Rear-End Accidents in Atlanta

Atlanta, GA - Multi-Car Wreck on I-85 at Flat Shoals Rd Leaves Victims HurtMost traffic accidents that result in severe injuries or deaths in the United States and in the state of Georgia are rear-end collisions. Rear-end collisions, also known as “fender benders,” account for more than half of all incidents on Georgia’s highways.

A deadly or catastrophic injury is conceivable at any speed. Fragmented bones and spinal cord injuries are only two of the potentially lethal outcomes for accident victims.

Rear-end crashes caused at least 11% of all traffic fatalities in the prior year. Your legal rights must be safeguarded without delay, regardless of how serious your injuries are or what caused them. This is regrettably true, despite the core reason for your accident.

Those who have sustained injuries may find it more challenging to adapt to their new environments due to the restrictions put on them by their bodies. Large financial losses might be incurred as a consequence of any accident due to the need for medical attention and the time away from work. Also, the emotional suffering that results from another driver’s carelessness may be difficult to overcome.

For the most part, insurance companies do not consider victims when choices about compensation or coverage are being made. This is just one of many reasons why anybody who has been hurt in a vehicle accident in the Atlanta area should talk to an attorney right away.

Contacting a legal office in Georgia as soon as possible after a vehicle accident is crucial because of the long-lasting effects of such an occurrence.
