Car Accidents in Georgia
Hit-and-run accidents are some of the most severe accidents on our roads. When a driver flees the scene of a crash, they could leave injured victims behind in need of urgent medical help, which can be life-threatening. These accidents happen in many different areas but intersections are some of the most common places. In just one recent year’s time in the entire U.S., over 2.5 million intersection accidents took place due to the recklessness of others. These accidents occur due to many different reasons including distracted driving, driver intoxication, speeding, drowsy driving, and more.
