Car Accidents in Georgia
Car accidents happen commonly every day throughout the state of Georgia. In fact, car accidents are one of the leading causes of hospitalizations throughout the entire state. Hundreds of thousands of car accidents happen every single year in Georgia. In just one recent year’s time, over 116,000 people were hurt in car accidents. Though these accidents can happen anywhere, highways are some of the most common places for car accidents. These accidents happen due to many different reasons including driver distractions, drunk driving, speeding, drowsy driving, and more. These accidents can typically be prevented but continue to happen due to the negligence of others. If you have sustained injuries in a car accident caused by another party, you should be prepared to speak with an attorney that you can trust.
Nobody is ever fully prepared to face the aftermath of a car accident in Georgia on their own. Many serious injuries stem from these collisions every year including spinal cord injuries, broken bones, brain trauma, paralysis, burns, and more. These injuries are sometimes so severe that they land victims in the hospital for days, weeks, or even months at a time. On top of this, you may spend time away from work as you try and get back on your feet. Injured victims should always speak with a Georgia personal injury lawyer that they can trust.
