Fatal Car Accidents in Georgia
Fatal accidents are a daily occurrence in our state. Despite their frequent nature, it’s nearly impossible to anticipate the sudden and unexpected impact they will have on your family. Unfortunately, a significant number of fatal collisions stem from driver negligence, with some leading factors including:
- Tailgating: Following other vehicles too closely poses a significant danger. Drivers who tailgate lack the ability to stop in time, leading to collisions that claim the lives of innocent individuals.
- Speeding: Traveling at excessive speeds heightens the risk of a driver losing control of their vehicle. Speeding, especially on curved roadways, can lead to drivers drifting into other lanes and colliding with nearby vehicles.
- Distracted driving: Accidents caused by drivers not paying attention to the road result in devastating outcomes, claiming the lives of innocent people. Examples include accidents caused by eating, talking with passengers, or texting on cell phones.
