Georgia Car Accidents
Each year, Georgia reports over 300,000 traffic accidents, leaving approximately 150,000 people injured and claiming more than 1,500 lives. According to the Governor’s Highway Safety Association, most of these crashes are caused by driver distraction, speeding, and intoxication—all of which are preventable.
Among these risks, distracted driving remains one of the leading causes of crashes. Texting behind the wheel is particularly dangerous—taking your eyes off the road for just five seconds at 55 mph is equivalent to driving the length of a football field blindfolded. Across the U.S., over 400,000 crashes occur every year due to distracted driving alone.
Speeding and impaired driving also play a devastating role in roadway fatalities. More than 11,000 deaths occur annually due to excessive speed, while intoxicated driving claims around 12,000 lives each year. Additionally, fatigued drivers contribute to over 1,500 fatal crashes annually.
