Georgia Car Accidents
Car accidents remain a significant and troubling issue in both the United States and Georgia, causing devastating consequences for individuals and families. Nationally, there are more than 6 million car accidents annually, leading to injuries for approximately 3 million people and claiming the lives of over 40,000 individuals.
In Georgia, the situation is equally alarming. Each year, the state experiences over 400,000 reported auto collisions, resulting in approximately 150,000 injuries and more than 1,800 fatalities. The tragic reality is that most of these crashes could be prevented. Driver negligence is a leading cause of car wrecks in Georgia and across the country.
Negligent driving takes many forms, but the most common behaviors contributing to accidents include:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Excessive speeding
- Distracted driving, such as texting or phone use
- Driver fatigue and falling asleep at the wheel
Recent data shows that distracted driving alone accounts for nearly 20% of Georgia’s traffic accidents annually while speeding contributes to over 25% of fatal crashes statewide. If you or someone you care about has been injured in a car crash caused by a negligent driver, the aftermath can feel overwhelming.
