Fatal Car Accidents in Georgia
Fatal accidents take the lives of innocent people every single day. Regrettably, there are far too many instances where innocent people die as a result of these crashes right here in our state. Many of the crashes that are reported on our roadways are entirely preventable. Leading factors in these fatal collisions include:
- Failure to Yield: When drivers fail to yield the right of way, they can cause collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists, potentially leading to fatal outcomes.
- Tailgating: Tailgating reduces the tailgater’s time to react to sudden stops or changes in speed by the vehicle in front, raising the likelihood of high-impact rear-end collisions that can be fatal.
- Driving under the Influence of Drugs: Drug-impaired driving compromises a driver’s ability to make decisions, react quickly, and control their vehicle, significantly heightening the chance of causing a fatal crash.
- Aggressive Driving: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as speeding, erratic lane changes, and running red lights, can lead to loss of control or high-speed impacts, resulting in fatal accidents.
- Poor Visibility: Poor visibility conditions, such as fog, heavy rain, or darkness, impair a driver’s ability to see other vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles clearly, increasing the risk of deadly crashes.
