Car Accidents that Cause Fatality
\Fatal Car Accidents claim the lives of thousands of people every year and more often than not, 
the accident could have been avoided.
When someone you love is taken prematurely in a collision that was caused by driver negligence, not only do you suffer a tragic loss but also financial burdens.
The Personal Injury Attorneys at our Georgia Law Office represent the families who have lost someone in a fatal car accident.
The most common causes of fatal car accidents that our Georgia attorneys see include the following:
Drunk Driving
When a person makes the choice to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, their reaction time will be substantially slowed, not to mention weaving in and out of lanes, blurred vision, driving at reckless speeds, and impaired judgment. When a collision occurs because of drunk driving, the accident can be detrimental to everyone involved.
Distracted Driving
Distracted drivers are very common since the increase use of technology.
When a driver is distracted this can lead to running stop signs, red lights, swerving into other lanes, or failing to stop when traffic stops.
Distracted drivers often do not slow down at all before a collision because their attention is completely consumed by:
- texting
- talking on the phone
- programming a GPS device
- changing the radio station
- putting on make-up
- eating or drinking
Speeding
When a collision occurs at accelerated speeds, the result can be tragic.
The faster someone is driving, the harder the impact when the crash occurs. The injuries that occur during a high speed collision will often end in fatality.
Adverse Weather Conditions
Weather conditions can be a contributing factor of fatal car accidents, however it is often in combination with driver negligence.
For example, people will still drive the speed limit or faster during excessive rain, which makes stopping suddenly or at all nearly impossible.
When the weather is poor, it is up to the driver to be even more cautious to avoid a collision.
