Georgia Auto Accidents
Georgia sees a staggering number of traffic accidents each year, with over 300,000 auto collisions reported statewide. Tragically, more than 150,000 people sustain injuries, and thousands lose their lives as a result of these incidents. Most of these collisions are preventable and stem from negligent driving.
Negligent driving has become a pressing concern across the United States, particularly in the last decade. In fact, over 94% of reported traffic accidents in the US are linked to the actions of careless drivers. There are many ways drivers can be negligent, with the most common being:
- Driving under the influence
- Distracted driving
- Fatigue
- Speeding
In one recent year alone, more than 12,000 lives were lost due to drivers speeding on American roads. Additionally, over 400,000 accidents occur each year because of distracted driving. Collisions caused by driver negligence tend to be more severe and devastating than those caused by other factors, making it crucial to stay alert, aware, and sober while behind the wheel. When drivers act negligently, they risk their own lives and the lives of everyone they encounter on the road.
