Georgia Auto Accidents
Auto accidents have become one of the main reasons people in the United States end up with serious or even fatal injuries. Most of these accidents cause injuries and fatalities, according to several different statistical sources. In Georgia, the main cause of auto collisions is currently negligent driving, contributing to more than 94% of all accidents. Driver negligence has become a serious problem across the country, especially in the past decade. Car wrecks caused by reckless drivers are often much more dangerous and devastating than those that occur for other reasons due to drivers being distracted, fatigued, intoxicated, or speeding.
Unfortunately, most accidents that happen in the US and the state of Georgia are preventable. Negligent driving ends the lives of thousands yearly and injures even more. Distracted driving alone contributes to millions of yearly accidents, accounting for approximately 10% of all fatal auto accidents. Additionally, intoxicated driving is behind approximately 30% of all deadly accidents, while fatigued driving is behind over 1,500 fatalities per year.
