lives in pedestrian wrecks in the Peach State. Across the United States, over 7,000 people suffer injuries in pedestrian crashes per year. These wrecks are often caused by the actions of negligent drivers. 

Driver negligence has become the main cause of the majority of auto accidents in the state of Georgia and the United States. In Georgia, distracted driving is the main cause of pedestrian crashes today. Throughout the country, distracted driving is also the main cause of most pedestrian crashes that occur. Drivers who are looking at their phones most often cause pedestrian wrecks, as well as regular car crashes.
