Car Accidents in Georgia
Car accidents are a leading cause of injuries across Georgia, with urban areas like Atlanta experiencing a high volume of crashes due to heavy traffic and congested streets. Intersections such as 14th St NE are particularly prone to accidents, especially during late-night or early-morning hours when visibility may be reduced, and driver fatigue can be a factor.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, there were over 330,000 motor vehicle crashes reported statewide in 2024, resulting in thousands of injuries and fatalities. Many of these incidents are caused by factors such as speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield.
For those injured in car accidents, the aftermath can be overwhelming, involving medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. Georgia’s comparative fault laws allow injured individuals to seek compensation even if they are partially at fault, provided their share of responsibility does not exceed 50%.
