Common Types of GA Accidents (Part A)

Among the most common types of GA accidents are rollover crashes, in which there were 386 fatalities in Georgia in 2009, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

A rollover crash involves a vehicle flipping over on the side or roof. It can be caused by the driver making a sharp turn while speeding, especially while driving a pickup truck or SUV because of the high center of gravity in these vehicles.

If you have been severely injured or lost a loved one in a rollover crash or any other GA accidents caused by someone else's negligence, you should meet with Carrollton lawyers to determine whether you should pursue a personal injury claim.

Other Common Car Accidents in Georgia

In addition to rollover accidents, other common car accidents in Georgia include the following:

  • Rear-impact collisions - these can cause major destruction or minor damage when a car rams into another from behind. Fault usually lies with the driver in the rear because that driver failed to hit the brakes in time to avoid the accident.
  • Head-on collisions - these GA accidents are usually the result of a driver falling asleep and swerving into the opposite lane or a driver under the influence of alcohol or other substances. The front of one car may collide with the front of another vehicle or an object such as a light pole, fire hydrant or tree.
  • Runoff collisions - these are usually single-car accidents that occur when a vehicle runs off the road. They typically happen when a driver is distracted or swerves to avoid hitting something. Single vehicle crashes resulted in 716 traffic fatalities in 2009, based on NHTSA statistics.


When you meet with Carrollton lawyers after your accident, they will compare your case with similar cases to gauge the strength of your claim, gather evidence, and interview witnesses before giving you an estimate of compensation to which you may be entitled.
