Georgia Car Crashes
Georgia sees a large number of auto collisions per year, with more than 300,000 auto collisions reported annually. These wrecks cause over 150,000 people to sustain injuries, and, tragically, thousands of lives are lost. Unfortunately, more than 90% of reported auto accidents in the US and throughout the Peach State are preventable and caused by negligent drivers.
Negligent driving has become a critical concern across the United States, particularly in recent years. Research indicates that over 94% of reported traffic accidents are linked to driver negligence. Common forms of negligent driving include:
- Intoxication
- Distraction
- Fatigue
- Speeding
In one year alone, unsafe speeds contributed to the deaths of over 12,000 people on U.S. roadways, while distracted driving was responsible for more than 400,000 collisions. Accidents caused by negligent driving tend to be more severe, underscoring the importance of staying alert and sober behind the wheel.
