Georgia Car Accidents
Hundreds of thousands of Georgia traffic accidents happen per year. On average, approximately 300,000 collisions take place in the state annually. These wrecks occur for many reasons, but the leading cause is currently driver error, which accounts for over 94% of collisions across the United States.
Negligent driving comes in many forms, including intoxication, speeding, distraction, and fatigue. Together, these driver behaviors cause millions of annual accidents. Distraction alone is behind 10% of deadly accidents across the nation, while intoxicated driving causes around 30% of all fatal crashes in the U.S. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, collisions caused by driver negligence tend to be far more devastating than those caused by responsible drivers.
