There are over five million car accidents in the United States each year. Car accidents happen for hundreds of reasons. Generally, cities are much more prone to car accidents then rural areas because there are more vehicles on the road. Take, Atlanta for example. Here are the four most common causes of car accidents in Atlanta, and I would suggest hiring an Atlanta Personal Injury Attorney: Distracted drivers: A large percentage of accidents in the Atlanta area are due to distracted driving. Drivers talking or text messaging on their cell phones are not paying attention to the road and often will veer off and hit another vehicle. In accidents like this, an Atlanta car accident lawyer will make sure you are compensated for the distracted driver’s negligence. Poor roads: Ask any Atlanta driver and they will agree that Atlanta’s roads need major improving. Potholes cause flat tires or other damages that can cause serious injuries. Sadly, there seems to be no improvement in the road system in the near future so roads will continue to be a major cause of auto accidents in Atlanta. Mother nature: Although Atlanta does not experience weather like the northeast, mother nature still strikes and causes accidents. Just last year Atlanta experienced some of the worst ice storms in modern history. Inexperienced drivers: Many young drivers are not properly trained to handle rush hour traffic. Proper initiative needs to be taken so that young drivers can better handle themselves on the road. This could prevent a lot of accidents from happening. Regardless of the reason, if you have been injured in a car accident in the Atlanta, contact an Atlanta personal injury attorney. You may be able to receive compensation for another driver’s negligence. It’s unfortunate that accidents happen but if another driver injured you then you should at least fight for your rights.
