Fatal Auto Accidents in Georgia
Dealing with the aftermath of a fatal collision can be an incredibly challenging experience. Sadly, in 2022 alone, nearly 43,000 individuals lost their lives due to crashes in the United States. Year after year, tens of thousands of innocent lives are tragically lost in fatal collisions on our roads.
A significant portion of these daily crashes result from negligence. Statistics reveal that almost 9 out of 10 collisions result from some form of negligent behavior by drivers. Leading factors contributing to fatal collisions nationwide include:
- Disregarding traffic lights: Ignoring red lights or stop signs can lead to severe accidents.
- Driver fatigue: Tired drivers have slower reaction times and reduced awareness, increasing the risk of crashes.
- Driving under the influence: Alcohol or drug impairment can drastically affect a driver’s ability to make sound judgments.
- Distractions while driving: Texting, eating, or using a GPS can divert attention from the road.
- Inexperienced drivers: Lack of experience can result in poor decision-making and inability to handle unexpected situations.
