Georgia Car Accidents
Traffic accidents remain a serious and ongoing problem throughout Georgia, affecting communities large and small. With over 300,000 crashes reported statewide each year, thousands of individuals suffer injuries that disrupt their lives and require extensive medical care. Sadly, many of these accidents are preventable, often caused by reckless behaviors such as distracted driving, speeding, and impaired operation of vehicles.
Human error plays a dominant role in the vast majority of collisions—studies show that more than 90% of crashes stem from driver negligence. Driving under the influence continues to be a leading cause of fatal and injury crashes in Georgia, contributing to thousands of deaths annually. Speeding is another major factor that significantly increases the severity of injuries when accidents occur.
The impact of injury crashes extends beyond physical harm. Victims frequently face emotional trauma, loss of income, costly medical treatments, and challenges covering vehicle repairs. These burdens can quickly overwhelm families struggling to move forward after a crash.
