Georgia Car Accidents
Georgia experiences a high volume of traffic accidents each year, with over 300,000 crashes reported statewide. These incidents result in injuries for more than 150,000 individuals, and tragically, thousands lose their lives. The majority of these accidents could have been avoided, as they are often caused by careless driving.
Driver negligence is a growing issue nationwide, with research indicating that over 94% of traffic collisions stem from some form of driver error. Common types of negligent driving include:
- Operating a vehicle under the influence
- Distracted driving, such as texting or using a phone
- Driving while fatigued
- Excessive speeding
In a single year, speeding was responsible for more than 12,000 fatalities on U.S. roads, and distracted driving was linked to over 400,000 crashes. Collisions caused by negligent behavior tend to be more serious, emphasizing the critical need for drivers to remain vigilant, sober, and attentive at all times.
