Georgia Car Crashes
The state of Georgia sees a significant number of traffic accidents per year. In fact, it is listed in the top five states with the most auto accidents per year in the US. On average, the state sees more than 400,000 vehicle collisions annually that injure hundreds of thousands and take the lives of thousands more.
In the United States, four out of five reported auto accidents happen because of negligent driving. Driver negligence can be displayed in countless ways, but in the US, individuals often operate their vehicles while distracted, intoxicated, fatigued, or speeding.
Car crashes caused by the actions of negligent drivers almost always cause injuries or fatalities. Negligent driving crashes are much more dangerous and fatal due to drivers who are not paying attention, operating their vehicles with impaired judgment, and more.
