Interstate Accidents in Georgia
Georgia’s highways, including I-285, are known for high traffic volumes, increasing the likelihood of collisions. Accidents on major interstates often occur due to speeding, lane changes, driver fatigue, or adverse weather conditions.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), interstate crashes account for a significant portion of traffic-related injuries and fatalities across the state, with early morning and late-night accidents posing additional risks due to reduced visibility and drowsy driving.
Motorists can help prevent accidents by staying alert, maintaining safe following distances, and avoiding distractions while driving on highways. Adhering to speed limits and practicing defensive driving can significantly reduce the risk of serious collisions.
For individuals injured in vehicle accidents, understanding their legal rights and options is essential in handling medical expenses, insurance claims, and recovery-related costs. Seeking professional guidance may provide necessary support after an accident.
