Fatal Car Accidents in Georgia
Fatal crashes take tens of thousands of lives across the United States each year. The unfortunate truth is that many of these accidents take place right here in our states. Far too often, fatal collisions are reported as a result of the negligent and careless actions of other drivers. Some of the leading factors include:
- Distracted driving: As a result of distracted driving, drivers lose focus on the road ahead, which contributes to fatal accidents.
- Reckless driving: Acting recklessly behind the wheel increases the likelihood of a collision and, in some cases, can even cause a fatality.
- Running red lights or stop signs: Neglecting traffic signals increases the risk of fatal collisions at intersections.
