Georgia Car Accidents
Hundreds of thousands of traffic accidents happen in Georgia every year. On average, the Peach State sees more than 300,000 vehicle collisions annually. This is more than many other states in the nation. These wrecks leave over 130,000 people with injuries while taking the lives of roughly 1,000 each year. If you or a loved one have recently been injured in a car crash, enlisting the help of a personal injury lawyer may be in your best interest. You may be eligible to collect financial compensation for the injuries and losses you have endured due to your recent accident.
Regrettably, most of the traffic collisions in Georgia and throughout the United States are caused by driver negligence, like speeding and intoxication.

Sustaining serious injuries in a car wreck can be extremely overwhelming and scary. Fighting the insurance companies for fair compensation is out of the question when you enlist the help of a personal injury attorney.
