Four-Wheeler Accidents in Georgia
Four-wheeler accidents are known for being some of the most severe accidents on our roads in Georgia. This is due to the fact that those on four-wheelers and other related vehicles have no protection from harm in the event of an accident. In just one recent year, over 135,000 people were seriously injured in these accidents and over 700 lost their lives. In the blink of an eye, your life could be turned upside-down due to an ATV accident that is not your fault.
