Car Accidents in Georgia
Car accidents in Georgia are a prevalent concern, affecting numerous individuals and families each year. Common causes of car accidents in Georgia include distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, and reckless behavior. Distracted driving, such as texting or using a phone while driving, diverts attention from the road and is a leading cause of accidents. Speeding reduces reaction time and increases the severity of accidents. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs impairs judgment and coordination, leading to devastating consequences. Reckless behaviors like weaving in and out of traffic or disregarding traffic signals contribute significantly to accidents on Georgia roads.
Injuries resulting from car accidents can vary widely in severity. Common injuries include whiplash, fractures, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and internal organ damage.
