Preventing Auto Accidents & Truck Accidents in Atlanta, Georgia: The Governor's Office of Highway Safety

The State of Georgia keeps somewhat detailed statistics about car accidents throughout the metro Atlanta area and the rest of our state. For example, there were over 132,000 injuries from auto accidents in Georgia for the year 2003. Unfortunately, these statistics are currently behind and only cover through 2003. In Fulton County, which covers most of the City of Atlanta, there were 21,629 motor vehicle crash injuries. In Douglas County, where my auto collision and workers' compensation law firm is located, there were 1,964 accidents with injuries. In Paulding County the number was 950. In Carroll County, which encompasses Carrollton, GA, the number was 1,714 car crashes.

These numbers and the Georgia Office of Highway Safety are conveniently located on the internet.
