Car Accidents in Georgia
Intersections are known for being some of the most dangerous places for car accidents in the entire state of Georgia. In just one recent year’s time in the U.S., over 2.5 million intersection accidents occurred due to the reckless acts of others. These accidents take on many different forms but rollovers are some of the most severe. In just one recent year’s time, over 2% of car accidents were deemed rollovers. This may seem like a small percentage but it is important to note that many of these accidents lead to severe harm. If you have been injured in a car accident that is not your fault, you have many options. It is crucial that you speak with an attorney that you can trust in your time of need.
Being injured in any type of Georgia car accident can leave you feeling helpless and alone.
