Georgia Auto Accidents
In 2023, Georgia saw a notable decline in traffic-related deaths, with the number of fatalities dropping by 8.8% from 1,797 in 2022 to 1,638. This positive trend is in line with the national reduction of motor vehicle accident deaths, which saw a 3.6% decrease, totaling approximately 40,990 fatalities across the nation. Despite this improvement, the state still saw a significant number of car wrecks, with the Atlanta Police Department reporting more than 28,000 incidents.
Several factors cause auto accidents in Georgia. Distracted driving, including texting, talking on the phone, and adjusting in-vehicle technologies, has emerged as a leading contributor, with related deaths increasing by ⅓ between 2014 and 2016. Intoxicated driving is also a substantial concern, accounting for approximately ¼ of traffic accident fatalities in the state. Additionally, driver errors like failing to maintain lanes and using turning signals continue to contribute to a considerable number of accidents.
