What You Need to Know About Georgia Car Accidents
Car accidents are a daily reality in Georgia, with thousands occurring each year. Major highways like I-75, I-85, I-285, and I-20 are notorious for high-speed collisions, while congested city streets in Atlanta, Decatur, and Savannah frequently experience intersection and rear-end crashes. Rural roads also pose risks, with limited lighting contributing to higher fatality rates in accidents.
Georgia law follows a fault-based system, meaning the at-fault driver is responsible for damages. However, proving liability and dealing with insurance companies can be challenging, especially in complex cases involving multiple vehicles or uninsured drivers. Our Georgia car accident lawyers are committed to guiding victims through the legal process and fighting for maximum compensation.
Common Causes and Types of Car Accidents in Georgia

- Drunk Driving and Drug-Related Crashes: Intoxicated drivers often cause severe, sometimes fatal, collisions.
- Head-On Collisions: These accidents frequently result from impaired or distracted driving and often cause catastrophic injuries.
- Highway Accidents: With Georgia’s congested roads, crashes at high speeds are common and can be devastating.
