Georgia Car Wrecks
Traffic accidents in Georgia and throughout the United States happen all too frequently. Every day, over 17,000 auto collisions are reported across the nation. About 7,500 people suffer injuries in these collisions and over 100 end up losing their lives. In Georgia alone, over 1,000 auto collisions are reported daily, hundreds of which end in injuries.
Negligent driving is behind 9 out of 10 auto accidents in the United States. At this time, the leading cause of Georgia traffic accidents is distracted driving, which is behind over 13% of American car accidents today. Some other common forms of driver negligence seen on American roadways include intoxication, fatigue, and speeding.
Being seriously injured in an accident of any kind can be a very disruptive, frightening, confusing, and overwhelming time in a person’s life. Make sure that if you are injured in an accident that was not your fault you don’t have to fight the insurance companies on your own.
