Fatal Auto Accidents in Georgia
Fatal accidents take place far too often and have far-reaching consequences. Unfortunately, there are many acts of negligence that continue to cause many of the collisions across our state. Leading factors in accidents include:
- Drivers who fail to yield: When drivers fail to obey traffic signs and yield to pedestrians or other vehicles, it can result in accidents. Lack of awareness and a disregard for traffic laws contribute to these collisions.
- Drivers who switch lanes recklessly: There are countless instances where car crashes are a result of drivers switching lanes in a reckless manner. When drivers fail to yield to others while switching lanes, do not check their blind spots or are between traffic, they can cause deadly collisions.
- Drivers who are speeding: Speeding significantly increases the chances of Georgia car accidents. When drivers exceed the speed limit, they have less time to react and make decisions on the road, increasing the risk of collisions.
In our state, the majority of accidents reported involve one or more of these factors. Unfortunately, the consequences of fatal collisions are far-reaching.
