Georgia Traffic Collisions
Auto accidents are a serious issue in the United States and throughout the state of Georgia. Each year, more than 6 million car crashes are reported across the nation that cause approximately 3 million people to sustain injuries and take the lives of over 40,000 per year. In Georgia, hundreds of thousands of yearly traffic collisions occur.
Regrettably, over 90% of traffic crashes in the US are caused by driver negligence. There are many existing types of negligent driving, however; Some of the most common seen in the United States today include:
- Speeding
- Intoxication
- Exhaustion
- Distraction
For example, over 3,000 people lose their lives per year in crashes caused by distracted drivers, while approximately 11,000 people are killed annually in wrecks resulting from drivers who travel at unsafe speeds.
Suffering injuries in a serious accident is never easy and can turn your life upside down in the blink of an eye.
