Georgia Car Accidents
Each year, far too many lives are tragically cut short on Georgia’s roads due to fatal car accidents. These sudden collisions leave families facing unimaginable grief—struggling with the loss of a loved one while also dealing with the emotional and financial aftermath.
From busy interstates to rural backroads, Georgia crash data consistently reveals that driver error is a leading cause of deadly accidents. In most cases, these losses could have been prevented. Common contributing factors include:
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Distracted driving, such as texting or using a phone
- Running red lights or ignoring traffic signals
- Following too closely or failing to yield
- Fatigue, particularly on long trips or late-night drives
When a driver makes a careless or reckless choice, the consequences can be life-altering for the families left behind. Along with the heartbreak of losing someone dear, survivors often face sudden costs such as funeral expenses, medical bills, and the loss of household income and support.
Pursuing a wrongful death claim after a fatal car crash can be challenging. These cases require careful investigation, accident reconstruction, witness interviews, and often dealing with insurance companies that may try to minimize payouts.
