Rear-End Collisions Throughout Atlanta

In point of fact, more than 52% of all automotive crashes in Georgia are either rear-end collisions or fender benders, as they’re also known.

Even at very moderate speeds, it is possible to suffer a catastrophic loss of life or serious injuries. Accident victims may sustain fatal injuries such as fractured bones and spinal cord injuries.

At least 12% of all deaths during the previous year were caused by rear-end collisions.
