Georgia Car Wrecks
Car wrecks have become one of the main reasons American citizens sustain serious injuries or lose their lives. On average, more than 3 million people are hurt per year due to car wrecks that occur in the US. Sadly, over 40,000 individuals lose their lives yearly in collisions. In Georgia alone, more than 1,500 people die yearly in more than 300,000 auto accidents.
Unfortunately, over 90% of car accidents in the United States are caused by negligent driving, according to information provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Some of the most prevalent types of negligent driving include intoxication, distraction, speeding, and fatigue. In one recent year, approximately 400,000 car crashes happened caused by drivers who were distracted while behind the wheel.
Suffering injuries in an auto collision is never easy and can land you in the hospital with painful and even debilitating injuries. You may be unable to work or see your loved ones as much as you are used to, which can be overwhelming, stressful, and depressing.
