Last updated Monday, March 20th, 2023

Lithonia, GA (March 19, 2023) – Two or three people were hurt in a serious car crash that reportedly occurred late Sunday afternoon, March 19.

According to the Lithonia Police Department, the incident happened at 5:45 p.m. on westbound I-20 before Exit 71 for Panola Road.

Emergency responders reported at least two injuries to authorities, though the current conditions of those victims are unknown.

Heavy traffic on that area’s right lanes closed the exit ramp for almost an hour. However, nothing new has been revealed about the investigation into the wreck’s cause.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their loved ones.

Multi-Vehicle Crashes in Georgia

Tens of thousands of accidents occur annually in Georgia due to careless driving. In fact, most of the latest traffic statistics from the Georgia Department of Transportation predicted that the state would see over 350,000 car accidents in 2021. Even with the widespread coronavirus pandemic, driving accidents increased dramatically in our state.

The hazards of our roads and the recklessness of drivers, such as texting while driving and driving under the influence, caused almost 1,200 deaths and at least 118,000 injuries. Those at fault in vehicle accidents should be prepared to pay a hefty amount of money, which naturally worsens the situation.

It should go without saying that those injured in accidents should not have to pay for their medical care. When picking an attorney to represent you after sustaining injuries in a preventable accident, your long-term health and happiness should take precedence. Consultation with an Atlanta automobile accident attorney is your best bet for obtaining answers.

You need to establish that the accident was not your fault so that the court will rule in your favor and rule that the other driver is responsible for the collision and your injuries. Is a claim always required? To what extent are your options constrained if you and the other side are unable to reach an agreement? Contact an Atlanta personal injury attorney for advice on what to do next.

Personal injuries, especially those caused by another driver’s negligence, may make it difficult to come back to normal life.
