Car Accidents in Georgia
Georgia has a high rate of motor vehicle accidents, with Atlanta being one of the most congested cities in the state. Heavy traffic, distracted driving, and intersections like Piedmont Ave NE & John Portman Blvd often contribute to collisions. According to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), thousands of crashes occur in the metro area each year, leading to significant injuries and fatalities.
Common causes of car accidents in Georgia include distracted driving, which remains one of the leading causes of crashes due to cell phone use and other diversions. Speeding and reckless driving also contribute to most accidents, as drivers exceeding speed limits or failing to yield put themselves and others at risk. Atlanta’s high traffic volume creates additional hazards, particularly at busy intersections where congestion increases the likelihood of rear-end and side-impact collisions.
Following an accident, victims may face challenges such as medical expenses, lost wages, and dealing with insurance claims. Seeking immediate medical attention and understanding legal options can be crucial for those injured in a crash.
