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: Texting or other distractions take the driver’s attention from the road ahead, contributing to fatal accidents due to compromised focus.
- Reckless driving: Aggressive actions while behind the wheel between travel lanes dramatically increase the risk of collisions taking place, which may result in fatalities.
- Running red lights or stop signs: Ignoring traffic signals at intersections increases the risk of fatal crashes taking place at these locations.
